Thanks, though I already have the album, cassette, CD and MP3-- all of which I very happily compensated Prince for. I just wish I could post a freaking link to the song when I'm trying to explain to the world how totally awesome it is.
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.
We've been together for quite some time I'd think by now you'd know It would take forever to get you off my mind If ever you decide to go I guess I got a little insecurity when it's concerning you I guess I'm just afraid that if you ever leave I'd be in a messed-up state of blue And I'd be so lonely
Without you loving me I know it's gonna be lonely Without you giving me everylittlesinglething that I need, lonely
Whatever's in your kiss, it really turns me on 'til I go right out of my mind And who could ever resist your accent from gay Paree It gets me every time I betcha thatcha never knew that in my dreams you are the star The only bummer is that you always want to leave Who do you think you are
Don't you know it's gonna be lonely Without you loving me I know it's gonna be lonely Without you giving me everylittlesinglething that I need, lonely
It's gonna be lonely
Without you loving me Giving me everything that I need Oh pretty baby, can't you see It's gonna be lonely
Without you loving me I know, I know it's gonna be lonely Oh, whatever's in your kiss I never could resist Oh, baby don't go!
We've been together for quite some time It'd take forever to get you off my mind Oh, girl!
Without you loving me I know it's gonna be lonely Without you by my side Don't you know that I could die, baby
Without you loving me Can't you see It's gonna be lonely
It's gonna be lonely, baby So lonely, baby

I get it, because one of my favorites is "When We're Dancing Close and Slow". Somewhat similar and on the same album.
his sexuality and romance was so mature for such a young guy. And the beat and melody and his lyrics were beautiful.
It's amazing how some of his most recent sound was the same in ways. [Edited 10/3/16 4:53am]
How can you only have one favorite Prince song? It's impossible for me to pick just one...
I was 9 years old. It was a hot summer night. I was at my only big brother's brand new house, upstairs, camped out on the sun porch that you could only get to from the master bedroom, looking above the trees, at the brillance of all the stars in the universe. When I first heard a DJ who would be Detroit's ONE and ONLY Electrifying MOJO, play an obscure record by someone who would be Prince. It became my absolute favorite Prince song, right then and there. Nothing in all this time would nor has ever changed that.

I was just listening to the Prince album today - and marveling at its genius. Thinking about a 20-year-old putting that album together soup-to-nuts, all by himself, just boggles my mind.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

There is not ONE single version of Prince performing my absolute favorite Prince song on ENTIRE Internet! Yet THIS exists on Youtube:
What the fucketty fuck fuck FUCK was that?!?!?!?
WARNING WARNING WARNING TO THE ENTIRE ORG - Once you see this, you can't unsee it.
Proceed with extreme caution!
Uh.. not really sure what happened there? Reminded me a little of pulp fiction! Yeah... pretty disturbing... but I do have to say it sounds better than most of the stuff on the radio right now!! Thanks 4 posting!!

this. Turned you on .
In more ways than I ever understood...until the very moment...that I was actually supposed to understand.
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.
Yet...there is no real trace of that song on the entire internet.
I feel you. I can't tell you the number of times I've belted out that song to the top of my lungs with all my heart for no damned reason except I felt like it and I love that song.. I feel sorry for those that heard me, I can't sing.
I started a thread a while back about rediscovering the amazing Prince album. I feel like its always a bit lost in the shuffle do to its tone and frankly, not sexually aggressiveness. Yet, its every bit as great as Dirty Mind or Controversy. That album has grown in its greatness over the years.
