"Be My Mirror"

This is deffintely one of the best Prince songs that I have ever heard ! I can not believe that he scrapped it and never shared with the world ! If ya don't know it U R missin' out on a master piece !

dove Be my mirror, be like me
Easier than ABC
Everything I hope 2 be
U can be that and more U see


If my hand goes 2 the left, yours goes 2 the right
What U see is what U get, just keep me in your sight
U see how much U're just like me when we play this game
If U play correct my dear, we will be the same


Be my mirror, be like me
Easier than ABC
Everything I hope 2 be
U can be that and more U see


Ever since good fortune brought U into this world
I knew that U were a special, a special little girl
When the rest of us get stuck because of things we do not know
My special little girl is already a hundred paces down the road


Be my mirror, be like me
Easier than ABC
Everything I hope 2 be
I can be that and more U see
I can be that and more U see dove
peace PEACE.....It does not mean 2 be in a place where there is no noise,trouble,or hardwork.It means 2 be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart ! heart

I like that one, too. I wouldn't rank it as "one of the best" - but it's a good song nevertheless.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

How did u get the lryics if he didn't share it? Just a confusing thread title. He must have shared it somehow or u wouldn't have the lyrics. Is there an album with that song on it?

u people must be smoking that purple rock again.
this song sucks!
he sounds like a sissy on that chorus.
definitely one of his corniest tracks ever.
it's no wonder why it didn't end up on The Vault.
he probably relalized it too.

I just listened to it for the first time.
It's sweet mushy
though it didn't sound quite like a Prince song lol until I noticed his falsetto towards the end.

Makes me wonder when he wrote it. Either it was from 1992-96 or was fairly recent (which explains the simplistic lyrics).
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

this song was originally supposed 2 b in the "i'll do anything" movie with nick nolte. the original idea was 4 a bunch of songwriters 2 contribute 2 the movie with it being a musical themed story. when test audiences dogged it, all the songs were removed. if u ever c the movie, u'll c a nick nolte speaking 2 his daughter in a bedroom and there is a full length mirror behind them. this is where the song would have fit. there is a version of nick nolte singing this song but i wouldn't recommend hearing it.

but this song is golden and fits in the context of a someone coaching a child in acting.
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'm so glad he never released this song. It's truly awful. It sounds to me like it belongs on some childrens CD.

There are only a handful of songs of prince's I don't like but this and Hold Me are his worst and I hope he never releases even of them.
