I've always been fond of this song too! His vocals are smooth, haungtingly beautiful, and melancholy.

Dionne.....U should have held my hand.

U should have let me be your man.

Dionne! Love it!

Brilliant song! So bittersweet, quirky, clever and interesting. The vocal arrangement, instrumentation, lyrics and baroque mood are incredible. I wish he would do more of these ditties.

I love how he blames Dionne for the broken relationship throughout the song until the end when he finally realizes it may have been his fault all along.

What a beautiful song. Definately in my top ten.

Say it's just a dream...

So u lean over and give her a kiss

Here on earth, here on earth

Stay right here

I agree. The Truth is an underrated Prince album. In fact, few people realize that Prince has released peculiar and unusual records like:

The Truth
One Nite Alone
Xpectation


These are the products that should reach a wider range of audience.

I put on "The Truth" for "Don’t Play Me" and "Dionne"
Two truly fantastic songs.
After "The Truth" I thought Prince may have gotten back on his artier path.....but he merely strayed a bit.
