Open Book, something he should have kept.

I know he wrote this for someone else, or it was released by someone else, but I really think this should have been on one of his albums. Lyrically its beautiful, and you really feel his words. Its great poetry.
If he ever does release it, I believe he should release the actual demo version, I think it sounds fine just the way it is, no need to remake this gem.

I agree completely! Prince really should have kept this song for himself.It's amazing! Even after all this time,I think this song could easily be a huge hit.

If he'd put this on Diamonds & Pearls instead of bloddy Jughead or Push, it would've made the album so much better. That and Love, Thy Will Be Done. Its beyond me how he could justify leaving these off.

"now your touch is a reminder,like the thorns upon a rose
your beauty is mine if i can stand the cut"

is my favourite line from it
great song.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

All of you who havent heard it NEED to get this track. I would rate it as one of the top 5 unreleased tracks.

Wasn't it also offered to Martika?

I haven't heard the Jeveeta Steele version and I really don't want to.This is one of those Prince songs that only HE can sing.His version is simply amazing.
