What Does It Take For Prince To Feel Loved & Accepted?

Quote from Gigi319:

"Nobody seems to love poor Princey the way he needs to be loved.

He is loved by so many people, but I don't think he ever really felt loved and accepted."

In this song is the kind of love he's yearning for, but what does it mean? It's deep...


U say that u love me like river
A river u say'll never run dry
I'd rather hear u say 4 ever
Instead of a smile I'd rather see u cry
Don't use the magical
Mysterious, intoxicating, joy fantastic
Fascinating word called love
Unless u love me 2 the 9's
This is the only kind of love
That I've been dreaming of
The kind of love that takes over your
Body, mind, and soul
Love 2 the 9's
Baby, (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved 2 the 9's (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved, sugar (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved 4 all time (4 all time)

Baby, take a real good look at my face
Cuz honey, it just might be the last time
Maybe u should have played an ace
Instead u played the queen
U'd be better off cheatin' than tryin'
2 read my mind

Don't use the magical
Mysterious, intoxicating, joy fantastic
Fascinating word called love
Unless u love me 2 the 9's
This is the only kind of love
That I've been dreaming of
The kind of love that takes over your
Body, mind, and soul
Love 2 the 9's
Baby, (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved 2 the 9's (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved, sugar (2 the 9's)
I wanna be loved 4 all time (4 all time)

Love me 2 the (9's)

Stay awake 4 4teen hours
Listen 2 the band play New Power Soul
We got 2 get with this
Dancing 2 the beat 'til we lose our mind control

Can I get a witness?
I'm lookin' 4 a lover with a body that says some mo'
I want 2 see the booty boom before I even let
Her get close enough 2 smell perfume
I'm lookin' 4 a PhD
Ass piled high and deep u see
I can't help it - like a honey 2 a bee -
If the booty boom she gonna go with me
And then T. will whip out a 37 questionnaire and
Machine gun a sister like he just don't care
Machine gun a sister like he just got 2
Just got 2, just got 2 - hit it

Name - "Arabia"
Age - "Jailbait"
Occupation, if any - "Sex symbol to many, but I really got a beautiful mind"
Fine, Fine. What sign u are - "Stop sign"
Well, what's your favorite car - "Green Rolls-Royce"
How many kids u got - "Egads, I'm shocked!"
How many books u read - "Is Hemmingway dead?"
Well who's the President now - "Does it matter? Wow"
Then how u gonna make that booty boom?
"How I'm gonna make that booty boom?"
I say how u gonna make that booty boom
"How I'm gonna make that booty boom..."
"Step back, give a girl some room"

Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom
Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom
Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom
Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom
Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom
Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom
Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom
Dance girl - lemme see the booty boom

Yo, check this out
Would u hug me on a crowded street?
Could u keep your cool if I washed your feet?
U soul a bath
What if I gave it, your body I ask
How long would u save it?
Could u lie down on a bed of thorns
While I drink your ocean dry?
And if we said we loved each other
Instead of smilin', would u cry?
Could u kiss 3 times with your dress upside
Downstroked and laughin'
Would u stay awake 4 4teen hours
Listenin' 2 the grass grow?
I ask thee would u, could u,
Would u love me 2 the 9's (I'll love u 2 the 9's)
Would u, could u,
Will u love me for all time? (I'll love u 4 all time)
Would u, could u,
Will u love me 2 the 9's (I'll love u 2 the 9's)

(love 2 the 9's)
(love 4 all time)
Wanna be loved, sugar (love 2 the 9's)
Wann be loved 4 all time (love 4 all time)

love me 2 the 9's (2 the 9's)

I wanna be loved 2 the 9's (2 the 9's)
4 all time

2 the 9's, 2 the 9's, 2 the 9's
2 the 9's, 2 the 9's, 2 the 9's

I'm not sure Prince knows what Real love is, or would trust it if he ever saw it. Think about it where has he ever felt LASTING Love? He was out on the street when he was 12 years old. you ever seen him sing Septimo? That man will break your heart. You've got be able to give love to receive it, I don't think he trusts anybody and Probably doesn't give love a chance sad

hes been loved as everyone has. "accepted" is something he doesnt need.

not all of us need to be accepted.

accepted by who????

looking for acceptance is wussy behaviour and prince is not that way.

I don't think it's very strange that it's hard for Prince to find love, as being a rich celeb. It's only natural that he find it hard to trust people, and also have to be aware about peoples intentions. I'm sure there are many golddiggers out there...

Just can't understand why people are complaining so much about his lovelife and that he can't keep a woman...how many "Hollywood-marriages" lasts? Being married for 5 years is almost worth a medallion when you're famous smile

We all feel as we "know" Prince (because of his music) but I bet if we got any real insight in his life and what it's really like, we would probably become very quiet..wink I don't think we have a clue...

Fortunately for me, thanks to the power of the internet, I finally did get to see that and you're right, it broke my heart! His performance was so moving, I was in tears!

Prince doesn't need love or acceptance from anybody to be happy. He understands and knows that he IS love. The man has so much self-love that I believe he has : Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) . I think the only person he loves and will ever love is himself.

Well, hell if you looked like he does you'd be NPD too giggle But seriously, I think he knows that he is loved and that he does know how to love regardless of all the things that he has been through.

I think Prince is pretty cool with things if not everyone in the whole world accepts him. He knows that controversy follows him everywhere and he's cool with that. For him to feel loved/accepted, all that needs to happen is he goes onstage, does what he does and has a crowd that will cheer for him and make him feel even more at home on the stage.

I'm not going to dive into his love life at the current time, though. That discussion, I can wait on for a little while.

As for me, I do pretty much all can to let him know that I "love" and accept him although he may never know me or my actions personally.
I buy his albums and he gets my cash.
I come here every day or whenever I can and post on his behalf, speak about how he's changed me and how much his music has meant to me and also that he does a wonderful job doing what he does.
And when I don't agree with something he does, I look more into the matter and accept his actions.

This is for you, Prince. comfort hug
I love you and accept you for who you are.
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

Prince deserves a hug for, "Love me 2 the 9's" which I can barely do, however I did drive today...that's progress..and my typing is faster. But I could'nt make a very good hug these days, however, when he sings, "you don't have to be beautiful..." can you be a gauze person? cool

My opinion of course: he needs a real woman already!

Any volunteers? (after me that is)

Borrowed this from Gigi319's thread again!

Brendan said:

And this type of person no doubt goes through periods in their life where they’d rather not be surrounded by people who are questioning them.

And as much as I’m the complete antithesis of a “yes man”, and as much as I believe that this can be very self destructive, I can understand needing this peace at times.

Just look at the threads on this site everyday filled with people willing to give Prince free advice. And the advice is totally conflicting and all over the map.

You’ve got to ultimately be happy with yourself. That’s how you’ll make it in this world; not by pleasing people who are mostly just looking to be pleased by you (and everybody else in their life).

People -- yes, and definitely including me, get it twisted all the time.

Just because one is being honest, doesn’t make it right.

The honesty is very much appreciated, but the truth remains a far more challenging nut to crack.

Like he sings in “Future Baby Mama”, you’ve got to find a woman who has a “strong foundation that lasts forever more”.

He’s not talking about superior makeup. He’s talking about a woman with a supportive backbone that loves both you and herself unconditionally.

You simply can’t experience this fully with a pliable person that believes disagreement is as negative.

Because you’ll never know for sure if that embrace is genuine if it doesn’t come wrapped in turmoil.

Love yourself first, and the rest, even though it won’t all be as pretty and agreeable as we might all think we want, will naturally fall into place.

Am I the only one that can sense insecurity in Prince? I mean why can't he be natural, you know with the hair and the makeup and the 3 inch heels, those things say something. Don't get me wrong he's a beautiful man, I've seen what a good looking child he was but a lot of shyness comes from past and present insecurities.

Come to think of it, I'm sure he does have insecurities. We have all 'em. He gets over those insecurities by writing songs about 'em and finding that strength within himself to conquer them. And I think he prefers it that way. He'd rather people see the stronger side of him than his insecurities.

You're not the only one who thinks Prince is insecure. He hides behind a mask (make-up, sunglasses, women, bodyguards etc.) He's always put together perfectly when in public. It's almost like he's scared to loose control, or to let his guard down. He makes sure nobody sees his imperfections. His behavior looks perfectly staged for the most part. When he performs in front of a crowd, doing what he knows best, he seems more relaxed and at peace.
love the one who is Love!
