[Intro]
Uh, yeah, ow!
Do, do, do-do-do
Do, do, do-do-do
Do, do, do-do-do
Do, do, do-do-do

[Verse 1]
Ever since the day we met
Feel like a baby on Christmas day
Happy is all i get
Whenever you come my way
The sky's another shade of blue
Whenever you go outside
I bet it never rains on you
You're beauty personified

[Chorus]
I never been sweet on candy
But you're as sweet as they come
Money never comes in handy
'Cause I can never buy half the fun I get
When I'm with you baby
You're all I want
You're all I want

[Verse 2]
Ever since the day I kissed you
It's always been on my mind
Honey I can't resist you
I want you all the time
At night I get those dreams
The kind you don't talk about
Just makes me wanna scream
Girl i wanna love you inside out

[Chorus]
I never been sweet on candy
But you're as sweet as they come
Money never comes in handy
'Cause i can never buy half the fun I get
When I'm with you baby
You're all I want
You're all I want
Work out!

Do, do, do-do-do
Do, do, do-do-do
Do, do, do-do-do
Do, do, do-do-do

[Spoken]
Yeah, i like the way you walk, baby
But in a nutshell, listen

[Verse 3]
Ain't no kinda maybe
Baby you're the one for me
Your body just drives me crazy
Crazier than anyone should be
You got to be my lover
Talking about the...good thing
Can't wait any longer
I want it so bad I got to sing

[Chorus]
I never been sweet on candy (girl you're so sweet)
But you're as sweet as they come
Money never comes in handy
'Cause I can never buy half the fun I get
When I'm with you, baby
You're all I want

[Outro]
Everybody, work out

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
You're all I want
You're all I want
You're all I want
You're all I, you're all I, work out!

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.
