Sarah

O.K. what's the story behind this song?

Sarah Lyrics
Artist: Prince (Buy Prince CDs)
Album: Vault-Old Friends 4 Sale


Hey!

What a night, what a city
Girl, U sho' is lookin' pretty
Tryin' 2 catch a cool one
Checkin' 4 a little fun

Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
Is that U, baby?

Got yo' good shoes on
Ribbon in your hair
That skirt ain't talkin' 2 long
I can see your underwear

Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
I think it's U, baby

Hey!

Girl, I hate 2 be the one
2 tell U that your day is done
U best 2 get your shit and go'n
Or Tina won't be alone
I'd never raise my hand 2 U
No tellin' what my foot'll do
Ah, I'm kiddin' baby, that's a joke
Maybe I just got my heart broke
There's only one thing left 2 do

Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
Is that U?

Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Ow! Ow! ...

Is that U, baby, is that U?
I think it's U

[Good, one more take]

I was listening to this the other day. It's funky fresh!
cool

Seems like he saw her out (in a club maybe) unexpectedly, and basically told her they were through?

Also, could be a reference to the biblical Sarah?

That's an upside down and backwards song like the rest... you can read practically anything into that song....Though I've only read the lyrics....He can add a lot to the words with his voice and music....and that just changes things again.....only he knows....like a rubics cube with no answer.

Prince is a song writer...he can write about anything. I can write a poem out suicide, death, love, broken heart or the love of my life....It doesn't always have to be real.

I'm not saying this song isn't but he could have been working on a song and then heard the name Sarah or someone named Sarah that worked at Paisley Park walked in the room and there it is...nothing to it.

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
