What a fantastically crafted pop ballad.

I think it would work great in the piano medleys on the recent tours - I bet it would be a real crowd pleaser.

My Favourite song on the Prince album (just beating Still Waiting).

I loved jills version too, but I would love to hear Prince "re-do" this one.

Its one of his best ballads.

My least favorite on the album.

In the case of Romance1600 vs Prince:

Your Honour, I refer you to examine those tracks closer:

- Do Me, Baby: "Hold me, I'm so cold..."
- International Lover: "Thank you for flying, Prince, Airlines"
- Girl: "Tsk God! All I have to do is think about you and I have an orgasm..."


Your witness!

speaking of the for you album... I can't find mines

The man actually played a very nice instrumental version of this on the soundcheck of the Oslo concert. So he hasn't forgotten it.

It's on Prince, btw.

Yeah I know.. I was just trying 2 find a sneaky way of adding For You in there without having 2 make a new thread about it

Anywayz With You is a cool song... but nothing beats I feel you/ when we're dancing close

For You edit

awright, your honor...i refer you to listen to "with you" in its entirety...it ain't naughty like the aforementioned songs. in fact, the sappiness in the track overshadows all the hanky-panky in the other 3 songs. listen n'read along:

I've held your hand so many times
But I still get the feeling I felt the very first time
I've kissed your lips and laid with you
And I cherish every moment we spend in each other's arms
I guess my eyes can only see as far as you
I only want to be with you

We've come so far in so little time
Sometimes I wonder if this is meant to be
Sometimes you are so very kind
That the nights you're not with me I'm scared that you're gonna leave

I guess you could say that I'm just being a fool
But I only want to be with you

I guess you could say that I'm just being a fool
But I always, always want to be with you


...purty song, eh? ain't it a lot like an aural bowl of sugar cubes, tho'? i seen you gaggin over there, your honor.....ehh, your witness, 1600!



edit in the court!
