If it was a girl from Denmark, the lyrics would go "act your age mama, not your clog size", "I think I better clog now!" Lol!

No shit! How old was Bria when this song was written? 10 maybe?lol

If this particular lyric piece is about someone specific, I'd bet it would be someone Prince was dating in 1985, not in 2010!

But it could just as easily be a line he thought sounded cool for the song.. not every Prince lyric has a hidden message, OK?

Oh so this song and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" was about his mama? lol

"Mama" is a funk euphemism for babe, you know right? cool

Unless you were being sarcastic. lol

And to that I say absolutely. biggrin

I always thought he was referring to shoe sizes in the united states since they (normally) don't go up past a size 15. Don't shoe size charts in Europe use another form of measurement, which would make the lyrics a bit confusing for someone who doesn't wear a size 9 shoe (or, like me, a size 13)

OK, look - this has gone on long enough.

The line refers to a request that a lady quit acting like an immature child and start acting like the adult she is.

Who the lady is doesn't matter. The vast likelihood is that Prince wasn't talking about anyone in real life.

Easy now, don't get ruffled over a shoe made from a solid block of wood. I recognize, just saw an opportunity for humor and took it.

maybe he's just saying he prefers women to girls, but who knows how prince defines the difference?

i dont recall him ever being a woman, they all come across as girls to me

girls that nod a lot, and then they're gone.

have fun with your bait thread thumbs up!

this too shall pass
