I can only think of the songs "Valentina" and "Lion of Judah" -- and google isn't helping much in my search: the search is taking me to countless articles calling him a superstar, and haven't had luck by altering keywords and key phrases with restricting the search to only lyrics pages. Oftentimes, typing "Prince Rogers Nelson" as a phrase, and not just "Prince" helps refocus the search. But that is not helping this time around. Thanks if you can help with other song titles.

You would likely achieve better results if you first identified as many sites as possible dedicated to Prince's lyrics - and which also feature a very capable search engine facility.

To illustrate, you could first visit a site such as:

https://www.princelyrics.co.uk/search/

You will, of course always be dependent upon the capability of the site's search engine (e.g. does it use a language that allows you to search using a range of words or a phrase?), the extent to which the site has transcribed Prince songs etc..

If the search engine results only display links to pages on which the word you are searching for is supposed to be included, then go to each page and use CTRL + F on your keyboard (or its equivalent for the software / keyboard used) and type the word to find where it features precisely in the lyric.

So, if you search the word 'superstar' in the above site's search engine (i.e. on princelyrics.co.uk), it only indicates that the word is found in their transcription of the song, 'Valentina'.

A search against the word 'super' would also include a link to the page for 'Lion of Judah', where the site has transcribed the song as including 'super star' (i.e. two separate words). This particular site's search engine does not allow you to search using search language such as "super star" or 'super + star'. Consequently, a search against 'star' alone will also give results for pages where the lyric includes the word, 'start', for example, because the word 'start' includes the word 'star'.

Thank you, langebleu. I did a search with the site https://www.moonbeamlevels4u.info/ (I've found them pretty reliable in the past, when trying to be very specific as with this occasion). With this search my results did expand to three, to include "Cause and Effect". Appreciate your input!

I'd never heard that SNL live version. So now the tally has grown up to 4 total.
