One Song!


I am the universe
The sun, the moon and sea
I am the energy
4 that is what I believe
I can be contradiction
'cause that is all I see
But I am the universe
And the universe is me


But I have said a few times: he needs to stop doing songs about himself, and music, and parties, and money (for someone that says he is not interested in money he sure has a lot of albums that have the word MONEY in one of the songs)

He actually uses those words in If I Was Your Girlfriend and what makes that song so great is that he sings: Maybe U think I'm being a little self-centered...
If we ever do a "Prince's most personal lyric" then this might be it. And with Prince being Prince, "most personal" and "most self-centered" just might be one and the same.

Because Private Joy is about Susan Moonsie, and his relationship and feelings for her, I can't see that song as Self-Centered

It's seems even his masturbatory songs are centered around someone else:Tick Tick Bang, Do Me Baby, Tambourine, Me Touch Myself

I'm going to go with Guitar, OneDayImGonnaBeSomebody, <- the closest I can get

That seriously sounds like something Morrissey would write

but yeah, my name is Prince is probably the one that comes to mind mostly.

yup, i thought of others, but they were more ironic or self deprecating instead of self centered, but this one is another candidate

For some reason God strikes me as self centered even though he's essentially preaching gospel.
