[Verse 1]
Here we are in this big old empty room
Staring each other down
You want me just as much as I want you
Let's stop fooling around

Take me baby, kiss me all over
Play with my love
Bring out what's been in me for far too long
Baby, you know that's all I've been dreaming of

[Chorus]
Do me baby, like you never done before
Give it to me till I just can't take no more
Come on and do me baby, like you never done before
I want you now, I just can't wait no more, can't wait

[Verse 2]
Here we are looking for a reason
You to lay me down
For a love like ours is never out of season
So baby please stop teasing me

What you do, I can never love no other
You're the best I ever had
Whenever we're not close to one another
I just want you so bad

[Chorus]
Do me baby, like you never done before
Give it to me till I just can't take no more
Come on and do me baby, like you never done before
I want you now, I just can't wait no more, can't wait

[Bridge]
Do, do, do, do me baby
(Do me baby)
Do me baby all night long
(Give it to me)
Do me baby
I want you now
Do me baby
Give it to me
(Do me baby)
Do me baby, don't want to do it all alone
I want your love
Do me baby
Give it to me
(Do me baby)
This feeling is too strong, make me wait too long
(I want you now)

[Outro]
You're leaving me no choice
Okay, what are you going to do
You just going to sit there and watch?
Alright
Are you sure you don't want to close your eyes?
Well, isn't it supposed to take a long time?
I'm not going to stop until the war is over
Help me!
There okay, okay
I'm so cold, just hold me

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.
