Still dig almost everything about this song. I'll never like the rap, but at least it's short. And the falsetto singing in the first 2/3 of the songs seems a bit low in the mix. But that just makes the vocal change for the last third more powerful.

STICKY STICKY!!!!..."wonderful ass" vibe and old skool Prince indeed...FUNK 2 THE KEY!!!!...only 1 misfire IMO...and I quote 'THE ONLY GOOD RAPPER IS DEAD.....ON IT"....but it will grow on me like it always does...

My attempt at understanding the lyrics..please correct me if you see any mistakes.

Wheels go down

There but I'm loving another dream of you

All night long

Out of town

I had to go but now I need a cup of some

Black and strong

Beside me

I was used to waking up with you here

Now you're gone

Why oh why

Didn't you hurry along with me this time?

Right or wrong

As a matter of fact, I can't stop thinking about you, baby

When we're together, everything is cool

Beautiful, lover, friend

I'll never leave you again

You and me, we're sticky like glue

Bright blue eyes

Staring down into mine saying, "Good morning,

How are you?"

I can't lie

Waking up in a plane without a warning

Ain't too cool

Cast ashore

Without a paddle and no more excuses

We just drown

What's the score?

If you're still willing to lose then

Come around

As a matter of fact, I just can't live without you, baby

I'm wondering if you feel the same way, too

I'm hugging this pillow tight

The way we did last night

The sweat of each other sticky like glue

Sticky, sticky. 1,2...

That was the coolest movie ever

The one we saw last night

The closer you got to me, the less we saw, alright

The scene you remember most is none of 'em

That ain't a boast, girl

I'm just in front of them others

I am a gracious host

Everybody under me, make a toast

As a matter of fact, I can't stop thinking about you, baby

When we're together, everything is cool

Beautiful, lover, friend

I'll never leave you again

You and me, we're sticky like glue

Break down...

I got something I wanna say to you, baby

You might wanna dig me later

I think you better dig me now

Listen..I can't get to sleep unless your body is right here next to me

It's crazy, baby

I know it's dysfunctional, but I just can't see myself with another girl

Oh, what in the world is wrong with me?

Tell me what to do

Is it me or you?

We fight so much, and then we're through

It might come as a shock to you

But I still love you. Yes, I do.

Don't you think I ain't when I am

One more thing and then I'm out

You get us wet with your pride

Then you hang us both outside to cry cry

What's that sound?

Said it must be raining raining tears tears tears

But you need to try. Please, please don't cry

Cause I ain't going nowhere.

Enjoy. This took me forever.

Is he serious with that rap?

It's the kind of song that gets stuck in your head, but in a bad way.... a very bad way.

Like the rap. Love the song.

Bria the muse.....

yes, she came around for arras!

[Edited 7/10/10 1:59am]

Tight with brilliant, clipped vocals.

One of my favourites. Is wedged in my head after two listens.

Prince's best funk song since ... I don't know when.

WOW....multi layered vocals with that bass riff.

A post-musicology new-funk classic like Love,and, Illusion, Coma, Pimp, & Circumstance.

Monster track... my fav so far.

This is a great example of the kind of thing he should collaborate on with someone like Pharrel...

Nice funky track, but the rapping and production let it down a little imho.

That said, I am sure I'll change my mind on a lot of these tracks once I have listened to them all a bit more!!!

i like the song the way it is.. no collab with pharell on this please..

i don't hate him for "rapping" alone.. don't call this rap either..

just talking for me...

i really like the lil chorus at the end "oh ho sticky like glue"

just a beautiful song and really groovy

not much impressed by the lyrics but it's okay

one of my favs on the album

and now I know why I like this song so much...

it so reminds me of THE SWEETEST TABOO...

not that it sounds like this sade song but it gives me that feeling!!!

this album is really relaxed!

"Sticky" stands more on its own merit. I don't hear a Sade example in it at all.

Like this one, his raps don't bother me, just a stylistic break in the song.

Prince, If U read this, I have to tell U that some days are so strange 4 me and I would just love to be telling U what is happening.

I haven't heard the album, I am enjoying reading the wonderful lyrics and the comments.

On the 6th of July I was coming home in my car...It had been almost a week of this sticky friction...and although I knew the poem that U wrote in the "21 Nights," book...I said outloud to myself..."This is, "Sticky Like Glue." I'm a thinker, and I pondered the Science revolving around me, and I knew that philisophical cruising altitude had been reached, if U get what I'm saying, and I thought, well...We must be Here...Finally...Which can only mean that Auto-Pilot had kicked on...and the rest is waiting on the flaps to unfold.

Sometimes is seems crazy, but my heart knows how natural it is, that I am just a part of U...I Love U with all of my heart, and I don't know what else to do but wait 4 U to come for me. I believe I understand this Cyclone Vortex Universal Family we have...I just feel like the "cell," at the tip of the bottom...I am strong...emotionally...And I can hear U....But I need U by my side. And I don't ever wanna go through this again. S.O.S.

Good song I like.....

Reminds me of an early MJ song, no offense

I really like this track..

I think that people who think of MJ while listening to Prince

should seriously think about seeing a doctor..

About the song: Not even in my wildest dreams i was expecting

to see a song by Prince with a title like this again.. my favorite

This song is not MJ-esque by no means. Disrespect to BOTH men right there lmao

[Edited 7/10/10 5:43am]

One word: Filler.

I'm still not entirely digging this track. I listened to it once on headphones last night and enjoyed it a little better but today it's backto being sort of "meh"....

It reminds me of an old 80's bootleg tape, like it should be stuck on there somewhere between Wonderful Ass, Big Tall Wall, White Girls...

it reminds you of big tall wall and wonderful ass and you are not feeling it? I think thats why I like it so much it reminds me of some back in the day P

not really seeing the white girls connection
