Please Help - Prince song query for Mother's Day in Thailand

Hi!

It's nearly Mother's Day in Thailand and at the school where I work the teachers are posting on a board poems, lyrics etc. featuring people writing about their mother, or mothers about their children.

Are there any Prince songs where he speaks about his mother? It doesn't matter if the lyrics are dark.

Please, please help if u can, thank you.

pray

Thanks, it's a nice track, but it's not about a mother to her child or about a child to their mother is it?

I don't understand. Help me a little here! big grin

Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night

U always got to wait 4 a green light
Remember god he made u
One day he'll make everything alright

Alright

Little darling
Gotta go now
Don't worry u'll be just fine
When it comes 2 good luck
I just know, I just know u'll always be the first in line
Nobody'll ever love u as much as I do
That doesn't mean other people won't love u 2
Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget 2 say your prayers at night
Remember god he made u
And one day he'll make everything alright
Don't cross on yellow
U always got to wait 4 a green light
Remember god he made u
And one day he'll make things alright

Alright
Make everything alright
Alright

Little darling
Gotta go now
Got my future all planned out
Before I go
Don't talk 2 strangers

Duh! Silly me. Thanks a lot princess, I might use this. It's a little strange because it's written by a man, but Prince has written so many songs for women I guess it's ok.

Does he sing this song or did he just write it for someone else?

I always laugh when I listen to unreleased demo tracks where Prince is singing from a woman's point of view.

The song is on the album "Girl 6", soundtrack from the movie. And Chaka Khan did sing it a lot.
