Curious Child Lyrics
musician: Prince In a room full of harlots and fantasy Destiny beckoned us there Curious child on the balcony We took the dare Careless I was 2 caress thee Yet never regretting the time The joy that we shared, it was meant 2 be And not a crime No, it's not a crime If memory serves us, we will align 2 the truth that we most often share Curious child, U are on my mind Do U care? Prince - Curious Child Lyrics | |

I really do think it's about her No one else he dated was that young to be considered a child-right? | |

It could be about any of his myriad virgins. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Virgins But were any as young as Mayte? Anna Garcia was. And I'm sure there are many more we haven't heard about. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I was going to say it's about Anna as well. Also maybe Jill J cuz doesn't she say I have only had one lover since I was 12 years old.....which always creeps me out. But thinking about it again P did say everything on cd 2 was for Mayte. Proverbs 23:9 | |

everything romantic on Emancipation was for Mayte.
even Betcha By Golly Wow was re-made to Mayte, imo. very beautiful, romantic lyrics: Betcha By Golly Wow! There's a spark of magic in your eyes Candyland appears each time U smile Never thought that fairy tales came true But they come true when I'm near U U're a genie in disguise Full of wonder and surprise and... CHORUS: Betcha by golly wow! (wow!) (wow!) U're the one that I've been waiting 4 4ever And ever will my love 4 U keep growing strong Keep growing strong If I could, I'd catch a falling star 2 shine on U so I know where U are Paint a rainbow in your favorite shade 2 show I love U, thinking of U Write your name across the sky Anything U ask, I'll try cuz... (CHORUS) Betcha by golly! U're the one, yes U are! (Don't U let 'em tell U otherwise) And ever will my love 4 U keep growing strong! Baby, sometime A man can't find words 2 express all the things he feels inside But every just so often The words of another who's truly in love seem 2 work out fine 2 say I love U (I love U) 2 say I'm thinking of U! (CHORUS) U're the one I'm thinking of, thinkin' of Ever will my... And ever will my love 4 U keep growing strong Keep growing strong I love U, baby Prince 4Ever. | |

I don't believe it's about Mayte, based on the "a simple ballad 4 an old friend". She's not an old friend, she was a current friend. Old friend would be someone we have no idea about. (Or that chick he talks about in "Schoolyard") | |

I'm hoping there were not other young ladies besides Mayte and Anna | |

I'll bet it was for Mayte', every other song on Emancipation was about her wasn't it. | |

What was the biggest age gap between Prince and his exes? [Edited 5/26/09 14:08pm] I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh | |

This doesn't necessarily follow - at the time Prince was talking a lot about knowing Mayte in another life. Is there anybody else who has slightly mysterious bruises? | |

I happen to be listening to "Emancipation," right now...I actually put it on because I saw this thread.
I thought this would be a good place to give it up for the song, "Style." I love the line, "Style is letting your lover drive while U talk on the phone and chill." This is the song where Prince mentions Mayte by name in the shower. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
