Someone school me...I love this song topieces but what does it mean? I mean, the forst verse is clear to me but the rest of the words are muddled to me....or maybe I just tuned out the singing and kept partying to the melody

HELLO...myfriend...HELLO....HELLoOooOo

its about the we r the world thing. and the papagoons gettin on his nerves.

Hello Hello Hello Hello

Hello Hello Hello Hello

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said okay and everything was cool
'Til 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
("'Ey Prince, c'mon, give us a smile eh?")
No introduction, "How U been?"
Just "Up yours, smile, that's right, you're a star!" (Star)

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 to die (Don't be afraid)
Oh no, there's a better place ('Cuz there's a better place 2 go)
I eat what I want (U can eat what U want)
Whole wheat toast (Anything is cool in moderation)
And I'm happy, and that's for sure

We're against hungry children
Our record stands tall
There's just as much hunger here at home

We'll do what we can
If y'all try and understand
A flower that has water will grow
And the child misunderstood will go

Hello

Hello

Everybody we're against hungry children
Our record stands tall
There's just as much hunger here at home

We'll do what we can
If y'all try and understand
A flower that has water will grow
And the child misunderstood will go

Our record stands tall, u know
Give us time and love will show

It's Prince's lament about how he got crucified in the press for just donating a song to the We Are The World charity instead of coming over and sing.

Also how they invaded his personal space.

Then he punches himself on the chest; listen to our music; it says it all.

In the extended version (lyrics not included here) he makes a funny joke in the end about his high heels.
Very funny.
