Shhh.... Creepy to give this To a 16 year old to sing? The album sold over 2 million copies, reaching double platinum status, and yielded the biggest R&B hit of his career, the #1 R&B single "Can We Talk". The album produced 3 more charting singles with "I'm Ready", "Always In My Heart" and "Don't Say Goodbye Girl". To date this has been Tevin's biggest selling album and many considered this album to be the high mark of his career despite the fact he was only 16 when he recorded the album. The album was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards: 1994 Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance - Male ("Can We Talk"), 1995 Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance - Male ("I'm Ready"), and Best Rhythm & Blues Album. The album was also nominated for Best R&B Album at the 37th Grammy Awards. Prince was credited as Paisley Park for his contributions to the album as a songwriter, arranger, and producer.
If a 16 year old girl sang this song, it would have been banned  [Edited 4/15/12 10:08am] | |

I do not think so. Now his parents that let him get mixed up with prince and allowed him to sing that song might have issues. But over all it is not that bad of a song and something many 16 year olds would want to say to their girlfriend.
But I do recall a story that Tevin did not want to sing part of "round and round" (the "someday I'll make it in the big city..."). But Prince said they would play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe...prince won so he sang it. "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" |

It's a lot creepier when 16 year old boys (or boygroups) sing about "true love". At that age it's normal to have a dirty mind. |

It's creepy for Prince to sing.
"I'd rather do you after school like some homework, am I getting you hot"?

lol. exactly. it's such a great song, but that line always sounds creepy when I'm listenting to it. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Exactly. It's strange that P can sing this song as a JW, but not other "adult" songs in his catalog. | |

I agree.This song was meant to be sung by a teenager who's trying to seduce his lady before his parents come home | |

Don't forget 'The P' that Prince also offered to Tevin but in return got turned down
"Oh, U wanna be with me? How many ways can you work the P?"
"Real love takes time to satisfy, but if you can work the P, then we'll try "

@ the thought of Tevin doing this track.I though it was creepier when Prince recorded it himself for The Gold Experience.
At that point he would have been 37 years of age there abouts, and hes singing about doing a girl after school??
Had it been Australia he lived in, he would have been jailed and placed on the Sex Offenders Register by now. | |

Yes very true...despite what some simpletons think, once people go through puberty, they are no longer children..they are young men and young women. If he was 16, he was a young man and probably banging chicks left and right. It's not creepy for a 16 to sing about sex. | |

Oh gosh, now people are taking the lyrics too seriously. | |

Tevin Campbell is gay. |

No more creepy than giving him Round and Round to sing when he was even younger. "I will make a play and she will say ok..."
How was 14 in 1990. | |

I did. All the restaurants served by candlelight in the 1970s. Even Pizza Hut. Andy is a four letter word. | |
