I'm guessing they're about the same chick, but who?

And what's w/ the line "I'm gonna put her on the same diet Missy went on, you know she eat to much"? I heard he was refering to Missy Elliot, but who is he putting on a diet? What girlfriend did Prince have that ate so much he had to put her on a diet?

I used to think he was talking about me.

Now I think any fan could think the same.

Let's say he's talking about his muse, and I'd love to know who he is really thinking to and talking about... Maybe a firlfriend...

I asked myself the same question.

Oh my lord, I bet Prince put every single one of his girlfriends on a diet.

I don't know if both those songs were written for the same woman. I guess it is not impossible. I really like the lyrics in If eye was the man in your life. So romantic.

In regards to the Missy quote, there is one crucial that's left out of the printed lyrics - "you know she eats 2 much TONIGHT".

I think that indicates that Prince is singing about something much, much dirtier than going on a calorie controlled diet. Let your imagination do the rest...

"when I ask you are you hungry, you say you already ate, Come On"

NO NO NO
not so fast buddy boy
u gotta tell u what ur talking about!

Okay, I thought it went....."you know she eats to much, AND I.....guess he wasn't tryin' to hear that....."

I always thought he was talking about Mayte because she was dating Tommy Lee at the time trying her hardest to get that brotha to marry her. But who knows...
Maybe he is talking about Mani's sister who got married. Maybe Gwen Stephani...

But when he says "She's gonna miss me at first... makes me think he is talking to someone that used to date him.

who knows.

I can see the arguement that he might be talking about his fans too though. Which would be pretty sad because i surely would miss him.

Missy.

That Prince. So clever: hiding the answer under our noses.

i thought that line was about carpet munching (guess it's still a missy elliott reference though )

He Can BUTTER MY MUFFIN ANYTIME...He says He's Got The Butter For Ya Muffin..Just Need The KEYS TO The ROOM..What Diet was Missy on? Isn't Missy Lesbian?What are ya talking about Her eating PUSSY?

I'm more confuses now than I was when I started the thread!

In IIWTMIYL, I think it's Angie Stone -- he's talking about how bad D'Angelo was to her.

Les Grinds:

i love your avatar. That's adorable!

Personally, my friend and I came to the conclusion that if he is referring to anyone it would be Mayte. Don't forget the rumor of her messing with Tommy Lee ("plenty lyrics up his sleeve") who is not a Laker fan as P is but a fan of the Sixers (.."but the Sixers on when he came").Hmm, ....
Who knows?!?!?!?

"She's gonna miss U at first..." Prince is saying she'll cry for a bit, but when she gets over it, he's gonna be there waiting for her.

Interesting.....

...and D'Angelo's sound is part of the Philly neo-soul thang, yes? (I know he's from Virginia).

And the Sixers are from...

...it is always so curious 2 B that folks figure songs R about someone that has been linked 2 Prince through media/photos/et.al. there's a whole lot that happens N his world that never makes it 2 the public eye(he pays $ 4 that Bigtyme!)...N that respect, perhaps a song may about an individual & later on~it could B relevant 2 others.... things can get complicated N the realm of royal madnesty

Always great to hear the wisdom you bring. Thanks, sis.

Missy is not Missy Elliot, i hope.

dearlybeloved said:

That's what I thought. It's like a warning to Mayte that Tommy may not be "The Marrying kind". But it also sounds like Prince wants the girl back !? Maybe there's some truth to that, or maybe he just cared about her ?

But the D'Angelo story makes sense too.

chunky said:

absolutely.

leecaldon said:

My imagination says Prince is singing about both. On one hand he'd like her to drop a few pounds on the other hand she's eating someone's BS. Prince sees through the thief in his temple but she doesn't.

I think he is talking about marriage sucks,
she no longer care so eat to much.
