Geez, wake up and clean out those ears dude! It baffles me how this can be a hard question, this really is no competition at all.

If I was Your GF is a truly fucking great Prince classic & a masterpiece ... the other one is just okay, not bad, not great.

IIWYG is an innovative (on a legendary scale) idea, but I have to say it's not my favorite song musically. Just the idea of it has made it one of Prince's all time classics.
But I don't want to listen to it over & over like I do the songs that surround it on the album.
WDYWMTD to me is a better song musically, but far from innovative. It does sound like old prince, however, which should please some people. It just won't be remembered like IIWYG because it's just a nice song.

While I'm on the subject, WDYWMTD reminds me of some other song in its chord changes. Maybe something from michael jackson's Off the Wall. Not a rip off, just reminiscent.
"Cant help it if I wanted to/wouldn't help it even if I could" I s that what I'm thinking of?

Personally, I LOVE IIWYGF, and I despise WDUWM2D. The latter is possibly the most boring, uninteresting song P has done in years. Its not even interesting enough to be on a piece of crap like NPS, much less a good album like Musicology.
