A ? for the Fellas [NO LADYFOLK ALLOWED] I'm sure we're all familar (vaugely if nothing else) with Prince's Planet Earth...
My question is: Do you think the lyrics to "Future Baby Mama" accurately represent a.) what a man looks for in a women and a potential mother? and b.)what a women should know to "keep her man"? please try to refrain from discussion of the music of this song or others on the album as i am specifically citing the lyrics and sentiments expressed...and do keep in mind, we all know no one song can accurately represent a whole gender in it's entirety ...simply put, is prince "far off"? ===== • Future Baby Mama • | by Prince (Verse 1 
I've heard it said my love was look-a-like But could it be that I was lookin' 4 U? They were cool but somethin' wasn't right They had me fooled 4 a minute and then I saw the truth (Chorus:) None of them got what it takes, 2 b a future baby mama Gotta bend in the wind but don't break, 2 keep yo man Show me one of them and i'll make her mine with no more drama Future baby mama.... (Verse 2
I've heard it said that I won't treat U right But they ain't sure cuz I don't know nothin' about U U're 2 secure 2 eva wanna fuss and fight Tha's Y yo man neva eva got a reason 2 doubt U (Chorus) (Bridge:) Yeah I know U might b fine, but I've seen it all b 4, Cinderella was a waste of time, then oops she's out the door 2 build a house together, the thing that matters most, Is under the floor, a strong foundation that lasts forever more | |

bend in the wind but don't break, 2 keep yo man
That pretty much goes for everyone, not just women... U're 2 secure 2 eva wanna fuss and fight Tha's Y yo man neva eva got a reason 2 doubt U It's a person's own insecurities that lead to doubt, not the other way around...you could be the most secure person on the planet but it won't cause your partner lose whatever insecurities they may have. That's a personal and internal thing. the thing that matters most...a strong foundation Yeah, but that goes without saying...and again, it's not a gender-related issue. | |

Mine this song for romantic/chivalrous standards, and you'll find it sorely lacking.
Don't think this song has the requisite depth for such an analysis. But, I dislike the song. So, I'm biased. | |

"Bend in the wind?" Well, we all know about men and their "wind!" Especially vegetarians!
"2 Secure 2 ever fuss & fight?" I think secure women are pretty big ball busters, personally. My Legacy
