She Loves me for me

Who here loves it!!

When i first heard this track it was just a nice small easy cute track on a experimental album. nothing big or super struck out at me

But recently i been just playing this nearly everyday,, maybe its because the mood am in, i never thought Prince as a personal writer, but very rarely i feel that he was personal about the songs he sings, but i feel that he does feel what he sings and it shines through that record.

i love the bridge in the song..

I think this song might b a reflection of Prince's change of partners as well. Reading a M.Jackson bio, I learned that Mayte was a real socialite/party-animal type.

Perhaps, in She Loves Me 4 Me, Prince is revealing how his new love really "dug" him, and not all that glitters.

With this one I can be what I wanna be
I don't have 2 live up 2 no one's fantasy
I could write another 300 melodies
2 her it's just 3, cuz this one, she loves me 4 me


With this one I don't even have 2 comb my hair
I can wear what I want 2 or nothing - she don't care
I don't even have 2 take her on the rollercoaster, see?
Cuz this one, this one, she loves me 4 me

In the morning
When I rise and see her eyes look deep into mine
I find a better place

This one I can tell all my secrets 2
I don't need 2 make her swear she would never tell anywho
Besides I'm the only one she ever really wants 2 see
Cuz this one, honestly, she loves me 4 me

When the night falls
And she calls
I run 2 her side
Cuz she got the ride that I like 2 ride
I like 2 ride it

This one I can take over my momma's house
And I don't have 2 worry what goes in and out her mouth
All she needs is just a little gratuity
She don't like no beef, uh, she just loves me 4 me
She just loves me 4 me
This one, this one, oh, she loves me 4 me


i think that while its showing his love for mani, there is a real dig at mayte and her ways, compared to mani her.

When I bought the album, I listened to it over and over again. I could relate to it, as I was courting my current girlfriend.

Mayte is mentioned in a MICHAEL JACKSON bio ?
Ehh ?

A real highlight on an inconsistent album. Sweet, simple, and very nice.

I love it too. "1 + 1 + 1 is 3" was the first song to catch my ear off this album and "She Loves Me For Me" was the second. I especially love it because it brings back wonderful memories of the whorish activities I was into one night while that song played over and over. lol

Thats the right description that is was the SAFE record from the album. i never ever heard it on Radio here in Uk.. they only play his 80s to 90s stuff really.

I guess its a touching song cos its easy to relate to in relationships., just to find someone to like you with all your faults included is a blessing,
