I think he got over songs about Mayte and WB a while ago.

I think it´s one of the shittiest Prince songs ever....

It´s embarrassing...I always skip it because I don´t want my neighbors associate me with that kind of music, it is that embarrassing.

WTF was he thinking ? Let´s build a timemachine and send P along with this song twenty years back to meet his younger self...wonder what his younger self would say.

The other stuff is kinda good though not flawless.

But Lolita....you know, Jughead, I like Funky Music, 1999 TNM, GCS 2000...that´s how corny it is.

What an embarrassment !Musically, lyrically...just wrong on so many levels.

i don't think it's about anyone in particular
but instead about doing what is right in the face of temptation

Lolita is a chirpy happy song much like Good Love.

I think the Lolita/sweeter/cheater rhyme is pretty cheesy and Prince could have done better.

Of course the name 'Lolita' doesn't have particularly good connotations because of the film of the same name about an obsession with a girl who is underage, though in Prince's song I take it to just mean some girl who is too young for him and is coming on to him, not the reverse.

Apart from all that, I find myself quite enjoying the song.

Maybe Lolita is about Tamar,after all hasn't he known her since her early teens? Just a thought but probably wrong. confused

I don't even think so. I think it was just a generic rock ballad that wasn't written about anyone in particular.

hmph! You can just tell by the emotion in his voice that it must have been written about Mayte. What made me really think so was when he sings about her being his "best friend" They really seemed to be best friends when they were together.

• Did you first think Prince was gay? •

Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.

Prince sings about her "curly hair", and I don't think that he meant pubic hair. So this can't be about mayte.

No! I think Lolita is about Beyounc'e Knowels because she's crazy about Prince and she's younger and sweeter but she will never make a cheater out of him. tonk jerkoff

Yes. But it's not very interesting because he seems totally in control.
So the temptation isn't real. You don't sing lyrics like this if you're really tempted.

I like the music, but because of the lyrics I can't stand the song very much.

I just saw her talking about playing with Prince on the award show. It seemed more like respect than lust.
