[Intro]
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da

[Verse 1]
There comes a time in every man's life
When he gets tired of fooling around
Juggling hearts in a three-ring circus
Someday drive a body down to the ground
I never imagined that love would rain on me
And make me wanna settle down

[Pre-Chorus]
But baby, it's true, I think I do
And I just want to tell you that I wanna with you
Baby, if you do too

[Chorus]
Oh, forever, forever
Baby, I want you forever
I wanna keep you the rest of my life
All that's wrong in my world, you can make right
You are my savior, you are my light
Forever I want you in my life

[Refrain]
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da

[Verse 2]
There comes a road in every man's journey
A road that he's afraid to walk on his own
I'm here to tell you that I'm at that road
And I'd rather walk it with you, than walk it alone
You are my hero, you are my future
When I'm with you, I have no past
Baby, my one and only desire
Is find some way in this doggone world
To make this feeling last

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause, sugar, it's true, huh, I know I do
Baby, I just wanna tell you I wanna with you

[Chorus]
And I'm forever, forever
Baby, I want you forever
I wanna keep you for the rest of my life
Whatever's wrong in my world, you can make right
You are my savior, you are my light
Forever I want you in my life

[Refrain]
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da

[Breakdown]
Never imagined that love would rain on me
And make me wanna settle down
Forever, forever (I think I do)
I just wanna say that I wanna with you
And baby, I think you do too (Forever in my life)
For, forever, forever
I want you, baby, forever (Forever in my life)
I want, I want ya all my life
Whatever is wrong in my world (Oh yeah, hold up)
Oh, you can make right
You are my savior, you are my light
Forever, baby, I want you in my life, oh
(Forever in my life)
(Forever in my life) Huh, huh
Huh, huh
Woah, woah, huh
Woah, woah, huh
Woah, woah
Come on, everybody
Woah, woah
Come on, sing
Woah, woah, come on
Woah, woah, come on
Over there, huh
Woah, woah
Right here, huh
Woah, woah
In my life, forever, baby, baby
(Forever in my life)
(Forever in my life)
Forever (Forever in my life)
In my life

[Outro]
Forever in my life
Forever, ooh

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.
