Love this song...his version, not so much Chaka's version.

Little darlin', gotta go now...

Is he speaking of leaving or dying?...touching either way.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

i agree i like his more than chaka's and i still wish he released his version of journey 2 the center of ur heart instead of giving it 2 chaka and kept feelgood beat and song 4 himself

but the song is about leaving and the way it was supposed 2 b in the movie I'll do anything it makes sense as it was tracy ullman's character that was 2 sing the song in the movie

Oh, I'm glad everyone agrees about this song. I didn't know Chaka had done it, was it really successful? I'm sure it would have been a big hit for him, if he'd released it? Yes, from a mother to a daughter.... so moving and sad, really got to me!

Little darling
Gotta go now
Don't know when I'll be coming back
Got my future
All planned out
Got my bags packed
Things don't always turn out right
That's just the way it goes
Before I leave u there's just a few things u should know

Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember god he made u
And one day he'll make everything alright
Don't cross on yellow
U always got to wait 4 a green light
Remember god he made u
One day he'll make everything alright

Alright

Little darling
Gotta go now
Don't worry u'll be just fine
When it comes 2 good luck
I just know, I just know u'll always be the first in line
Nobody'll ever love u as much as I do
That doesn't mean other people won't love u 2
Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget 2 say your prayers at night
Remember god he made u
And one day he'll make everything alright
Don't cross on yellow
U always got to wait 4 a green light
Remember god he made u
And one day he'll make things alright

Alright
Make everything alright
Alright

Little darling
Gotta go now
Got my future all planned out
Before I go
Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember god he made u
One day he'll make everything alright

It's sad but beautiful at the same time
mushy
