This could be Princes next HIT right now...

Probably not his best outtake...but it's radio friendly
and those layers of vocals that Prince is known for
are at their best in this song...

Definately a slammin' song...headbang

Whatcha thank??

I Wonder

A gust of sun and wind come and
Took my girl away from me
Now my tears could fill an ocean
My tears could fill a sea

I wonder if she thinks about me...
I wonder

Many women come and go, they say
My hearts uncaring (uncaring)
Maybe they don't hold me like she does
Nooo (no they don't) it's unbearable

I wonder if she knows that I've turned
Down their hug and kissing
Cause It's her that I'm missing
I wonder if she really knows...I wonder

I wonder if she knows how much I love her
I wonder if she knows how much I need her
Face around
I wonder...if she cares about me...I wonder
well...gon', get it one time.
well well well well

Maybe she'll come on Monday
Then again, maybe NOT
Maybe she'll let me get her excited
(woohooHOO) Get her sweaty, get her HOT (hot)

I wonder if we'll finally do what I've been
dreamin' so long

I wonder if she knows that I see us makin' love
So-oh-oh-oh-oh strong (so strong)

I wonder what ground's below her
I wonder what sky's above
I wonder if she knows how much I extra-absolutely
so complete and sweetly love her
I wonder if she knows how much I love her
Wonder...

All the other girls I know are dumb
Dumber than a post
But my girl knows everythang (everythang)
I'm the King, so I need to boast
Still I wonder...if she really ever knows
(I wonder if she knows)

I wonder if she knows how much I love her
I wonder if she knows how much I need her
face around ...I wonder...if she cares about
me..I wonder...I wonder if she knows how much
I love her...I wonder if she knows how much
I need her face around...I wonder...


fade...
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I dig the song, but it would have to be seriously reworked. That type of song is for contemporary adults and would not work on mainstream radio which is now dominated by hip-hop.

It's a nice song,but it doesn't sound like a "hit" to me.For a Prince song,it's kinda ordinary and simplistic."Open Book",on the other hand,could be a smash...

Sometime between late 1990 - early 1991.

I love Open Book also...
I feel the beauty of "I Wonder" is IN it's simplicity.
It really does have a catchy hook.

I had a friend over the other night, and he REALLY
liked "I Wonder"...actually, he liked alot of
the stuff i played that night...maybe it was a coming
out party for him...lol.

Poor guy, he was bombarded with Prince all night...
Should've known better than to come to MY house...lol

i wonder is an AMAZING song, and has a "simplistic" pop structure, but the emotion in his voice, and the production just blows me away.

i ADORE this song. of course, in a country where kelly clarkson's cd debuts at #1, i think we have to accept the fact that we can't handle talent when it comes to music - i guess maybe it intimidates a lot of people? i don't know.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

To many I wonders. Still good song, but P hasn't made any slammin hits in years now, so why should this b a new one...?
I hope though that he will make hits that would last forever - like purple rain and raspberry beret. nod Now that was slammin!
