PrintableDoes it necessarily have to be about her? I mean, I just took it as him naming females like he does in a lot of his songs i.e. Darling Nikki, Vannesa Bet from Get Off etc... One of Dansa's org hornies

This is from an issue of Uptown Magazine
"Lisa" was copyrighted at ASCAP in August of 1980 so it is safe to assume that it was recorded some time in 1980. Prince's tour with Rick James ended in late April, so "Lisa" can probably be dated to May-July 1980. The song was probably written tongue-in-cheek about new band member Lisa Coleman. In some ways, the song is a forerunner to some of the later 1999 material, with its fast, repetitive bass and simple analogue drum machine beat (at least a year before the digital LM-1 Linn drum machine appeared). The lyrics, stating how Prince knows Lisa is nasty and that she is "too groovy," would have fit in perfectly with the concept of the Dirty Mind album. As a twist on the unfaithful lover theme, in this song Prince says to Lisa, "Tell your man, he'll understand." So here, Prince is the other man taking away, at least for awhile, someone else's girl. Prince's laid-back "Uptown attitude" is evident as he sings, "I don't care, as long as you know that somewhere, some day, we'll be together." I fully believed that the song is about Lisa Colenman, but Prince never officially admitted. I guess yall be the judge. | |

I heard that one too and I am serious. Someone did say that Prince got Lisa pregnant but what I heard differently was Lisa had abortion. Also I heard another rumour that Lisa used to be the rebel chick and used to throw house parties at her parents house. and finally that Lisa also did it with Andre, and some other band members. I wondered was Prince really revealing Lisa's true colors back then when he wrote that 'Lisa' song as he referred her as being nasty? 
I don't know what too believed, but I am not going to say the rumours are false or true. I am so undecided. Like I said quiet and lurkers back then like me read a lot of fasnating shit about Prince and his associates. Well, I know Andre personally and "fairly" well and I can say that he and Lisa were, ah,..close at a short period of time. Little bits of pieces of shit that I've been hip to over the years are piecing together. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I also read some interesting things about him as well, and that he messed around with Vanity. I am not suprised there was something went on between Lisa and Andre for a bit. I also believed the rumors about Lisa were true. Andre is so fine and even bi person like Lisa couldn't resisted him.
I always wondered what happened to Andre and why isn't he producing anymore. | |

that is news to me Lisa wasn't the only one. And Prince always said if people want to know him or his feelings is to listen to his songs. With Andre and PRince, I don't know about the other bandmates, the Dirty Mind band surely had some sexual bandmates. | |
