[Spoken Intro]
Hey, sugar
I know it’s been a minute
But I got to, I got to get up
Come on
Let’s talk about what you got

I don’t think you understand
It makes me
Can I talk a lil’ bit, oh
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Baby, you got something that would make
A many brother mighty proud
I gotta say it loud (I got to say it loud)
You got a dozen little sexy tricks
That a dozen cities in this U.S. won’t, won't even allow
Never do you boast like the other chicks
Who think they’re fine and loved, said loved the floor
And what I dig the most is that you keep it in your hand
Until I, until I, until I want it

[Chorus]
If ever, whenever you need someone to take a shower with
Call me up please
Extra lovable, honey don’t you wanna, don’t you wanna
Take a bath with me?

[Verse 2]
Baby, you could turn anybody on, I wait my turn however long
Even if it takes eternity
Time can pass away but every day I make a play
Just hear you say the same about me
Baby, I know my rap is strong
Not as strong as your perfume
That’s okay, I like it
Not as much as I would like a chance to see you dancing naked
Oh, I’d really want to see you dance

[Chorus]
If ever, whenever you need someone to take a shower with
Call me up please
Extra lovable, honey don’t you wanna, don’t you wanna
Take a bath with me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Sugar baby, you’re so fine
But see, you had me meet between the lines
Might be kinda popular but if you want, I’m yours
You can ask what we’re gonna do
I think you’d better shut the door

You know what I’m talking about, baby
Oh, let me hear you say
Come on
Scandalous

[Chorus]
If ever, whenever you need someone to take a shower with
Call me up please
Extra lovable, honey don’t you wanna, don’t you wanna
Take a bath with me?

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.
