The Greatest Romance Ever Sold

About The Greatest Romance Ever Sold

"The Greatest Romance Ever Sold" is a song recorded by American musician Prince, under his unpronounceable stage name called the "Love Symbol". It was released as the only single from his twenty-third studio album Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic (1999). It was issued on October 5, 1999 in several different formats, including a 12-inch single, CD single, and a maxi single. Prince solely wrote and produced it, while Mike Scott provided guitar strings for the track. Several music critics found the single reminiscent to the works on his previous studio album, Diamonds and Pearls (1991). The track is a smooth hip hop and soul ballad, featuring Prince's multi-layered vocals in the chorus. A B-side remix of the single entitled "Adam and Eve", featured a guest rap from Eve, while The Neptunes remix featured a guest rap from Q-Tip. The former version was included on Prince's first remix album, Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic (2001). The single became a minor hit, peaking at number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100. An accompanying music video was created shortly after Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic became available for purchase. more »

The greatest romance that's ever been sold

So what do you know, you and me
Finally face to face
Checking each other up and down
In all of the obvious places
Was there ever a reason for us to be apart?
The air that fills up this room says, "not hardly"
So this is where you end, and you and I begin
(That's where you and I, you and I begin)
The greatest romance that's ever been sold
The greatest romance that's ever been sold

Baby, baby
Now your mind is open 
To poetry seldom heard
You're heart has never been broken
Until you've heard these words,
"Your body was designed to respond to mine
In spite of your desire to mold me"
And in the middle of it all,
We kiss and like rain (like rain) we fall into

The greatest romance that's ever been sold
The greatest romance that's ever been sold

Oh, I know you can feel me,know that you can dance
But what do you know about the greatest romance?
Not what you think, but what you believe
What was the real reason that Adam never left Eve?
And if the truth sounds like a memory
Then you know it was meant to be (meant to be), meant to be
Leave your inhibitions behind come on, come on, and see
So this is where you end (this is where you end)
And you and I begin 

The greatest romance that's ever been sold
The greatest romance that's ever been sold

I know you can feel, I know that you can dance
But what do you know about the greatest romance?
(The greatest romance)
Not what you think, but what you believe
Can you tell me the reason (reason) that Adam never left Eve?
(The greatest (greatest) romance (romance)
Listen to me
(that's ever been sold)

You brought me
The grapes from the vine, yes you did
(The greatest romance)
Can I talk to you
(that's ever been sold)
Listen
You help me to remember the secrets of time
And you, you, you, you offer me your love, your love, your love 
So divine
And in return, girl, in return I will surrender
Oh yeah, I will surrender, oh yes, I will
