~Acknowledge Me~

Here's a few linez...Love this song, from Disc One of "Crystal Ball."

Say baby…what U waitin’ on? 4 U there aint’ no other fish in the sea.

Acknowledge me.

I can make U happy baby over and over again.

How could U give Ur body 2 another, when Ur mind is here with me?

Acknowledge me.

Every day that goes by is another day I want U more.

I lay U down and tell U stories about the way that we could be.

Acknowledge me.

I was here in the beginning and I’ll be here forevermore.

I’m on my knees, U know it. I can make U happy baby over and over again.

Acknowledge me.

Thank the Lord.

Acknowledge me baby what are U waitin’ 4?

This might as well be a "Crystal Ball," appreciation thread...I love "Ripopgodazippa," 2...I love Prince's accent.

Me, too. The video for it in The Beautiful Experience TV movie was really cool, too.

Do you think it would have been a hit if had been able to release it as a single with the accompanying video back in 1994? I do.

Acknowledge Me and Ripopgodazippa were also on this configuration:

But most importantly, Acknowledge Me was on the tape that Prince sent to a radio station or two back in 1994, which meant it got bootlegged immediately so we could all hear it back in 1994.

: the radio tape (6 March 1994)
1. The Beautiful Experience Medley (10:22)
2. Interactive (2:25)
3. NPG Operator/Days Of Wild (3:55)
4. NPG Operator/Now (4:46)
5. Poem (3:36)
6. Acknowledge Me (5:27)
7. 319 (3:19)
8. Pheromone (4:36)

Acknowledge Me sounds 2 actual time

The Soul Train performance was very good too.

Tame said:

coming from Prince, thats hilarious.

scififilmnerd said:

No I didn't know that...I love all of "Crystal Ball," "Crucial. 2morrow." I like "CloreenBaconSkin." 2...

I guess Prince pulled those songs because of album length.

scififilmnerd said:

i like the whole COME,CRYSTAL BALL BEAUTIFUL EXPERINECE 'VIDEO' AND GOLD ALBUMS.

Nah...I believe that when someone loves someone that is in the entertainment field..It can be discouraging as one woman loving a man that is loved by so many women...

Even though spiritually U feel safe and secure...U psychologically take a back seat 2 the whole thing...and end up with something U didn't bargain 4, loving the one u are with, because u aren't with the one u love.

I know I need Anotherloverlikeineedaholeinmyhead...

Nice lyrics.

Hi Tame.
