[Verse 1]
I think about it baby all the time, all right
It feels so good it must be a crime, all right
I want to do it baby every day, all right
In a bed, on the stairs, anywhere, all right

[Chorus]
I want to do it baby all the time, all right
Because when we do it girl, it's so divine, all right

[Verse 2]
I could be guilty for my honesty, (all right)
But I've got to tell you what you mean to me, (all right) all right
With you I swear, I'm a maniac, all right
You see it ain't no joke, just a natural fact, all right (all right)

[Chorus]
I want to do it baby all the time, all right
Because when we do it girl, it's so divine, all right
Doing it, doing it
Doing it, doing it

[Verse 2]
I could be guilty for my honesty, all right
But I gotta, I've got to tell you what you mean to me, all right
Yeah, I wanna

[Chorus]
I want to do it baby all the time, all right, yeah
'Cause when we do it girl, it's so divine, all right
I want to do it baby all the time, all right, yeah
You see it ain't no joke, it's so divine, all right, all right
I want to do you baby all the time, all right, yeah
'Cause when we do it girl, it's so divine, all right

[Verse 3]
You wanna think about it
You wanna think about it baby, all the time
(Think about it all the time) fucking on your mind
(Feels so good, must be a crime)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Outro]
Doing it, doing it
Doing it, doing it
(Come on)
(Come on)

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.
