Actually, you are mistaken. This was not done anywhere near the Purple Rain era...recorded in 1991, actually. Nice little ditty, in its own right.

Player

So there U are
About time U showed up
Yeah, I know what U heard
But let me talk

Baby, take a look outside your window
And see your future standing there
I've been here 4 a while now, baby
Or maybe U weren't aware
I knew that U heard every single story
About all the friends that I've got
But baby, if U give me 7 years of your time
All the friends I would have not

CHORUS:
Player - If I had U girl, I wouldn't be one
Player - If U'd let me in the mix, we could have fun
Player - If life was a movie, U'd have the main part
Girl, U're number one with a bullet on my charts

Don't make me say I need U like a beggar-man
Why don't U let me come inside?
I'm the type of male that a girl like U is in need of
Sho' U right
I could take U sailing in a glass bottom boat
U could drink wine while I read poems that I wrote

I'm sick of fishing in the big sea, baby
I wanna check out the settling down
I wanna dock my boat in your fairway
In your kisses I wanna drown {x3}

CHORUS

If I had U girl, I wouldn't be one

Friends, whatever they told U, they lied
My life's an open book, I ain't got nothing 2 hide
I need U like a beggar, yeah, I got no pride
Open your heart, let me come inside

CHORUS

Baby, take a look outside your window
And see your future standing there
I've been here 4 a while now, baby
Or maybe U wouldn't care
I knew that U heard every single story
About all the friends that I've got
But baby, if U give me 7 years of your time
All the friends I will have not

Player - If I had U girl, I wouldn't be one
Player - If U'd let me in the mix, we could have fun
Player - If life was a movie, U'd have the main part
Cuz girl, U're number one with a bullet on my charts

Player {x3}

So that's my day in court

THANK U for setting me straight...I've already editted the post.

I had nothing to base it on other than what I was told by someone else.

thanks for the info and the lyrics
