Prince's lyrical skills (five women) take the song 'five women':
It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind It took 5 months, a plenty good wasted time But it just took 5 minutes when i saw your face again 2 fall in love all over, i guess with u i'll never win what an opener !!!! March was a cold one in more ways than one Went down 2 the nightclub lookin' 4 the sun Lookin' 4 a light that could brighten up a day That's been darker than a hole since u went away April usually brings showers This time it was a hurtin' kind This woman said she wanted my baby I told her i'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind 2 fall in love with someone that i barely knew The baby would never really have a father Cuz i still, cuz i still, cuz i still, still, still, huh Be stuck on u this is soul..! It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind Get off my mind, baby Fallin' in love all over... u i'll never win May was her name, she was jumpin' Jumpin' from plane 2 plane Actress or model or somethin' Can't even remember her first name prince, you be so mean.. June brought an easter bunny Needless 2 say, hmph, that girl was late Told a made-up story 2 a busy-body of our only date What a sketch! July was a heartbreak, extraordinary Said i met this woman whose kiss was somethin' scary It felt so much, so much like yours But it only made me, made me want u more She's gone, she's gone but u're still here I want u very..., huh, it's u i fear But it took 5 women 2 get u off my mind It took 5 months, 5 months, a plenty good wasted time But it just took 5 minutes and i saw your face again I fell in love all over with u, i guess i'll never win(i'll never win)[/color] i'd say this is prince in a nutshell. funny, witty, sad, moving, sexy, poetic other lyrics you dig, and why???

I love this song and i love those lyrics.  When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

This is the song that did it to me. STILL WAITING. You see, the song may not be colorful or full of metaphors but as a 13-14 year old, it tore me apart. I swear I was not a drama queen but this song said everything that I wanted to say at that time in my life.
All my friends tell me About the loves they've had Can't they see what they're doing to me? It makes me feel so bad 'Cause I'm so alone And brokenhearted It ain't like my life is ended But more like it never started The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating I try so hard but don't you know, my patience is fading away Still waiting I'm waiting for that love Still waiting I wish on every star above Still waiting Waiting for the love to come around Oh, love. Waiting for the love to come around People say that I'm too young Too young to fall in love But they don't know, they really don't know That's all that I've been dreaming of 'Cause I spend my nights just a-crying And I spend my days just a-trying To find that love to call my own 'Cause I'm sick and tired of being alone Still waiting Waiting for that love Still waiting I wish on every star above Still waiting I'm waiting for the love to come around. (Waiting for the love) Don't you know that I'm waiting (Waiting for the love) Say.. (Waiting for the love) To come around now I need somebody to hold on to baby Waiting and waiting, don't you know that I'm Still waiting I'm waiting for the love, sugar Still waiting If you're out there girl, please come to me Still waiting Don't make me cry no more Still waiting If you're out there, baby, please come to me Still waiting Wishing and wishing for days, baby Still waiting If you're out there, girl, please come to me Still waiting Miguel  MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop!

both excellent songs. i also vividly remember "still waiting" on the radio and the feeling it gave me. It was as if Prince read my mind. It's such a open emotional song for a man to sing. Part of what marked Prince as someone special. Prince is a great lyricst. Just one of the skills that make him the most completely realized performer ever. He really has know peers. | |

5 women is one of my all time favourites!! I remember when I bought the album The Vault, when I got to this song, I kept listening to it over and over again and it took me few days to get to the rest of the songs on the album. I just love it. Not just the lyrics, but the instruments - it´s a MASTERPIECE!!! "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

damn! I feel dumb, I just realized, when you mentioned it, that he WAS a teenager when he wrote this. Maybe that's why I could relate to it.
