Name a song that Prince wrote about his life...

Name a song that Prince wrote about his life, or the people in his life. And explain what it is about.

The rules are:

1. It has to be known it is about his life, not speculated.
2. NO traditional Prince.org flaming. Keep the thread about the subject at hand.

I'll go first:

Billy Jack Bitch - About C.J., the StarTribune gossip columnist.
"So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.

Empty Room -- about Susannah leaving Prince

Hello -- about the We Are The World sing-along after the Grammys/AMAs awards show that night, of which Prince didn't attend but gave a song to the project

In This Bed I Scream-Wendy, Lisa and Susanah...I also think Prince mentioned that Thieves in the Temple ss based on a few actual events...I know there's a ton of other songs but that's just two quick ones.
