[Intro: Prince and Támar Davis]
Baby ooh
Yes
Let's go

[Verse 1: Prince and Támar Davis]
I've been waiting for you baby all night long
I've been waiting for you baby all night long
So I could get somebody to play this song
Come on
The jam has got a beat like it's making love
The jam has got a beat like it's making love
'Cause your the only one I've been thinking of
Oh yeah
Whoa

[Chorus: Prince and Támar Davis]
Come into my room of incense and candles
I've got something that you won't know how to handle
You can tell me nuh-uh but you know how this man do
I'ma want it all night long

[Post-Chorus: Támar Davis & Prince]
Come on, come on
I want it all night long

[Verse 2: Prince and Támar Davis]
I'm glad we're compatible, mature and grown
Mature and grown
'Cause this is not something you can do alone
Oh, there's a dance floor, but we can use a table
(Yes we can)
I've gotta have a partner that's willing and able
Willing and able

[Chorus: Prince and Támar Davis]
Come into my room of incense and candles
I've got something that you won't know how to handle
You can tell me nuh-uh but you know how this man do
I'ma want it all night long

[Bridge 1: Prince and Támar Davis]
Once you try to seduce me, it grows and grows
Your mind will never deny what your body knows
I know you want to take off all your clothes
But please don't do it

[Verse 3: Prince and Támar Davis]
I got a cool idea, my darling, let's go outside
I wanna smother you with something shiny as the rims upon my ride
I wanna look for the milky way and, uh, when I find it
I'm going to make you scream my name as if it was divine
(Prince)
But we both know that we gotta praise the one who made ya
Give props to your mama for the healthy food she must have gave ya
For the meek at heart these words they might sound like a sinner
But the truth is that you're sitting on every one of your dinners
But that's fine, 'cause I'm blind
About blind as a cat in the dark
It might come to in the morning after roaming in the park
Hard to understand always changing plans
Harder than hell to handle
One scent alone make it worth your while the price of Prince's candle

[Bridge 2: Prince and Támar Davis]
All night
Circles of flowers or pyramids of sand
Violet colored diamonds
You got to understand
Incense and candles
Wherever you can
You got to make this woman
Lust for this man

[Chorus: Prince and Támar Davis]
Come into my room of incense and candles
I've got something that you won't know how to handle
(Come on, come on)
You can tell me na-uh but you know how this man do
I'ma want it all night long
(All night long)
Come into my room of incense and candles
I've got something that you won't know how to handle
(Come on, come on)
You can tell me na-uh but you know how this man do
I'ma want it all night long
(Oooh)
Come into my room of incense and candles
I've got something that you won't know how to handle
You can tell me na-uh but you know how this man do
I'ma want it all night long
(All night long)
Come into my room of incense and candles
I've got something that you won't know how to handle
(Come on, come on)
You can tell me na-uh but you know how this man do
I'ma want it all night long

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.
