Yes they're both written by Prince.

It's not that unusual, espectially for ballads Prince has a somewhat limited palette, and there are often soundalikes for quite a few, or at least ones that follow the same formula or pattern. These two songs also aren't that far apart in recording time, Sweet Baby from prince and DT2S from I'll Do Anything, which was an aborted soundtrack project from 1992.

And now compare it to the unreleased song "poor little bastard" from 1992.

Another similiar sounding ballad from the same year is "I can't love you anymore".

Very similar except Sweet Baby is a vastly superior song. What the hell is DT2S? That shit is WEAK.
