I haven't heard the song but I read lyrics on this site. It kinda hard. But "beggs" the question...?


BEGGIN' WOMAN (Sam Price - Pleasant Joseph)

I've got a beggin' woman
She keep on beggin' me
She'll even try to beg
A possum out of a tree

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged

She begs in the mornings
She sleeps in the afternoons
She stays up all night
To beg the man in the moon

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged

She'll beg Aunt Penny
And she'll beg Uncle Jake
She'll even beg the sweetness
Out of a ginger cake

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged

She'll beg the plant out of your plantation
Beg New York to a Flag Station
She'll even hang around
To beg the United Nations

You know she's a beggin' woman
And I can see it in her eyes
She's got a handful of gimme
And a mouthful of much obliged

He altered the lyrics a bit on the cd-kinda sounds like he's talking about some personal stuff hmmm and looking @ his former women/wives-one does have a lazy eye hmmm Never heard him say things like this before

i wonder why this is listed on the disc as a new prince song, it's a cover right?

plus it's boring. satisfied is cool on the disc but this song coming right
on it's heals just grinds the disc to a halt imo.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I think it's funny when it comes to singing about someone so superficial. Sadly marriages of convenience exist in the world. Love is priceless. When people adorn themselves with materialism, that is how their time can be excessively wasted. cool

the rules should have followed satisfied
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

Prince can talk all he want but I think he likes those begging, cock-eyed, under-handed women. nod He might be a glutton for punishment disbelief The women he has chosen could very likely be reflections of himself. Come to think of it...

sometimes Prince looks cock-eyed
he played many a girlfriend/wife in an under-handed way
and in his songs he does appear to be on the BEG

tsk tsk no no no! I got my work cut out for me with you Prince
