Somebody's somebody, somewhere, someone

It's 2 o'clock in the morning and I just can't sleep
Outside the rain is pourin', I'm lonely as can be
Maybe tonight'll be different than the nights before
I need to feel someone beside me, I can't be alone no more

Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody
Tonight I wanna belong to someone
(Someone)
Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it 'til the job gets done
(Oh yeah)

This big ol' world can be so empty livin' in it all alone
I realize, in its best disguise, a pretty house don't make a home
There's a hunger deep inside of me, how the fire burns
I wanna give good love to someone and get good love in return, oh

Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody
Tonight I wanna belong to someone
(Someone)
Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it 'til the job gets done
(Oh yeah)

Somebody's somebody
Someone
I wanna be somebody's body
Oh yes, oh yeah

Someone to hold me in that hour midnight
Someone to console me when things ain't goin' to right
Someone to bring me dinner sometime, yeah
(Mine, all mine)
Somebody I can call all mine

It's 2:05 in the morning and I got no one to call
I'm longin' To hear another voice inside these lonely walls
(Lonely walls)
Maybe tonight'll be different
(Different)
Than the nights before
(Maybe not)
I need to feel someone beside me, I cannot be alone no more
(No more, no more)

Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody
Tonight I wanna belong to someone
(Someone)
Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it 'til the job gets done
(Oh yeah)

Somebody's somebody
I don't wanna be alone, no no
I don't wanna wait another day, no
I'll do it over and over and over and over, yeah

Ooh, I don't wanna wait, no
Can I belong to you, baby? Oh yeah
(I wanna belong to someone)
Ooh, slow, deep and long
Do me over and over and over and over

(Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody)
Oh, yeah if you're out there, come on, baby I'll keep it hot for you
(Tonight I wanna be somebody's somebody)
Come on, baby
(Tonight I want somebody that'll do it 'til the job gets done, oh yeah)
Done

Somebody's somebody

Prince and Mayte: Happy Tears

With the pregnancy of Prince's then-wife Mayte Garcia, Prince was inspired to make and announce a children's music album called Happy Tears, credited to Prince and Mayte. The album was supposed to have been released on November/1996. The album was going to include a book of children's stories with it, also credited to Prince and Mayte. To promote the album, Prince guest-starred on the show Muppets Tonight, and performed the only song confirmed that would have been included on the album, "She Gave Her Angels", which remained unreleased until inclusion on the "Crystal Ball" set. The album was likely cancelled due to Prince's son's death one week after birth.

“And now I’d like 2 turn your heart
2 a tale of sheer delight
A song of adulation, love and fear
No one loved him better
No one better sacrificed
She gave her angels that summer night

Fate as she designed it
Took her from her man
Destiny and love don’t always go hand in hand
As the world lay waiting
Like an embryo in a womb
She gave her angels that night in June

She gave her angels 2 her man
Because her man had none
2 watch over him ’til he returned…
Her man, her lover, her son, her father
4 all these things he meant 2 her
She felt it right
She gave her angels that summer night”

Happy Tears is a multimedia project announced on 1 April, 1996 during a press release focusing on Mayte's pregnancy.

The project was to be credited to " and Mayte", which would have marked the first release credited to both artists, and was planned to include an album of songs on CD, and accompanying children's storybook and a read-along cassette of the book's stories. At the time of the press release, eight songs were included on the album, along with three children's stories in the accompanying book, all featuring multi-racial characters.

While may have planned songs for a children's album in advance of Mayte's pregnancy, it is probable that the eight songs planned for the album were recorded in late February or March, 1996, between and Mayte's marriage and the announcement of her pregnancy.

The only song confirmed for the album was She Gave Her Angels (which was later released on Crystal Ball). It is also possible that the 1995 re-recording of Starfish And Coffee was planned for inclusion on the album, however; both tracks were lip-synched during 's appearance on The Muppets Tonight TV show recorded in September, 1996, which was planned to coincide with the project's release (the show was cancelled before 's appearance was aired, although it was later aired in several countries).

The project was cancelled when and Mayte's son died from complications caused by Pfeiffer Syndrome a week after his birth on 16 October, 1996.

Muppets Tonight
Air Date	September 13, 1997
Written by	Jennifer Barrow, Dick Blasucci, Paul Flaherty, Darin Henry, Jim Lewis, Bernie Keating, Kirk Thatcher and Patric Verrone
Director	Brian Henson

http://muppet.wikia.com/w..._as_Prince

The Muppets' special guest (also known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince) visits the show, while Sal takes a correspondence course to become a bone doctor.

Elsewhere, in New York City, Statler and Waldorf look at a big screen advertisement for Muppets Tonight. Statler says that the show was ten times as big, while Waldorf says that it's too bad the show is one tenth as funny. When the pair try changing the channel, they have problems with a big remote.

has said that he used the song to "speak to the spirit of a friend lost to drugs"; it is believed that this refers to Jonathan Melvoin, Wendy and Susannah Melvoin's brother, keyboard player for The Smashing Pumpkins, who had played on both Around The World In A Day and Parade, and who played keyboard in the live line-up of The Family. Melvoin died of a heroin overdose in New York City on 12 July, 1996.

Desperate is the day that is 2morrow
4 those who do not know the time has come
2 whip the dogs that beg, steal or borrow
From the table God set 4 His Son
Wicked is the witch that stands 4 nothing
All the while watching 2 see U fall
Deeper than the ditch that bred your suffering
The one being dug right now by them all

Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens
No matter how heavy or dark the day
Pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow
It's never as bad as it seems until we say

Precious is the baby with a mother
That tells him that his Saviour is coming soon
All that believe will cleanse and purify themselves
Put down the needle, put down the spoon {x2}

Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing, oh
While seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take, oh
Blessed are we inside this prayer
4 in the new world, we will be there

The only love there is, is the love we make {x2}
(The only love there is, is the love we make)
Only love there is, only love there is
The only love there is, is the love we make (Yeah)
The only love there is, is the love we make

Thanks. I loved this era, the album is very joyful and fun, it has nice memories for me and it seemed like Prince was at his happiest then. With the dawning of the internet and his new found freedom there was so much expectation for the future.

It's such a shame for him the tragedy that happened around the time of release, I don't think he's really ever been as happy since (so far). I also think this marked the spot for many fans where he made his last great album (agreed the production could have been less plasticy but for me the content overrides that in this case in a way it doesn't in some later albums, NPS for example).

Do it like she like, do it like she like it
Do it like she like, do it like she like it
Do it like she like, do it like she like it
Do it like she like, do it like she like it

Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
Give her what she want, when she want
When it come to you she down

Baby, let me read her journal
Or should I say, she turned around and it was gone
The innuendo reads eternal
Or should I say, every other page I'm on

When she come to cook your dinner
You can ask her if what I say is true
The secret will remain within her
But her shade of red will turn your's blue

Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
Give her what she want, when she want
When it come to you she down

Maybe you recall last summer
When you saw her ridin' in my car
A kiss or two later she was back in your bed
Smellin' like a fallen star

Just because she's fine
You think she don't wine and dine
With everyone you know

Oh, long as you're fooled, I'm cool
She says she gonna put me in a video
You need to

Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
Give her what she want, when she want
When it come to you she down

Oh, yeah
Sleep around, sleep around
Sleep around, sleep around

I'm the one who sent the herbs
And a book on how to use them
I'm the one who pointed out her fears
And how to lose them

And if a difference love will make
This advice you oughta take

Baby, let me read her journal
Or should I say, she turned around and it was gone
The innuendo reads eternal
Or should I say, every other page I'm on
You need to

Do it like she like, do it like she like it
(Sleep around, sleep around, sleep around)
Do it like she like it, like it, like it

Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
Give her what she want when she want it
When it come to you, she down
Sleep around, sleep around

Do it like she like it
So your baby don't wanna sleep around
(I'm watchin' you, baby)

(Do it like she like it, do it)
Give her what she want, when she want it
When it come to you, she down
(Do it like she like)
Sleep around, sleep around

Do it like she like, do it like she like it
Do it like she like, do it like she like it
Do it like she like, do it like she like it
Do it like she like, do it like she like it

Sleep around, sleep around
Sleep around, sleep around
Sleep around

Do it like she like, do it like she like
Do it like she like, do it like she like
Do it like she like

Do it like she like it, do it like she like
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it like she like it
(Sleep around)
