One of my favorite songs from this album, the first 2:10 min, that mellow feel I love, I really don't care for the hard change starting with Love me 2 the (9's) Stay awake 4 14 hours & the rappish parts

It should have ended at the 2:10 mark and then maybe given the rest as a extended version

the lively music is good, but I don't care for the lyrical hard change

Love 2 The 9's

U say that U love me like a river
A river U say’ll never run dry
I'd rather hear U say 4ever
Instead of a smile, I'd rather see U cry
CHORUS:
Don't use that magical, mysterious, intoxicating, joy fantastic
Fascinating word called love unless U love me 2 the 9's
This is the only kind of love that I've been dreaming of
The kind of love that takes over your body, mind, and soul
Love 2 the 9's, baby (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved 2 the 9's (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved, sugar (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved 4 all time (4 all time)

Baby, take a real good look at my face
Cuz honey, it just might be the last time
Maybe U should’ve played an ace
Instead U played the queen
U'd be better off cheatin' than tryin' 2 read my mind

CHORUS

Love me 2 the (9's)
Stay awake 4 14 hours
Listen 2 the band play New Power Soul
We got 2 get with this
Dancing 2 the beat till we lose our mind control
Can I get a witness?
Lookin' 4 a lover with a body that say some mo'
I wanna see the booty boom
Before I even let her get close enough 2 smell perfume
I'm lookin' 4 a Ph.D.
Ass piled high and deep, U see
I can't help it like a honey 2 a bee
If the booty boom she gonna go with me
And then T.’ll whip out a 37 questionnaire
Machine gun a sister like he just don't care
Machine gun a sister like he just got 2, just got 2, just got 2 - hit it!

Name?

Arabia

Age?

Jailbait

Occupation, if any?

Sex symbol 2 many, but I really got a beautiful mind

Fine, fine - what sign U are?

Stop sign

Well, what's your favorite car?

Green Rolls-Royce

How many kids U got?

Egad! I'm shocked!

How many books U read?

Is Hemingway dead?

Well, who's the President now?

Does it matter? Wow!

Then how U gonna make that booty boom?

How I'm gonna make that booty boom?

I say how U gonna make that booty boom?

How I'm gonna make that booty boom?
Step back, give a girl some room (Oh!)

Dance girl – let me see the booty boom! {x8}

Yo, check this out
Would U hug me on a crowded street?
Could U keep your cool if I washed your feet?
And yo' soul a bath?
What if I gave it? Your body I ask
How long would U save it?
Could U lie down on a bed of thorns
While I drink your ocean dry?
And if we said we loved each other
Instead of smilin', would U cry?
Huh, could U kiss 3 times with your dress upside down
Strokin’ and laughin'?
Or would U stay awake 4 14 hours listenin' 2 the grass grow?

I ask thee would U, could U, would U love me 2 the 9's?
(I'll love U 2 the 9's)
Would U, could U, will U love me 4 all time? (I'll love U 4 all time)
Would U, could U, will U love me 2 the 9's? (I'll love U 2 the 9's)

(Love 2 the 9's)
(Love 4 all time)
Wanna be loved, sugar (Love 2 the 9's)
Wanna be loved 4 all time (Love 4 all time)

Yeah, yeah - love me 2 the 9's! (2 the 9's)
Wanna be loved 2 the 9's (2 the 9's)
Hey yeah (4 all time)
2 the 9's, 2 the 9's, 2 the 9's
2 the 9's, 2 the 9's, 2 the 9's, hey yeah

I should give this album another chance, I never got into it apart from "7". I think "My Name Is Prince" is probably his most embarrassing song...
