[Verse 1]
Oooh...
There I go again falling in love all over
Oooh...
The cycle never ends
You just pray you don't get burned
Oooh...
This fire inside of me, don't nobody realize
Oooh...
What you are to me, but baby you got to learn

[Chorus]
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
You got to know how I feel about cha
How I'll always want you near
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
I'm counting every minute
Of every hour 'til you are here

[Verse 2]
Girl, can't you understand
I never used to go dancing
I, I was the kind of man who'd rather stay at home
Now, when I think about how much I miss you
I want to jump for joy and thank Him I'm not alone (I am not alone)

[Chorus]
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
You got to know how I feel about cha
How I always want you near
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
I'm gonna count every minute
Of every hour 'til you are here, oooohh

[Verse 3]
Here I go again falling in love all over
Oh, the cycle never ends
You pray you don't get burned, ow

[Chorus]
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
(I'm, I'm making you a coat of cashmere
Baby, cashmere)
You got to know how I feel about cha (You got to know, yeah)
How I always want you near
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
(How I feel about you, how I feel about you, oh)
I'm counting every minute of every hour
'Til you are here

When I get my arms around you, baby
There's so many things I wanna do
I'm gonna hold you
I'm gonna kiss you
Like you... like you...

I'm gonna tell you a bedtime story, baby
One you never heard before
I said, one you never heard before
About a girl, about a boy
And all the joy
All the things that you enjoy
How to stay in love, how to stay so happy
Baby girl, there's so many things
So many things I wanna do
I wanna...
I wanna...
I wanna...I wanna...I wanna...I wanna...
I wanna make you a pretty, pretty coat of cashmere
Cause you got to know how I feel about you, baby
How I feel about you, baby
I'm gonna make a little pretty coat
I'm gonna count every second, every minute
Each and every hour of every day
'Til you come on back
Come on back to your little man

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.
