Prince's "Love" song.

I've been listening to Prince's song called "Love" from his 3121 album.. I think it's an amazing song. The beat is awesome.

I'm going to be dancing to this song on stage in a few weeks. And I was wondering if anyone had an idea about the theme or story line of the song.. Well, obviously it's about "love" itself. But do you guys think there's a more deeper meaning to any of this?
I love Prince, sue me!

"Love," Prince says is whatever U want it 2 be.

I Love the idea of Love 4 the world and the concept of everyone having what they need.
Ultimately a roof over your head with someone that will love U 4 Life, with GOD uniting the two of U...is the greatest blessing.

I love "Still A Thrill" but they don't really sound the same.

Well, i don't know what u r referring to since ur taking Prince's words out of context. But ,i hear what u r saying Tame. LOVE takes care of and LOVEs othere. But LOVE isn't a thing, so it certainly can't be anything u want it to be.
Maybe Prince meant that LOVE can do anything it sets out to do. smile

U can purchase the song book online. Anyway, I'm referring to the acoustic version that Prince released on the 3121 website a couple of years ago.

I love it...up until about 4:20 in. Then it loses me when the whole 'shake that thing c'mon'
I wanna be loved to the 9s, so let me cover your ass with this sheet, and baby, you better stay on the beat! Cause you know the Karma Sutra? I can rewrite it. But, with half as many words.

I agree, to have GOD always in the middle of a relationship between two people, is best, it protects against failures.

"C'mon let's skate..."
(skating around the issues),

yeah, I don't see how it fits with the song except that it relates to the above lyric.
Maybe???

I was just jamming to this track today.

I've said it ever since I did the first 3121 review after the listening party....it's my favorite joint on the album. Seriously funky.

Maybe Love is the name of a shapeshifting aircraft that can fly over the Hilltops...with yellow shag carpeting in it. That's what I would like it 2 be. cool

"Love" is a kickass song, no question! The acousitc version is just as amazing. I so wish that this song was a single off of 3121. It would have been MASSIVE. nod
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
