[Chorus]
Good love, you gotta
Baby, in the heat of the night
You know what to do
Good love, you gotta
Cherry pie, apple kisses
Everything is cool

[Verse 1]
Technicolor children in Piccadilly Square
Whisper words, erotica, when you kiss me there
Gustav Mahler #3 is jamming on the box
I'll have another glass of you, this time on the rocks

Fourth of July in every stroke
A symphony of light and sound
Oh, I want to die from all the smoke
Fire breaks out when you're around

[Chorus]
Good love, you gotta, yeah
Baby, in the heat of the night
You know what to do
Good love, you gotta, yeah
Cherry pie, apple kisses
Everything is cool

[Verse 2]
It brings a flash to my heart just the thought of you
Plethora of euphoria in everything you do
Any place to zero, you are number one
Baby, in the heat of the night, you're my favorite fun

You and I in each others arms (You and I - each others arms)
Here is another world (Here I'm protected)
Here I'm protected from all harm
Only the naked boy and girl

[Chorus]
Good love, yeah
Baby, in the heat of the night
You know what to do
Good love, yeah (Ooh)
Cherry pie, apple kisses
Everything is cool, cool, cool (Cool)

[Bridge]
Alright, we going say good love
Right here (Good love)
Yeah
Gustav Mahler #3 jamming on the box
You wanna rock? (Why not?)

[Chorus]
(Good love) - Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Oh baby, in the heat of the night
You know what to do, don't cha?
Good love, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Cherry pie, apple kisses
Everything is cool, cool
Every little funky damn thing is kicking (Good love)

[Verse 3]
Oh my Lord (Oh my Lord)
My Lord (My Lord)
(Good love, yeah)
Baby, you got the, you got the, you got the good love, yeah
In the heat of the night
You know it's alright (Yeah)
Good love, yeah
Good love, honey baby
Good love, yeah yeah yeah (Yeah)
Cherry pie, apple kisses
Everything is cool, everything is cool
Cool

[Bridge]
Good Love, Part 2 (La la la la, la la la)
Good Love, Part 2 (La la la la, la la la)
Part 2
Do It
Come on
That's how I like it, come on

[Outro]
Technicolor junkie in a funky square (Yeah)
Good love talking when yo kissing me there (Yeah)
Gustav Mahler jamming on the box (Yeah, yeah)
Teenage junkie got his foot on the rock: get off!
You got to, you got to get good love
Good love
You got to, you got to get good love
Yeah, good love
Gustav

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.
