This may have been touched on before, but what exactly do you think is really going on in Wasted Kisses? Obviously there's the sirens, knocks, screams and heart moniter thingie so...

I like yo avatar, this is a very good picture. Whoever took it, have a great eye!

As 4 Wasted Kisses? I've always thought about it as a "love/hate" relationship thang. Folks say that its a suicidale tune, others say its about his son(which I highly doupt) but who knows?

'Come Back' from the Truth album is about the death of his son.

My avatar? I took the pic myself with my webcam...lol. Thanks, (if that was meant for me). I feel that it's a love triangle type of deal. He's the good guy and the other guy's a bully type and ends up doing the girl in. Somebody's dead in the end of it...

Neither "Wasted Kisses" or "Comback" is about the death of his son. Is son was born in '98. Those songs were wrote long before that.

Just a few weeks after Prince married Mayté on Feb 14th 96
a press-statement was released bringing us the news that
Mayté was preggers. As enigma would have it the child was
conceived on the weddingnight [talk about lucky shots].

His son was born in september/october of 1996, just before
the "Emancipation" monolith promo-campagn broke loose.

"ComeBack" could very well be about his son.

CHORUS:
Why did I waste my kisses on U, baby?
Why did I waste my kisses on U now?
Why did I waste my kisses on U, baby?
Why did I waste my kisses on U now?

Overdue – that's how I described the hour
The minute, the moment that I first laid eyes on U
I guess I knew that sooner or later this power
Would manifest itself into a rendezvous

Small dark room – that's where I let U smother
In front of your [gut, tell another]
Why should I care?
Cheap perfume all over those burgundy stockings
The ones I tied U up with
I shoulda just left 'em there (Shoulda just left 'em there)
Why'd I waste my kisses on U?

Why did I waste my kisses on U, baby?

CHORUS

Why'd I waste my kisses on U, baby? (On U)
Why did I waste my kisses on U now?
Why'd I waste my kisses on U, baby? (On U)
Why did I waste my kisses on U now?
...just another manic monday...

It is about his son. He talked about it with Spike Lee in Interview magazine.
