Nobody knows. Some think its about Mani. Some think Tamar. So who knows? As u should know by now, Prince does not reveal the inspiration for songs or lyrics.

How about this....

maybe its not speifically directed towards any particular person in his life or ABOUT anyone in his life. maybe its just something based on all his relationships that he has learned.

just some food for thought...considering every1 always thinks a song is about a particular person in his life....what about the man himself.
Peace, Love, and some Purple Rain!!

At almost 50 years old, I don't think he writes songs like this about real women anymore. This is a throwaway, hastily put together diddy with the name "Guitar" and an awkwardly phrased hook.

I don't think the 2nd vers is about JT. It sounds like he's upset with a girl...not a guy. Whenever he has written about guys in the past, he doesn't refer to them as "baby". Example...Dream Factory, Hello, etc.

eye got that call so eye jumped in my car
eye love u baby, but not like eye love my guitar
not like I love my guitar
u couldn't do it all by urself
u had 2 go and get somebody else
u'r high enough 2 call but cha can't reach the bar
eye love ya baby, but not like eye love my guitar
not like eye love my guitar
eye tried 2 warn ya that it's hard 2 be a star
especially when u'r drivin other people's cars
eye would've given ya mine, but u took it 2 far
eye love ya baby, but not like eye love my guitar
eye no u love me, u wanna b friends
and if u don't at least u need 2 pretend
we're still 2gether even if we don't get that far
eye love u baby, but not like eye love my guitar

listen

eye love u baby, and eye wish u well
eye'll write a letter when eye learn how 2 spell
eye no we planned a trip but then eye fell
n love with something else....

u no the rest

u no eye love u baby,
eye love u baby, but not like eye love my guitar
oh, like eye love my guitar

Can't the man write a song without it being about somebody.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Thats true..... my twocents
Many die hard fans [like me] who analize lyric....
Notice that alot of songs he wrote coraspond to events he was having at the time.
Prince keeps his personal life out of the public
But not in his music

We don't give a damn
We just want to jam
Party up (Party up, got to party up)
That Army bag
Such a double drag
Party up (Party up, got to, got to, got to party up)
(Party) Got to party down, baby
Revolutionary rock and roll
Goin' Uptown, baby,
How you gonna make me kill somebody
I don't even know?
They got the draft, uh, uh
I just laugh
Party up (Party up, got to party up)
Fightin' war is such a fuckin' bore
Party up (Party up, got to, got to, got to party up)

(Party) Uh, uh, got to party down, babe
Ooh, it's all about what's in your mind
Goin' Uptown, baby,
I don't wanna die I just wanna have a bloody good time
Party up
Got to party up
Party up
Got to party up
Because of their half-baked mistakes
We get ice cream
No cake
All lies
No truth
Is it fair to kill the youth?
Party up
Party up
Got to party up yeah
Got to party up babe, ooh
Got to party up yeah
Got to party up babe, ooh
Got to party up yeah
Oooh ooh
Got to party up babe, ooh
Got to party up yeah
Got to party up babe, whoo
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
(Party up - gotta party up)
Party up - Got to party up baby {repeated}

Revolutionary Rock and Roll

Party up - gotta party up
Party up - gotta party up
Party up - gotta party up
Party up - gotta party up
Party up - gotta party up
Party up - gotta party up, babe
Party up - gotta party up {continues in background}
you're gonna have to fight your own damn war
Cuz we don't wanna fight no more

you're gonna have to fight your own damn war
Cuz we don't wanna fight no more

you're gonna have to fight your own damn war
Cuz we don't wanna fight no more

you're gonna have to fight your own damn war
Cuz we don't wanna fight no more
I said we don't wanna fight no more (gonna have to fight your own damn war)
Cuz we don't wanna FIGHT NO MORE!
