[Intro]
New Power, New Power, give it to me
Oh, it need some bottom in here
Lay it on me

[Verse 1]
Everybody on the block say it is the best
The most vital is what they say, more or less
It put my name upon my thigh
It makes me dance, It makes me cry
And when I touch it race cars burn rubber in my pants

[Chorus]
This feeling's so good in every single way
I want it morning, noon and night of every day
And if by chance I can not have it, I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away
Kiss away

[Verse 2]
Dig me now
Anyone that's ever touched it
They don't want anything else (no they don't)
And I got to tell the world
I just can't keep it to myself
All in life becomes easier
No question is unresolved
And I'm not afraid
Come on and touch it, I know you will love it
With it I know that heaven's a butterfly kiss away

[Chorus]
This feeling's so good in every single way
I want it morning, noon and night of every day
And if by chance I can not have it - I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away
Kiss away

[Bridge]
Lovesexy
Lovesexy
Rain is wet, sugar is sweet
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Everybody, everybody knows (Lovesexy)
When love calls, you got to go
Lovesexy

[Verse 3]
Tonight we make love with only words
Girls first, girls first
OK so like first I would start by telling you how
Smart and intelligent the curve your behind is
And then I can tell you that I can just smell you
And race cars burn rubber in my pants
But I really dig tripping on the thought of
Being caught by someone with your beauty, style, and grace
Baby I don't care I would rip out my hair
For just two nights with your face
I don't want to make love to you
I just want to look at you
I just want to listen to you

[Verse 4]
Oh, pretty little whip, you got me dripping
Dripping all over the floor, the floor
If I come back as a woman, I want a body like yours
A body like yours
Living rooms
I think, I think you would
I think you want to play house
Yeah, I think you want to play house
(Lovesexy)

[Breakdown]
You don't mind
I think you
I think you want me to (beep) inside of you
You want (Lovesexy) me to suck around your living room
Ha Ha
Yeah, you
You want me to walk right down your halls
Mmm hmmm
(Lovesexy)

[Outro]
You want me to swivel in your love seat
Don't you baby?
You want me to write my name on your walls
You want me to write my name
Lovesexy
We make love with only words
I'll make love to you, tomorrow
Sweet dreams

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.
