"Young and Beautiful" Appreciation Thread

Who else loves this song?? I believe it's truly gorgeous.
Beautiful intro, lovely melody, meaningful lyrics.
This song is giving me a wonderful feeling in the pit of my stomach. (or it could be the Subway roasted chicken wrap I just ate, but I digress lol)

So young and beautiful
So young and beautiful

U're so young and beautiful
U're so full of life - everybody knows
That's why they try 2 take advantage of u...
but u don't have 2 do what the other ones do
U're so cool - the world at your feet,
they only want ur virginity
Keep ur clothes on and ur chastity
until u find the one that's worth it baby

So young and beautiful
So young and beautiful

U're so fine my heart's just pounding
If I had the chance 2 lay u down,
I'd probably take a rain check 'til next summer
cuz I don't wanna b like all ur other lovers

young and beautiful
young and beautiful

So young and beautiful
I'm hippin' u 2 the game darlin'
so that u'll always remain
young and beautiful
young and beautiful
oh yeah

that song gives me the creeps. the perfect song to play after this would be "dirty old man" by the three degrees.

count me in as one who appreciates young & beautiful. musically and lyrically, this is one of the strongest trax on one nite alone. but like the rest of that album, it's not immediately gripping. this is one CD i don't play every day, but i'm glad prince did it. like the truth, it's nice to know it will be there when i'm ready to appreciate it.

The first time I heard this song I recoiled in disgust...I thought it sounded like something Elton John would put in a Disney movie or something...but it's weird...I dig it now.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

OdysseyMiles. Where were you 3 months ago when I got slaughtered for saying a similar thing???

IMO it is the grown up, politically correct version of "Sister". Trust me, line the 2 up back to back, it's hilarious!

Beautiful tune, I'm still trying to decipher it, using the keyboard at work. I almost got it.
