[Intro]
This song's about time
I said it's about time
About time with you
Alright
I think it's bout time
That I got time
Alone with you
Alone with you

[Verse 1: Andy Allo]
I think I'm running out of patience
I think I'm running out of lies
I think its bout time I tell the truth
Instead of these alibis

[Chorus: Prince & Andy Allo]
Well, I think its bout time
That I got time
Alone with you
'Cause you're so fine
When I get mine
Baby you can too

[Verse 2: Prince & Andy Allo]
No more peace and quiet
I wonder why
A party full of drunken fools
I bet the sound will be the rushing tide
Splashin' all over you
I don't wanna work another day baby
(No no stay with me)
I wish u could stay with me
(Stay with me)
I don't think it matters anyway
(It don't matter girl)
For you I'm as rich as I could be
Baby baby

[Chorus: Prince & Andy Allo]
Oh, I think its bout time
That I got time
Alone with you
I know, I know
'Cause you're so fine
When I get mine
Baby you can too
Sho nuff

[Verse 3: Prince]
Sugar, well I'm thinking
That you really need to be my pet
Oh really?
And let me put you in my little cage, c'mon
I'm sick and tired of playing hard to get
With an animal that's half my age
Sugar, well well
My head's a little dizzy
My head's spinning around and around
Another dirty hotel room
Another lonely town
I need some time to rest
I need some time with you
This is what it feels like
I know what I wanna do
This is what it feels like
Gonna lemme tell you one time

[Chorus: Prince & Andy Allo]
Well, I think its bout time
That I got time
Alone with you
Baby, baby
'Cause you're so fine
When I get mine
Baby you can too
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4: Prince]
Oh oh, I think I need you to be my girl
Travel with me around the world
Baby baby
So's on paper this works out fine
So fine, so fine
But not half as fine
As when I get time
With you

[Chorus: Prince & Andy Allo]
Well, I think its bout time
That I got time
Alone with you
'Cause you're so fine
When I get mine
Baby you can too
Keep breakin' you down
Down down down
So fine
Get mine
Baby you can too

[Outro: Prince & Andy Allo]
You, you, you, you
Baby, baby you can too
So fine
Get mine
So fine
Get mine
Baby, baby you can too

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.
