"Thank you for a funky time" - Darling Nikki wink

"For your every touch I thank you so much" - I Wish U Heaven

"I just wanna thank you; Each and every day" - Te Amo Corazon

He also ends The Work Pt 1, 4 The Tears In Your Eyes and Welcome 2 The Dawn with "Thank you".

Not sure if there's an entire Prince song devoted to gratitude out there though.

Thank the Almighty for you, baby. Dance 4 Me

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I know it's not officially a "Prince" song, but he plays it, honors it and delivers it.

I think some Sly covers are a theme for Prince, coming from the heart of funk headbang If it weren't for Prince letting so many of us be 'ourselves,' enjoying the music however, whenever we want, being whoever we want to be, this world wouldn't be nearly as great. IMO

So I'd simply like to Thank You, Prince rose for letting us be ourselves, again and again and again

Interesting perspective...much as I love Prince and his music, it seems to me that recent behaviour (ie. last decade or so) have suggested he is less inclined to let his fans do this than most artists.

Just wondering what it is you feel Prince does to let us be 'ourselves' in respect to listening to his music and being who we want to be, more so than the average artist?

Days of Wild "A woman every day should be thanked"

Acknowledge Me "Thank the Lord" "Gimme 2 times just 2 thank my Savior"

International Lover "Thank U 4 flying Prince International"

Take Me With U "Thank you" *sung by apples

The Ladder "He never once said thank U, never please"

Do U Lie? "OK, merci" (some female 20 yeas ago I could tell you who it was now...no idea)

Family Name "free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last!"" ( sample lifted from MLK speech)

Had U "Thanked you"

Fascination "The rapper that gave that head will thank his manager before the Lord"

Pink Cashmere "I wanna jump 4 joy and thank Him I'm not alone"

Le Grind "Thank you" (in the party noise)

Eye No "And thank Him 4 your blessings of the past week" (part of the interlude it is a preacher or something)

Race "Thank God this ain't Monopoly"

The Human Body "Excited enough 2 thank the God above 4 the human body" "Freak me till I thank the God above 4 the human body"

and then there is

Free a song about being greatful.

Be glad that U are free
Free 2 change your mind
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that U are free
There's many a man who's not
Be glad 4 what U had, baby, what U've got
Be glad 4 what U've got
