There are lyrics from other songs that could've easily come from Prince's mouth. For instance, in the song PLAIN GOLD RING (as song by Nina Simone), Nina S. sings:

"I can't stop these teardrops of mine,
so I'm going to love him `til the end of time."


Prince would have eventually thought of this (though changing the HIM to HER). Even though it's not the most extraordinary lyric, coming from a singer like NINA S (or Prince) it is! Well, I can see Prince even saying this line in his everyday/off-stage life. I can see him using it to explain why he can't get over some girl. This line could've easily been Prince's.

Hmm , alot of Time songs could have been spoken or written by Prince , come to think of it , they were.

George Michael's FAITH album...The whole thing could have easily been written by Prince...And I love that album.

I was thumbing through the dictionary and I noticed a lot of words used by Prince!

Prototype- Outkast. Actually, most stuff by Outkast.

1,

I remember when you filled my heart with joy
was I blind to the truth just there to fill the space
'cause now you have no interest in anything i have to say
and I allowed you to make me feel . . . (I feel so) dumb
What kind of fool am I that you so easily could set me aside

Me'Shell Ndegeocello, "Fool of Me"

2.

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here I've got to be me

You'll never be in doubt
That's what it's all about
You can't take me for granted and smile
Count the days I'm gone
Forget reaching me by phone
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now
You got to get it straight
How could I ever be late
When you're my woman takin' up my time

How could you ever allow
I guess I wonder how
How could you get out of pocket for fun
When you know that you're never number two
Number one gonna be number one

I'll be good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now
When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person you really are now

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now
I'll be so good
I wish I could
Get the message over to you now

Sly and the Family Stone, "If You Want Me To Stay"

how bout " even better than the real thing" by u2, prince would have had a different tune but the chorous sounds like a prince thought.

"if im not made 4 u then y does my heart tell me that i am"?

Yes, i can so hear him singing this.

LittleLamb said:

"There's something about the way you move

I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing.

Its better than something that someone contrived.

Your movements echo that I have seen the real thing"

Oh, here are more lyrics that could've easily belonged to Prince:


"...Our love affair is just history
Well it's all over baby
It's over baby
I can't stand it cos I'm lonely, lonely,
lonely too long now
It's over baby
I can't help it
cos I'm just crying inside
I'm just crying inside
oh baby oh baby don't you feel me moving?
oh baby oh baby don't you hear me crying?
but I call, I call out to you
I say now I know I hurt you, you hurt me too now"


This is from FLOWER IN THE SUN (by Janis Joplin/Big brother & the holding company). This is so Prince. This song rocks by the way!

Lyrics: I'm not a girl, Not yet a woman
I used to think
I had the answers to everything
But now I know
Life doesn't always
Go my way, yeah...

Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize...

(Chorus)
I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between

(Verse 2)
I'm not a girl
There is no need to protect me
Its time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I've seen so much more than u know now
So tell me to shut my eyes

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between

I'm not a girl
But if u look at me closely
You will see it my eyes
This girl will always find
Her way

I'm not a girl
(I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe)
Not Yet a woman
(I'm just tryin to find the woman in me, yeah)
All I need is time (All I need)
A moment that is mine (That is mine)
While I'm in between

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time (is All I need)
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman

Put it in your mouth
I'l gag you before you shout

sos, that wasn't even necessary.

No doubt about it - "Spread" on The Love Below album (Andre 3000) is Andre trying to do an old skool Prince sex song.

I... I can't read minds, but I can read yours
I think she says that she wants to pour your..
your... yourself all over me
What you think? I could be wrong, but pupils don't lie
And if they do, by God, they must fry! (fry?!)
You know, like electric chair
The way you stare (yeah I'm there)
You committed a crime and I'm the victim

And the way he sings "fry! (fry?!)/ You know, like electric chair", I swear, it's almost identical to the "camille" voice Prince used to use.

The whole song - Damn, I wish I was your Lover - by Sophie B Hawkins

Great song, too.

"Put ur mouth on me" Eddie murphy.....though I think it sounds more like a Morris day song!

Check the screams eddie makes on this song!

HE SHOULD HAVE MADE THE ROBERT PALMER CLASSIC 'ADDICTED 2 LOVE' !!!!


Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

TAKE ME HIGHER

Sometimes I feel like fading
Sometimes my soul seems 2 give up all the fights
So cold, it’s raining
And I just can’t find what’s messin’ with my mind

And I’m falling, I’m calling an angel
I’m putting all my faith on her wings
And I know she’s listening 2 my prayers
2 help me from falling down on my knees
And if it’s dark I’ll look 4 her light
And if I go blind her smile will guide me
As a little bit of me dies inside
I will be counting each one of my sins

Take me higher
Take me 2 a place where I can feel safe
Take me higher
Traveling through the space
Take me higher
Take me away from all this hate
Through the fire
A place where a spirit can play

Sometimes I get scared
Sometimes I can’t differentiate wrong from right
I did wrong and I’m paying
I’ve been mistaken love for my pride

Walking on a wire between heaven and hell
That’s not the road I intended 2 walk upon
I’ve been looking 4 salvation around the corner
But all that glitters ain't really gold
She’s pure, I’ve been calling her name
Until she come dressed with diamonds and pearls
That’s when my spirit will finally rest
That’s when she’ll show me the way back home

Take me higher
Take me 2 a place where I can feel safe
Take me higher
Traveling through the space
Take me higher
Take me away from all this hate
Through the fire
Lead me 2 a place where a spirit can play

And when I close my eyes, she takes me 2 paradise
And when I look 4 her, I always find her by my side
As I say my prayers, I know she’s always listening
She knows I’m just a man looking 4 forgiveness

Higher...set my soul free

Sometimes I feel like flying
Sometimes heaven seems 2 be two steps ahead
I heard an angel crying
Tears of joy 4 bringing another soul back...from the dark

...that it happens 2 be mine

I SO AGREE. It's like he is so obsessed with prince that he wanted to latch on to Prince's personality, too. BUT NO ONE can imitate prince's personality...no matter how hard you try. SORRY andre3000. but i appreciate the effort.
