Well, of course. Susannah inspired Prince to write song about her even before they met. That's how amazing she is! The wooh is on the one! |

Wendy & Susannah were childhood friends of Lisa & used to go watch them rehearse. Since Lisa joined in 1980, and the song was first written in '82, it could very well be about Susannah.
I dunno though, maybe Susan Moonsie? blah blah blah |

Single people write love songs. Virgins write sex songs.
Point: Not every song reflects one's personal life. |

Very true, and if he had been single or a virgin at the time, this would definitely have been the case. However, the fact that he was seeing Susan, messing around with Vanity at the time probably means that, as usual, there's probably a blend of fact and fiction involved. blah blah blah |
