Am I the only one who loves "Player"

So there U are
About time U showed up
Yea, I know what U heard
But let me talk

Baby, take a look outside your window
And see your future standing there
I've been here 4 a while now, baby
Or maybe U weren't aware
I knew that U heard every single story
About all the friends that I've got
But baby, if U give me 7 years of your time
All the friends I would have not


CHORUS:

Player - If I had U girl, I wouldn't be one
Player - If U'd let me in the mix, we could have fun
Player - If life was a movie, U'd have the main part
Girl, U're number one with a bullet on my charts


Don't make me say I need U like a begger man
Why don't U let me come inside?
I'm the type of male that a girl like U is in need of
Sho' U right
I could take U sailing in a glass bottom boat
U could drink wine while I read poems that I wrote


I'm sick of fishing in the big sea, baby
I wanna check out the settling down
I wanna dock my boat in your fairway
In your kisses I wanna drown {x3}

CHORUS

If I had U girl, I wouldn't be one

Friends, whatever they told U, they lied
My life's an open book, I ain't got nothing 2 hide
I need U like a begger, yeah, I got no pride
Open your heart, let me come inside

CHORUS

Baby, take a look outside your window
And see your future standing there
I've been here 4 a while now, baby
Or maybe U wouldn't care
I knew that U heard every single story
About all the friends that I've got
But baby, if U give me 7 years of your time
All the friends I will have not

Player - If I had U girl, I wouldn't be one
Player - If U'd let me in the mix, we could have fun
Player - If life was a movie, U'd have the main part
Cuz girl, U're number one with a bullet on my chart

Player {x3}

So that's my day in court

This never seemed like a real song to some extent...almost like a raw demo or something he just wrote really quickly. Some of the lyrics are a little weak or goofy but some are very memorable like

"I could take U sailing in a glass bottom boat
U could drink wine while I read poems that I wrote "

Plus I just love the bass line and the little keyboard part...the song just makes me feel good..can anyone else relate?

this song is amazing.

The drum programing is nothing spectacular. but the key pad is smooth.
it trances me.

I realy love the 4 note bell-synth on loop during the instrumental break.
it's secluded to just the left speaker. so its distant but right in ur ear.

Fuck what yaull say but Prince got mad flow. and it comes from the heart.

A real song it is. P's vocals are just very low in the mix.

Such a great track. Prince does rap right (If you wanna call it rap).

Sounds like something that had it been released, Prince may have completely ruined it by adding more and more shit on top, destroying the simplicity.

You're so right!! If he released it today, he's add a whole bunch of bells and whistles and probably something "jazzy" and about Jehovah. Lol!
