"Gotta Broken Heart Again"

I've gotta broken heart again
Cuz we're only supposed to be friends
You see he stole my old lady away from me
And now I'm just as blue as I can be
I've gotta broken heart again
Cuz I ain't got no money to spend
You see I spend it all on long distance phone calls
Beggin her to please come home, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah
It doesn't matter what I do
I can't stop, ah, thinking about you
The little things you said
The things you do to me in bed
Oh baby, I can't get you outta my head
Oh, oh, gotta broken heart again, is yeah
This time it's serious
It feels just like the end
Cuz once your love has gone away
There ain't nothing, nothing left to say

Love it...it does have kind of an early Prince song vibe to it and that makes it even better.

Great song, but seems out of place on Dirty Mind. Seems a little too "innocent" for an album where almost everything else is dirty and/or in your face.

Maybe that's by design?

Well he does say "the things you do to me in bed", although that line may have just been Prince's way of trying to make it fit with the other songs on the album.

Always loved the reverb drenched sound effect at the end of the song.

Indeed, it's a wonderful sad ending.
