lets talk about the lyrics in this song alright, now, i know prince has made a lot of songs -- and it must be hard to come up with all the topics for those, but this one inparticular, every time i hear this song, i am taken by the words -- if i was his ex, i dont think that i would be to fond of this song....am i reading too much into it ?
***** If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life Chorus If Eye was the man in ur life Eye'd make U happy Eye'd treat U right Eye'd but U flowers every single day Eye'd give U power Eye'd do whatever U say Eye heard a rumor that Ur man they said he'd do U wrong and U're so vain U think that U're the one behind this song U know he got plenty lyrix, yeah, up his sleeve and after he got what he want he just gonna up and leave Sunday chocolate on the roof right after his game He like the Lakers but the Sixers on when he came If he's with another now U best believe the party's crackin' U getting played girl and U better get your mack on And do un2 others As they do un2 U And call me on the day That U and him r just 2 thru Chorus Was it U that Eye saw outside the liquor store Waitin' on that fool 2 purchase what U been dyin' 4? Never thought Eye would c a drop of spirit ever bring U down Now U got that triflin' barracuda hangin' 'round Hangin' 'round Ur neck like a cheap gold chain He don't deserve 2 say that he ever knew Ur name Much less he get 2 smell the perfume Eye gave ya Please don't tell me that U'all got down Better do un2 others As they do un2 U And call me on the day That U and him r just 2 thru If Eye was the man in ur life Eye'd make U happy Eye'd treat U right Eye'd but U flowers every single day Eye'd give U power Eye'd do whatever U say ***** alright, there are many references here that dont seem to be in a "loving" way.... 1. And do un2 others, As they do un2 U interesting... 2. Was it U that Eye saw outside the liquor store Waitin' on that fool 2 purchase what U been dyin' 4? Never thought Eye would c a drop of spirit ever bring U down -- someone have a drinking problem ??? 3. Now U got that triflin' barracuda hangin' 'round, Hangin' 'round Ur neck like a cheap gold chain - thats just an outright slam 4. He don't deserve 2 say that he ever knew Ur name, Much less he get 2 smell the perfume Eye gave ya -- sounds pretty angry/jealous to me 5. Eye'd give U power -- is this a slam against another musician who is not as "powerful" as prince himself ? 6. Eye'd do whatever U say -- is that an appology of some kind for HIS actions ???? what do you think ?? One of the best days of my life... http://prince.org/msg/100/291111

I don't know but
1. And do un2 others, As they do un2 U
This is one of my most unpopular mantras. I live by it, and everyone hates it. They know that whatever they do to me is what they're gonna eventually get back. It's only fair, y'know. You're not reading into anything, the lyrics came from somewhere in Prince's life. They don't just pop up out of the clear blue. | |

yup, yup... that has Mayte and, perhaps, Tommy Lee written all over it... "Please don't tell me that U'all got down" Indeed! hehehe However, since this song seems to be the second half of The Marrying Kind then is that song about Mayte in some way? | |
