Great song. Over-all really slick production, nice and fresh, great instrumentation, and of course his voice is very girly sweet. I like the line "it's better with a man". Did he turn someone gay and got pissed about it? Like, she was with him then she went with a girl instead? Anyway, 10 out of 10 from me for the whole vibe of the song, and the desperate pleading.

Prince's live performances of Bambi put the studio cut to shame.

Yeah i find it difficult to listen to the studio cut without wanting to reach from his more recent performances of it. The studio cut is so clean sounding, and the drums are so weak. My favourite performance is the soundboard recording from an aftershow on the ONA tour - Copenhagen i think.

Great song from "1979."

Bambi is definetly one of Prince's greatest, but your question is dumb.

one of my absolute favorite songs...brilliant!

Actually I had a conversation with a fellow Purple Music lover about this song last month

I strongly believe this song is about a young lady into other ladies
Which was a pleasant surprise
It's pretty obvious from the lyrics it's about a young 'lesbian' Prince is attracted to.

U had another lover and she looked just like U

All your lovers, they look just like U
But they can only do the things that U do

I'm gonna show U what it's like 2 be loved by a man

Bambi, maybe U need 2 bleed (I won't take this part to seriously but could be suggestive of being a virgin to MF sex...the ancient idea that when a woman is 1st penetrated she bleeds)
