Hmmm, let's compare:

Then:

"She wants a place in heaven
But she cannot face the truth
She lives on a rope of self-pity
It only requires a noose "

Now:

"So U're havin' a party?
Goody 4 U
All the beautiful people gonna b there
Yeah that's cool
U know U're gonna have a good time
Cause U got the news
That the life 'o' the party
Is gonna party with U"

Then:

"So what is the answer 2 the question of u
what do I look 4, what shall I do?
Which way do I turn when I'm feeling lost?
if I sell my soul, now what will it cost?
Must I become naked? No image at all?
Shall I remain upright? Or get down and crawl?"

Now:

"All across the nation
People doing what they can
2 avoid the tribulation
That will b great throughout the land
Everything in darkness
Must come out in2 the light
When we love each other
That's the only way that's gonna be right"

Then:

"If I was your girlfriend
would you remember
To tell me all of the things you forgot when I was your man?
If I was your best friend
would you let me toke care of you?
Do all the things that only a best friend can?"

Now:

"Lolita, you're sweeta

But u'll never make a cheata outta me."

Get the picture? Prince the great writer is gone.

Perfect place for this rant:
