[Intro: Eve and Prince]
Mmm, uh, c'mon
NPG, Ruff Ryders, uh
Mmm, c'mon
The greatest romance ever sold
Mmm, uh-huh, huh
C'mon E-V-E

[Verse 1: Eve and Prince]
Uh yo, your eyes seem to whisper into ecstasy
For a long time I never let a soul next to me
Melted all over your frame and tested me
Handled it, honestly, my brain, you scrambled it
Your Adam
You said you'd like to be my Adam, I needed that
In your life forever I stayed but you pleaded that
Made you mine, how could you ever leave I?
E-V-E created new feelings the first believe I
Embrace what?
Embrace your whole being, your soul I took over
I became your queen, you to me, my knight, my love solider
Enjoy my fruit, juice is abundant, I have plenty
I never had to think twice, I'm urs along for life simply
Conquer all, breathe for each other you'll never find
No love is as warm or as deep or as enticin' as mine
I'll control you, know you, you'll die without me
Enough said, nothin' is temptin' as Eve, never doubt me
Make it alone without ya?
Huh, clever
You's got the tight puller, I got the lever
Sweet drops of rain I am to your umbrella
Together we make the remix a big seller

[Chorus: Prince and Eve]
The greatest romance that's ever been sold
Never doubt me, come on
The greatest romance that's ever been sold
Never doubt me, uh uh
Mmm, never ever
Mmm, uh, c'mon
NPG
Welcome to the garden
C'mon

[Verse 2: Prince]
One day you'll get outside the doo-rag
When you really want to contemplate this jacked up
Paranormal situation that your people got into
Can I hip you?
Long ago who considered the outcome?
Now I'm thinking that a cat like you would be troublesome
And sock you in the mind tangling curriculum
Stations of play, remote control, of the landscape till they both know
Bills bills bills, listen to why you're quarrelsome
While 40 percent of your fathers are absent and many bail behind the opium
And the only tune you seem to wanna hum are platinum

[Pre-Chorus: Prince and Eve]
And this is where you end
This is where you end, baby
Yo
And you and I begin
Yoy and I begin
C'mon c'mon

[Chorus: Prince and Eve]
The greatest romance that's ever been sold
Never doubt me, come on
Whoa
The greatest romance that's ever been sold
Never doubt me, uh uh
Never ever

[Outro: Eve and Prince]
Mmm, uh, c'mon
NPG, Ruff Ryders, uh
C'mon c'mon
Ooh, you like that?
Uh, c'mon...
The greatest romance that's ever been sold
Uh
It's time 4 Adam and Eve to unite and stop the fightin'
So let's stop the fightin', y'all
The greatest romance that's ever been sold

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.
