I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")

No introduction, "How've U been?"
Just - "Up yours! Smile, that's right, U're a star!" (Star)

Hello
recorded in the Spring of 1985 Hello is essentially a blow by blow description of the evening of the We R the World session:background vocals by Lisa Wendy & Jill Jones

A line of the song had been written for Prince to sing and a space in the studio blocked out for him to stand next to Michael Jackson. But at some point during the course of the evening, he decided not to show up, and instead took a limousine to the restaurant Carlos & Charlie's on Sunset Boulevard with Jill Jones and several bodyguards. (Huntsberry was not present.) While he has never explained the suddenness of his decision not to attend, Prince later said in interviews that he would have felt uncomfortable around so many entertainment luminaries, and that he preferred to work with close friends. This rings true; Prince in any situatio needed to feel in control, something that would have been impossible at a session dominated by his arch rival, Michael Jackson.

Recording of "We Are The World" proceeded without Prince. Across town, as Prince and his entourage exited the Mexican restaurant at about 2 a.m., several paparazzi descended on him. One particular audaciaous photographer jumped into his limousine. Prince and his friends were justifiably frightened and outraged, and the bodyguards reacted by seizing the photographer's camera and forcefully ejecting him from the car. The police were summoned, and one bodyguard - 6ft 9inch, 300 pound Lawrence Gibson- was arrested for battery, and the other, Prince's friend Wally Safford, for robbery.

Seeking damage control, Prince agreed to contribute a song to the We Are The World album. He cut "4 The Tears In Your Eyes" during a rare day off on the Purple Rain tour;

became a total family affair." -(Jill Jones)

Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) {x3}
I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said OK and everything was cool
Till a camera tried 2 get in my bed (Hello)
My bed (Hello) (Hello)

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")
When this man tries 2 get in the car
("Hey Prince, come on, give us a smile, eh?")
No introduction, "How've U been?"

U call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends
I guess I'm used 2 havin' 'em around
And cameras by nature like rewards
That's the trouble I get when I'm Uptown

I'm not afraid 2 die cuz I know there's a better place 2 go
(Don't be afraid cuz there's a better place 2 go)
I eat what I want, whole wheat toast
(U can eat what U want, anything is cool in moderation)
And I'm happy, and that's 4 sure

We're against hungry children, our record stands tall
But there's just as much hunger here at home
We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand
A flower that has water will grow
And a child misunderstood will go
Hello! {x3}
(Hello)

Everybody

Gotta he..., gotta he... he... hello!

I haven't lost my desire
I wouldn't beg U
Instead of playin' deduction of what 2 do
They called me rude often
When I called their hand
They judged me and told me that we're through
"Why can't U be like the others?"
I cried out over and again
"Why can't U learn 2 play by the rules?"
But maybe at last it's the end
Because I am not like others
I'm unique in the respect I'm not U

I know in my heart I would try 2 love U
I wouldn't try 2 hurt U despite all the ways U try 2 hurt me
U call me a fraud, an uncaring wretch
But I'm an artist and my only aim is 2 please
Between U and yours, myself and mine
Isn't life cruel enough without cruel words, cruel words?
U see, words are like shoes
They're just something 2 stand on
I wish U could be in my shoes
But they're probably so high, U'd fall off and die
4 U words are definitely not shoes
They're weapons and tools of destruction
And your time is boring unless U're putting something down
What would life be if we believed what we read
And a smile is just hiding a frown?
Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes?

Yeah she cool-beautiful lady
