Do Yourself A Favor

Do Yourself A Favor - I really love this song. I've been listening to it alot lately. Orignally a song by Pepe Willie tittled "If You See Me". I like listening to it. It has a nice up tempo beat that you can dance to. I dig the concept in the song how Prince talks about his ex-girlfriend or whatever telling her "So if U see me, walk on by, baby Don't say nothin." I thought that was cool. Prince going in a different direction with song. This song is pretty long and it's good all the way through.

Anybody heard and or like Do Yourself A Favor
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

It's sort of hard to listen to songs of any artist when they sound sad. P lately seems sad.

Te amo sounds like he was sad ( sorta like me) and didn't know exactly what to say, like he had lost his beaings.

One of his best covers ever IMO! It's really too bad that during the time it was recorded,Prince wasn't comfortable releasing songs written by others.It's a great tune that I think would have charted pretty well as a single.

Lately? Do Yourself A Favor is from 1982. This song is more happy up tempo song than a sad song.
