She's Just A Baby - An ode 2 weird old dudes?

love this song 2 bits. now discuss

She's Just A Baby

She's just a baby, a baby
But she's my lady
My lover, my only friend

She's just a baby
But maybe she'll understand
That I am made of a true love
That will never end (Hey, hey)

People don't understand what she sees in an older man
They never stop 2 think that maybe I'm what she's lookin' 4
They never take the time 2 look into her mind
They just keep on sayin' she's just a baby
But maybe one day they will see
She's not such a baby, no baby is she
She's just in love with me

She's just a baby, a baby
But she's my lady
I know there are some things she'll never see

She's just a baby
But maybe one day she'll see
Although she's young
She's the only one that can bring out the man in me
Can't U see? Yeah

People don't understand what she sees in this lonely man
Don't they know that everybody needs somebody sometime? Oh
I give her all I can
But the people don't give a damn
They just keep on sayin' that she's just a baby
But maybe one day they will see
She's not such a baby, no baby is she
She's just in love with me
Oh no, no, no, yeah
Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
...And i'm gonna be groovy in it!

I heart this song! LOL - don't think it's an ode to weird old dudes, it's just a song about a man who has a loving relationship with a much younger woman. smile
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

mmm hmmm. nod the pedophiles anthem of looooove, baby.

just wait until the singer of this song has himself a daughter, a 16 year old innocent who is the target of sexual advances from an older man who 'appreciates her mind'. blechhhh

sorry but this aspect of prince truly grosses me out

it's a demo, circa 1981...it might've been inspired by p's girlfriend at the time, susan moonsie, who was younger than him.

The only thing that bothers me about this song is that it sounds like they slowed it down too much. Prince's voice sounds weird.
