[Verse 1]
Girl, I'm goin' crazy, I'm lonely and I need a kiss
My body wants to call you but my ego says I got to resist
Tired of waiting baby, tired of giving you the upper hand
You play it your way, I never know where I stand

[Chorus]
So I said
No call you, you call me
If love is true, I will see

[Verse 2]
I can't to listen to my music for when you're calling, what'll I do
My body wants to call you but my ego says let her call you
Everybody say you got the different kind of live and die
Baby, I don't wanna but I'll listen to my ego tonight

[Chorus]
I said
No call you, you call me
If love is true, I will see, yeah

[Chorus]
Ooh
No call you, you call me
You still call, I still call you baby
If love is true, I will see, yeah

[Verse 3]
Girl, I'm goin' crazy, I'm lonely and I need a kiss
My body wants to call you but my ego says I got to resist
Got this lovin' if you want to, but I ain't playin' second to none
You gotta put your arms around me and tell me I'm the only one

[Chorus]
I said
No call you, you call me (no, no, no)
If love is true, I will see
(I will see baby, I will)
No call you, you call me
If love is true, I will see

[Breakdown]
No call you
You call me
Love is true
I will see
No call you (I called you in the summer)
You call me (whenever I call your ass up on the phone)
Love is true (love is true)
I will see (love you)

[Spoken]
Woo!
Damn I wish you'd call me
What possesses you to be so proud
Just tell me that you love me
Write a letter for crying out loud
Just tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

[Chorus]
No call you, you call me
(Boy, I'm going crazy)
If love is true, I will see
(Can't make up my mind what I wanna do tonight)
No call you, you call me
(I'm kind of lonely and I)
If love is true, I
(I don't know what I)

[Outro]
No that's alright
I'm the coolest
No boy, you got to call me
Yeah
We can fool around if you want to
I won't call you, you gon' have to call me
That's right, I'm stubborn
That's my middle name
Cool day in the summer
If I call your ass up on the phone
No call you, you call me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-wee

Prince

An American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and actor that produced 22 RIAA-platinum albums during his 40-year career, Prince may be known for one of many different things – his turn as “The Kid” in the iconic film/album/8 ½ minute ballad “Purple Rain”, being the writer behind the acclaimed anthem “Kiss,” rivaling Michael Jackson at the pinnacle of his career, being the inspiration behind censorship laws, or being the artist addressed as an unpronounceable symbol throughout the 1990s—but while many know of Prince, most don’t fully understand the impact his legacy left on this world.

Going by many aliases throughout his life, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958 with his father’s (John L. Nelson) stage name as his own given one. Growing up, Prince suffered from serious epileptic seizures at a very young age, but he had wrote his first composition of many by age seven, and outside of his love for basketball, he wanted music to be his purpose in life. His tumultuous childhood, witnessing alcoholism and abuse, caused him to find refuge in neighbor André Cymone’s home in his teens, where the two competed in local band competitions, leading to Prince’s introduction to Morris Day alongside music with his cousin’s band 94 East, leading him to be courted by record labels and ultimately signed to Warner Bros. Records with complete creative control; at 19, his debut album, For You (1978) was released – Prince played all 19 instruments on the record.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Rick James, and James Brown, Prince desired to form a music dynasty and after the success of his next albums – the platinum-selling Prince (1979), the sexually-charged Dirty Mind (1980), and politically-motivated Controversy (1981) – he negotiated for the ability to form his own label and manage artists of his own. Prince’s trademark sexual/religious rhetoric within pop-and-dance, funk-rock sound gained him a following, but his opening slates for Rick James and The Rolling Stones were both negatively received and facing bankruptcy, the young artist began to reach for mainstream popularity. Cashing on the drug-influenced doomsday mania of the times, 1982’s 1999 easily achieved that mainstream appeal, landing him on MTV, music charts, and radio stations across the world.
