  • somehow i feel better than you?

  • nice

    

  • omg i am white and i love this song! i heard a black coworker has it on her mp3 i just had to come home and find this song.

  • Man, this brings back memories when I had this one on a cassette also. One of those cheap ones from Walgreens. Morris you the man!

  • Wish this music would come back. I know every generation has their time, but this was mine and I loved it. Slow songs at the dance or roller rink. Who slow dances nowdays? I still slow dance to my husband, met when this song was out.

  • SEE, JIGGALOS GOT FEELINGS TOO

  • My Type Of Party !!!!!

  • Prince there will never be another like him!!! only once in this lifetime. He is a genius!!!

  • Myfourchildren38. That's so sweet

  • I love this song because my husband song this to me in front of family and friends while we dated. So when I am out and I hear this it reminds me of him. (Milton Diggs). Thanks you for this song.

  • I put this track on a cassette and took it college, along with Princes spin off group The Family's original version of Nothing Compares 2 U...Oh snapple cakes and shakes...

  • He sang the hell out of this song!

  • High School, Houston Jack Yates 1983, so many great Ol Skool Memories!! Those really were the times!

  • there was a time Morris and Prince hated each other, but when they worked together did great things.

  • Beginning sounds like a funeral........when u loose the one i hear from dudes its SAD!! lol Treat em right fellows!

  • thank u.

  • Listen. Repeat. Listen. Repeat. So on and so forth. This shit is so good it hurts.

  • Oooooh stop playing.....talk about some real slow dancing with your man....yes!!!!!!!!

  • This was actually before, "The Time". This was primarily Prince and Morris Day on demos. Listen to "Gigolos Get Lonely Too", and you'll hear true raw talent before both of them hit 'Big Time". AWESOME!

  • Hearing this does bring back some sweet memories about that special someone. How can I ever forget you Evon?

  • PRINCE AND THE TIME= GENIUS

  • It's from their first album it' s a self-titled album

  • My goodness...... These times really need to come back. Music made so much sense. Prince, Morris Day & The Time, Zapp & Roger, just to name a few. They know how to sing & make you feel a certain way. So good.

  • How did I sleep on this? I thought this was a Full Force joint!! Damn I didn't know Morris had chops like that! He sang the shit out of this! What album is this on? Anyone know?

    Full Force killed it too! Shit after hearing this I don't know which one is better!

  • @Bdog1277 "The Time" (1981)

  • @wichopunkass: Let me know if you still haven't found the lyrics. i know them by heart cause that's where they be...

  • The coolest band ever!!!!

  • this group was simply perfect for then..we need music like this desperately now...i bet they had a blast doing their thing..I miss them times..

  • any one got the chords to this..I cant break it down..please help

  • hell yea!!!!

  • This girl I dated loved the shit out of this song

  • This girl

  • When we use to dance with the lights down low...

  • thank you, thank you, thank you...

  • Man I love The Time, & this & Oh Baby are my favorite slow jamz by them, I love Prince's backing vocals, what a music genius he is. But Morris vocals was on point : ) Girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Morris was singing this song to somebody when he recorded this...CLASSIC...& I have this on CD, not bootleg either...

  • I know this original version, but I love the way Full Force did a rendition of this.

  • This was my jam as a dumb teenager madly in love with Morris Day! I was going to marry this guy. LOL!! I saw him in concert and about died! Wow!! I WISH HE WOULD GET SAVED AND SING FOR JESUS CAUSE HE HAS A TIGHT VOICE!! I WOULD BECOME HIS FAN AGAIN.

  • I got my lighter up. This song was deep in the 80's... luv it

  • when love songs were real music.....

  • If you've had a break up with a female... show up with this song blasting on your car stereo & serenade her under her window & if that doesn't get you back up in there... nothing will ;)

  • @MrKradRetfa Or....it doesn't even have 2 be a breakup....u're just at ur last resort 2 win her heart & u just hope...somehow....its not too late.......

  • @MrKradRetfa Will I need the perm?

  • can any female who enjoys this type of music hit me up ? @ empire_3M@yahoo.com

  • @WATTSNATIONALIST I really love Prince and Morris Day!!! I enjoy this type of music.....

  • Classic!

  • I've always been a fan of their music this is a classic.

  • Great song still

  • chills..

  • Hard to believe that it has been 30 YEARS since this beautiful song first hit the airwaves. R&B music was such a joy, an utter delight then, not as lackluster and generally uninspiring as it is today.

  • Listen to Morris Day and Prince, they did all the vocal on this song, along with the rest of the Time's first album. Prince did all the instuments and arrainging and producing, a musicial genius.

  • @MrMonroe62 Ur one of the few that I've come across that knows that it's Prince on the background vocals!

  • wow i havent heard this in for ever wow!

  • so blue lightes in tha basement

  • Prince is a genius.  Decades later Morris & Jerome can still tour with these Prince written classics!!!

  • Instant wetness........daaaammmmmmm!!!­!!!

  • Morris Day I love you man!! I have always loved this song. I was just a little girl when this song came out. But the firs time I heard it, instantly it was a hit with me.

  • These nigguhs were clean. By the way, the best The Time song of all time is 777-9311

  • Sweet song

  • That's a SWEET song :D

  • I looove this song! Thank you much for sharing such an oldie classic!!

  • SUCH an underrated song!! I'm surprised this song has been covered. This song is the definition of a CLASSIC!

  • the last 4 seconds of this song are epic....

  • THE perfect song for the one YOU KNOW you let get away and really feel really fucked up, now that you know this, and you realize that 1 million others CANNOT match that one person!

    Any doubts anyone had about the soul of Morris Day, he ERASED with this song!

  • I already had the album on the turntable in my room and I put on "Girl" and it was like magic. The whole atmoshere changed and I could see it in her eyes. That song is perfect for young love when you're not quite there yet but you're on your way in a hurry! Kissing all over the bed, hair all messed up, breathing and panting hard..My heart was about to beat through my chest! That's THIS song for me...

  • It's a sweet melancholy song..Perfect for young love or young crushes. As a kid, The Time and P's music was perfect for me because I patterned myself in the way I looked after P and Jesse Johnson. I always wore my hair long so even then, girls were comparing to P and Jesse. So girls who liked them usually liked me! lol Anyway, this song was part of my soundtrack definately.. I liked a few different girls but one especially was Joyce. I finally was able to get here to come over and man oh man..

  • For all of ya'll that really like this song, P totally got this from the Rolling Stones's song "Fool To Cry". The keyboards especially are damn near identical. I always liked "Fool To Cry" so when I first heard "Girl", I instantly thought of that song. But I have always loved "Girl". That was my MAIN makeout song! Whenever I had a girl in my room and I knew we were going to get busy (!), I would always put on this song. Hey, I was only 11 when it first came out!

  • @Kisspfunk77 sounds like do me baby

  • I then saw them again just 2 days later on Valentines Day, Feb 14, 1982 at The Roxy. They were the only band on the bill. I was 11 years old about to turn 12. I first met Lisa Coleman, P's keyboardist, at this show at The Roxy. She was there in the audience. She told me that P was "somewhere around here". P also recorded "International Lover" for The Time but after he heard them doing it in rehearsals, he decided to keep it for himself and put it on his 1999 album!

  • The first song from the album to be released as a single was "Get It Up" then "Cool". But "Girl" was the pure heartbreak song. Better than "Do Me, Baby" I think, which came out a few months later on P's Controversy album. I first saw The Time when they opened for P on the Controversy tour on Feb 12, 1982 out here at the Santa Monica Civic. It was P, The Time and Zapp. Anyway, when The Time got to this song, all the girls completely lost their minds. They were screaming non stop through the song.

  • One of P's best ballads. P is on all of the instruments as well as backing vocals. That's the case for most of this album. Morris played drums on a few songs on the second album but not on this one. I know Morris well and I have recorded with him as well as A.C. The song "Oh Baby" was originally slated for P's second album but he replaced it for "With You" instead. So he gave "Oh Baby' to The Time. Yeah, I totally remember when this album first came out. I bought it the day it was released.

  • 3 people are boys

  • @DMOB232 Wet behind the ear, snot nosed boys! lol

  • LAWD HAVE MERCY....

  • When you hear a song and lose yourself in emotion....sadness, happiness, heartbreak, inspiration, joy, pain....that's when you know you got a classic (no matter how popular it was to the rest of the world). This song has that power. Thank you Time for giving us such a majestic R&B ballad.

    I love the backwards vocal part at the end. Very Prince.

  • all time will make you cry hard

  • The Time was one of those bands that just had it together. I can't wait for the new album. Should be coming out soon. Should also be a new Famiy album as well.

  • GOOD MUSIC!!!!!!

  • This song will always make me think of my first love, Ricky P. You already know who this is.

  • i remember this song when i got dumped by my first love at 16....

  • @bossbitch213 hey i got dumped to this song too...head it about 100 times back to back.....

  • This is the cut of all cuts!!! Heyyy girl I dont what to do best beggn since Lenny Williams

  • i cant believe after all these years this is one of my favorites it still makes me feel young

  • love this song so sweet makes me think of my first love!

  • This is my shiiiiiiiiiiittttt!!!!

  • makes me think of my first love, & brings a tear to my eye

  • @rpink7 No Tears Baby ... Just Memories of the girl that left my azz ... Big Smile For Ya !

  • played this song and others like it for two weeks straight non stop when me and my first real love broke up....have loved it every since, hard to find ...thanks.

  • I have always love this song..the music...and the words...but what is crazy is that I am a woman that unfortunately went from a long relationship to the best thing that has happened to me for 7 yrs and my sister in law loves this song as much as I....Your artistry is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Did anybody notice that years later Jam and Lewis revisited this song in someways with the New Edition song Still In Love with you if you notice it begins like this song ends.

  • Still In Love

    Still In Love

    Still In Love

  • Morris definitely sung his heart out on this.

  • WOW... MY BOYFRIEND IN HIGH SCHOOL ALWAYS CALLED JUST TO SAY HI  DAMN I MISS HIM ... ESPECIALLY WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG I DON'T WANT TO CRY .. MY FIRST LOVE

  • There are some sangs sung out of love, but the ones that touch so much more are the ones out of not only love, but desperate love.This is one one of those songs.

  • Hard to listen to this song and not CRY!!!!!!!!

  • man,i would always use this song to get my groove on , the ladies loved it ...and so did i .

  • What happen to the "Ivory Dude" in the group? He was the coolest white guy on the planet!

  • Gotdamn The Time takes cool ass pictures! I got a framed poster of the first album cover now and had the one from Pandemonium where they're looking up when I was a kid.

  • One of my favorite slow jams..

  • Morris sings the hell out of this song.

  • sadly, the girl i'm thinking of is a mental K-head schitzoprenic girl, who kept texting me messages saying she was going to kill herself!

    I still love her though!

  • Man this song was the joint back in the day... Morris is really singing this one and love that classic Prince/Minneapolis sound. Song like this are what make me enjoy music.

  • Oh My Goodness! You have no idea how long I've been trying to find this song! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for posting this!!! I will love this song for LIFE!!!

  • " I guess I finally realized keeping you close to mw would keep me alive" It's truly a painful feeling to allow someone you love to leave your life :o(

  • if so much ppl love 80s music tell me ..why help da ppl the young wanna be musicans to come up ..2000 s music is DA LAST SHYT???

  • you know what.....this song has soooo much passion..it goes to show you that you dont have sound like luther vandross to make a classic love song...wrote and produced by prince..awesome minn-sound..

  • THE FACT IS MOST OF YOUR 80'S BANDS WAS THE BANDS WITH THE REAL TALENT. I MEAN ALL 80'S BAND FROM POP TO ROCK TO HEAVY METAL. I'VE LISTEN TO IT ALL WHEN I WAS A YOUNGSTER. I SEEN PRINCE IN PERSON A VERY TALENTED ARTIST AS WELL AS A SHOW HE HAD TALENT AND STILL HAS TALENT. 80'S ROCKED I AM PROUD TO BE AN 80'S ERRA

  • Memories are wonderful...especially when they remind you of that special person that was once a part of your life. We we highschool sweethearts. R.I.P. Sheldon.

  • Comment removed

  • CHECK OUT THE ICE CREAM CASTLE ALBUM. IF THE KIDD CAN'T MAKE YOU COME,ICE CREAM CASTLE, MY DRAWER AND ETC. TO NAME A FEW OF THAT CUT. BACK THEN I HAD TO GET THE CASSETTE VERSION. THEY DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS AND OTHERS IN THE LATE 70'S AND 80'S.

  • ice cold djayz gary indiana

  • This is the only song I remember Morris 'really' singing on.  Wish he had done more of it. Love this song.

  • @ twon, yea just make a girl come out of all her clothes!!!!!! lmao!

  • young when first heard but you see made big impression on, good music real bands real talent, miss this. I rarely listen to this new stuff its a joke. where are the real artist?

  • ...i'm still in love w/u...still in love w/u...i'm still in love w/u

  • Takes me back to the spring of 82 when I was in the 8th grade. Such great memories. The lyrics are so poinant and almost make me want to cry. I know every guy has been there.

  • Underground Grooves I like your style very but you got find this song called Maybe I think it came out in 1987 on the b-side of Fishnet on 45 rpm. You seem to be able to find some cool stuff. Please find this. Peace

  • Prince why did you give this song to your cuz? why? - Thank you for posting this only the true fans know this one. Much love from New Orleans

  • Prince song. Listen closely and you can hear his background vocals. Great song!!

  • This has always been one of my favorite songs. I remember being young, I mean like in elementary school, listening to this song. I love this song.

  • REAL FUCKING CLASSIC!!!!!!!

  • This is the best Love song of all time.If your woman don't come back after hearing that song she wasnt your woman .Thanks TIME!

  • Best Time song ever. One of my all time fav slow jams.

  • Great memories of the 80's. Funny but many of the kid's didn't dig the Time in 1983 but I did and so did my Girlfriends. WHEW BABY

  • Amazing ..

  • this is a song you could get close and slowdance that was the bomb

  • best song that they ever made that's being published

  • this is timeless music. It makes all of the music today sound like toilet trash. Rap is a garbage industry, R&B is a garbage industry, and Hip Hop is the worst of them all. Music has went from something that used to make you feel good, to something that makes you feel sick.

  • @musalaam ,,,,sad but your correct

  • @musalaam - Youtube can shut down the comments because you said it all. Everything I was thinking you captured it in this one comment - Thank you! This song takesme to a beautiful place when I didn't even know what love was but wanted some. Much love from New Orleans

  • A "Classic" among "Classics"!!!

  • Thanks davisyoung1974 for the comment on mine it boggles my mind that alot of good music is getting lost in the shuffle these days cause if your not a tabloid srew up Its hard for real musicians to get real attention these days

  • MAN!!! high school times those were the days

  • Is Prince really in this song?

  • Truly, love is the pain you can't refuse.

  • SLOW GRINDING MUSIC,EVERY BODY DANCED ON THIS.......DAM TRUE LOVE.....

  • One of my favorites!

  • OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

  • YOU DON'T HEAR TOO MANY LIKE THIS ONE ANYMORE

  • Prince is singing the high parts on here

  • This in my opion is the best TIME song they brought

  • 40 year old white girl spent many nights in my room listen to electrifyin mojo back in the day

  • @mootothemax01 AMEN. Mojo was the real deal. MFA FOREVAH! (Anyone who was steeped into R&B and grew up in Detroit during the late '70s and '80s will be able to relate.) This particular song from The Time dates from 1981.

  • The Anguish! wonderful tortured singing!

  • @SMAXX34 you said it. Better than I did.

  • This is the ish!!!! Classic!!! Basement party, slow draggin music!!

  • twon how many panties and bras? i hope you pack a condom box wearing 3 condoms ! serious man it aint worth feeling good then getting aids and stds

  • I'm in my 40's and this was a staple on Black radio for a couple of years . I think from 1981-1984. Quiet Storm back in the day.

  • My FAVORITE Time/MD song. Thanks for posting!

  • This brings back the best of memories!!!!! Nothing is like the "Time"....

  • love this song, thanks for posting it:)

  • I'm lovin it!

  • I was young when this song came out but being a prince n time fan I eventually found it prince and morris did an awesome job on this a real masterpiece it would be a hit today if the music industry wasnt a joke radio mtv vh1 bet dont really play real music anymore times have changed im 31 glad i got to see the music industry when it was still creative

  • @humbl121 you are so right.I'm 35 and music really is sad right now glad we had the classics and REAL parents that shared REAL music and life with us to make us understand were thing originated.Now its such a lack of respect for history on things in our daily lives with the Miley Cyrus and T-pain era.

  • @humbl121 : Well said.
