Don't go chasing waterfalls

I am convinced Prince wrote TLC's Waterfalls. No reason really. Anyone care to prove me right? Prove me wrong and burst my bubble if you must.

When I first heard that song I was told 2 that P had written that song but found out later it was someone else. Sorry! It defiantly sounds like something P would write. sad

I can't even imagine where this rumour came from, only that I know it's been around years and years.

It wasnt Prince, but the whole album definately has a Prince vide going through it... Even a pretty good cover of IIWYG...

Even the name of the album, CrazySexyCool kind of has a Lovesexy kind of thing that.... er... similar.... structurly....you know... words joined.... type thingy....

I might be reading it wrong but the library of congress says Nothing Compares 2 U is by Sinead O'Conner.

I haven't checked, but I doubt it does since it was originally released in 1985, and from memory, I'm sure it was the only song on the Family LP to be openly credited to Prince.
