First of all... Yes, I know that they are the same song, but "Dope" is a rewritten version of "I Wanna Be With You". Just thought I'd clarify that.

Anyways, I prefer "I Wanna Be With You" because it was dedicated to her fans and it was really special and emotional, and I honestly thought she would leave it like that for the album. "Dope" is way too different from the original version. I like it, but it's not as good. I'm really disappointed. I think she should release the original version as a bonus track or standalone single, like Taylor Swift did with "Ronan" or Adele did with "Skyfall".

And for those of you who haven't seen, Gaga has posted various lyrics from "Dope" (the remastered version of "I Wanna Be With You" on Instagram in the past two days):

Here is the original:

So... Which song do you prefer? The original ("I Wanna Be With You") or what we've heard from the remastered version for the album ("Dope")?

I love both but Dope's lyrics seem to be more promising

No one has yet. I mean, like, from what we've seen from it so far as far as lyrics go. It's the same melody, but different lyrics, I think.

I know what you mean. The lyrics of "Dope" are really creative and really well-written, but I relate a lot more to "I Wanna Be With You", and the fact that she wrote it for her fans but then re-wrote it so that it relates to something entirely different irritates me a lot. I really want her to release "I Wanna Be With You" separately. They are two completely different songs at this point. She changed it too much for it to be considered one song. I'm really excited for it, but it better be really damn good because she changed "I Wanna Be With You" (the best song from the iTunes Festival) WAY too much....
