[Verse 1 - Lead Vocal (Backing Vocal)]
Come
(Come)
Closer
(Closer)
Feel
(Put your hand on my thigh)
What you been dyin' for
(Higher and higher)
Don't be afraid, baby
(Even in between)
Touch it
(Wherever you want, it's alright)
And explode
(I don't mind 'cause you so fine)
Understand, understand
(You so sensual)
That I love you
(When I first saw you on the dance floor mama)
Ah, but more than that
(I just had to)
I want you
(Ooh, over and over)
Everybody always told me
(Desire)
Good things come to those who wait
(You and me, pumpin the electric intercourse)
But I've got so much on the menu
I just can't
(Ooh the fantasy)
I just can't, I can't wait, baby
(Can we please do it?)
I can't wait, baby
(Let's do it by the mirror baby so I can see what I wanna see)
I wanna wrap my legs all around you girl
(Be what I want to be)
(I wanna suck your every emotion)
‘Cause sugar, you know you're just the kind of lover
(Right straight outta your mind)
That I've been lookin' for
(And then wrap my legs around you, mama)
Tonight why don't we skip all the foreplay, mama
(And then slide in you one more time)
And just get down here on the floor
(Ooh please!)

[Chorus]
Scandalous, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
Marvelous, baby, baby, can't you see?
(Everything you ever dreamed of)
Anything you ever dreamed of
(Do it all and so much more)
I'm willing to be
Tonight is gonna be scandalous
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be your fantasy

Dear, oh, oh (Ooh baby)
My dearest, my dearest (Oooh)

[Bridge]
Talk to me, pretty warm thing
(Whisper)
Tell me when you come one time
Talk to me, pretty warm thing
It's alright, it's alright
Hold me tight, don't you stop tonight
Let's do it baby till the mornin' light
Talk to me, pretty warm thing
It's alright, it's alright

[Bridge over (Chorus)]
Talk to me, pretty warm thing
(Scandalous, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me)
Tell me when you come one time
Talk to me, pretty warm thing
(Marvelous, baby, baby, can't you see?)
It's alright, it's alright
Hold me tight, don't you stop tonight
(Anything you ever dreamed of, I'm willing to be)
Let's do it baby till the mornin' light
(Tonight is gonna be scandalous)
Talk to me, pretty warm thing
('Cause tonight I'm gonna be your fantasy)
It's alright, it's alright

[Ad lib + Modified Chorus]
Baby (Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
Anything you ever dreamed of, baby, just ask me, I'll do, ooh
Anything at all
Spirits rise and spirits fall

Scandalous, (ooh)
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
Marvelous
Baby, baby, can't you see?

[Outro]
Baby, baby, I love when you talk to me
Tell me what I wanna hear, talk to me
So much I want to do with you honey, can't you see? (Scandalous)
So just talk to me, pretty warm thing (Marvelous)
Suck your electric ocean
Sail your virgin sea
Baby, baby, baby, yeah don't you wanna be with me?
Everything you dreamed of
Shhh
I will do

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.
