Question about a lyric in "Wasted Kisses"

I've been trying to make sense of the line that goes "in front of your (gut tell another)...why should I care"

Can anybody explain this line?

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

No, No, No
Its "in front of your incestural brother"

I always wondered that too. Great song. For me, that blew every other song away on NPS.

That doesn't make any sense though?
Becuase Isn't Prince singing this song to his sister?
And since he has no other brothers, his incestural brother would be himself?

Thus, he would litterly be saying "If I played with my little man in front of myself, why should I care?"

Of course, maybe he meant brother in a general figurative sense?

I agree, The One and Wasted Kisses could (and likely should) have been on a "Prince/O+>" album and not buried on NPS.
The One's video is exquisite...
