I would have loved for this to have been the last song on Emancip instead of Emancipation.

OMG!!! This is one of my all time favs!! When I listen to it, I always wonder what happened to make her leave. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Especially the line:

'I could possibly stage a front and play the cool one
(Cool one)
Heart in my hand tryin' 2 hold back every cry

But who would applaud me when it's U, my one and only
Who ever gave me a good reason not 2 die '

Ohhh, that line just melts my heart! Awesome, awesome lyrics!!
heart
heart
heart

Does anyone know the story behind this song???
confuse

Yeah, it's a favorite. I went through a breakup a few months after this song dropped and it was really affective at bringing a tear to the eye. I'm not one to get overly emotional over a ballad, but this one did it! Beautiful song.

I Looove this song. I get emotional when I hear it but not to the point of crying, though it almost happened once. It's beautiful and it should have been on Emancipation but at least it saw the light of day on Crystal Ball.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

One of his most heartfelt ballads. I think he really cried while singing this.

last night when i left you fast asleeping..
i should have contemplated suicide
for the smile upon your face that's well worth keeping
by morning smears for every tear you cry


this song...i always listen to it when i'm sad. even if my sadness has nothing to do with love...i always feel my heart clench up in a ball listening to it...in a good way even.

yeah, you could say i love this song, sad as it is.
