I always remember that bit. Not sure why it stands out so much, but it does

Never heard it

Never heard this either but makes me think of the line....
'there's nothing harder for U than me' Ur gonna C me

I dont know baby who u think I am
Not ur average everyday super Sam!



I love it.

Isnt it funny how these songs just dont go anywhere with any album released? The sound is dated however the track is still funky and hot. I made a video to me dancing to this tune but avoided putting it on youtube because of obvious reasons.

never heard it either. how is "hard" meant in the song. as complicated? or something else?

Probably what it always means in a Prince song

Your Love Is So Hard
Not intended for any album, this track is sparse and upbeat with lots of sampled brass, strings and voice embellishments by Prince. Prince tells a story of woman who treats him bad. The song was a collaberation with Levi Seacer, Jr.


Your Love Is So Hard

Date line: 1989

I thought I was your lover wild
But U treat me like a step-child
I waited by the telephone
I knew U weren't alone
U wait until it's Friday night
And U call me up and start a fight
Say U and me ain't workin' out
But U'll be free on Sunday, what's this all about?

I don't know, baby, who U think I am
I'm not your average every day simple Sam
I could have a dozen others if I choose
But no other mama will do
Your love is so hard
Your love, your love is so hard
Baby, I like it

I thought we were the perfect match
U were so fine, such a catch
Nights were nasty, days were hot
I gave it all and in return, dogged is what I got

I don't know, baby, who U think I am
I'm not your average every day simple Sam
I could have a dozen others if I choose
But no other mama will do
Your love is so hard
Your love, your love is so hard
Baby, I like it

Date line: 1989
Come here baby, it's time
Hey girl, U've been hurt before
Gimme a chance, don't slam the door
Brown lover, funky M
I come 2 play, not 2 swim
OK, roll over

(1989)

Don't be so hard
Sugar, U'd be missin' everything in life
Don't be so hard
Ooh baby, maybe U could be my wife
Now say it again... uh, hard

I don't know, baby, who U think I am (Believe me, U be)
I'm not your average everyday simple Sam (Uh, ooh, hard)
I could have a dozen others if I choose (Ooh baby)
No other mama will do
Your love is so hard
Your love, your love is so hard
Baby, I like it

Enough

Funky M
I don't know, baby, who U think I am
I'm not your average everyday simple Sam
I could have a dozen others if I choose (Date line: 1989)
No other mama will do (It's time)
Your love is so hard

Date line: 1989

(I don't, I don't know)
It's time U get enough
It's time U get, it's time U get, time U get, time U get enough
And U'll be beggin' "Please, don't be so hard"

(1989)
Your love is, your love is so hard (19.. 19.. 19..)
Your love is so hard (1989)
Please don't waste precious time (1989)
Your love, your love, your is so hard (19.. 19.. 19..)
Your love is so hard (1989)
Your love is so hard

Might be my favorite outtake ever (this and "The Line")! It's so musically agressive, so damn funky!!! The copies we now have are really good but the voice still sounds "bootleg", i'd love so much to have it crystal clear!

I was planning to cover it when i used to have a band, but the project ended before we could work on it... So bad...

Its a quirtky upbeat song with lots of samples and funky 1988/1989 type Prince era drum embellishments.
