Best question posed in a Prince song?

My two fav's are from Annastesia and Do Me Baby:
1.) Have you ever been so lonely that you thought that you were the only one in this world?
2.) What are you just gonna sit there and watch?

I'd be tempted to say No, although in an ideal relationship it'd be AWESOME to be able to stop yelling all at once, and just hug as best friends in the middle of it all. Talk about surrender. It requires much maturity from both people.

Oh yes. Brilliant of you to bring this one up so quickly. It's an amazing question and it perfectly sums up what kind of relationship he is trying to attain within this song.

btw, nice avatar.

the only bummer is that you always want to leave...who do you think you are?--"it's gonna be lonely"

what goes on inside your head...that makes you want to take them all to bed?--"gotta stop (messin' about)"

Why you wanna treat me so bad?
If he was your father, would u dog him then?
Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Where is my love life? Where can it be?
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
I got a gun, u think I don't? Then what's this?
How can u just leave me standing alone in a world that's so cold?
If I came back as a dolphin would u listen 2 me then?
Tell me who in this house know about the quake?
Where'd this unwritten law come from anyway? That years after the contract you should still be gettin paid?
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
So what if we're controlling all the oil, is it worth a child dying 4?

This isn't in a Prince song, or is it?

Are there really angels? Or are they just in our minds? It all comes out in the wash in time.

It's in the movie but I know there are a ton of outtakes from this period, maybe it found it's way into God is Alive or something razz I've never heard that song.
