That slow vibe and the music, love it

"The answer to the question of life is a grey-haired bitch at least,

sucking on the ebony dancer inbetween these dirty sheets!"

Now I know why he wrote Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance.

Amazing verses. Lazy chorus. Wasted kiss.

yeah, i like it. it's a song that gets zero mention here. seems like it leaves most people cold.

no one utterly loves it, few utterly hate it.

another song on this album that it very underrated is 'when you love somebody' which is, in
my humble opinion a truly overlooked little gem.

The album is okay, but in comparison to the other NPG albums, it's at the bottom of the list. The song in question isn't bad. It's a cutesy song, nothing deep. It's in the middle, as there are better and worse songs on the album.

I like this one alot. One of the high points of the album. The "shoo-bed-ooh" chorus is the only weak point of this track for me. The tone of voice used is amazing, and I love the lyrics.

I have been a Prince fan since I was 8 years old.

If I never understand anything else. Prince made damn sure his True Funk Soliders would understand him...afterwards.


Fluently!!!

I always thought it was funny that he said he wasn't gonna swear anymore right before he put out this album, yet "Shoo Bed Ooh" features him repeatedly singing the word bitch. Not to mention the other lyric about sucking on the ebony dancer.

Agreed. On both counts. 'My balls are round and round...'

Stand out line from the album

One of the best tracks from a patchy album.

Fluently!!!

So U thought U just might lose your mind 2day
Brother pushin' that game on ya as if U wanna play
Askin' U every other sentence if them titties are real
One tramp even had the nerve 2 touch 'em as if U wanted a feel

CHORUS:
Shoo-bed-ooh, shoo-bed-ooh, ooh!
Shoo-bed-ooh, shoo-bed-ooh, ooh!

The money that U make ain't payin' the rent, so U sleep in cars
U wonder aloud if U're happy - U say, "Yea," as if U really are
This car U drive with no gas won't take U very far
U look up in the sky and wish upon a star (Upon a star)

CHORUS

The answer 2 the question of life is a gray-haired bitch at least
Suckin' on the ebony dancer in between these dirty sheets
Spittin' out the aftertaste of a boy who might not call again
If this is the game U stood in line 4 - how're U gonna win?

(How're U gonna win?)
Shoo-bed-ooh, shoo-bed-ooh, ooh!

So U thought he just might come every time U phone
As if U've never been lonely as if U've never been alone
(As if U've never been alone)
How U ever gonna win if U let 'em all see your hand?
Playin' the queen don't work on your knees as if U understand

CHORUS {x2}

The answer 2 the question of life is a gray-haired bitch at least
Suckin' on the ebony dancer in between these dirty sheets
Spittin' out the aftertaste of a boy who might not call again
If this is the game U stood in line 4 - how're U gonna win?
How U gonna win?

CHORUS {x2}

So U thought U just might lose your mind 2day

Prince fan since you were 8 years old! Now thats what I'm talking about, haha. Whats your first few songs you can remember were out around that age?

This song and "When U Love Somebody" are overlooked.

Man... this album reminds me of '98. Makes the memories come back to life vividly.

Soft and Wet...FIRST. And Just As Long As We're Together second. But as much I liked BOTH songs...neither of them set me on the life-long journey of being the Prince fan that I became. That distinction belongs to "It's Gonna Be Lonely". From the first time I heard that song, Prince had me ...lock, stock and barrel. And the ONLY person with balls big enough that EVER DARED come close to distruping that love affair was Prince...himself. Yet purposely or otherwise he was aided in that...and I'm NEVER going to forget it!

It's not a bad song but the production lets it down. Typical of the era.

It okay
