[Intro]
Ow, ow
Stop it baby

[Verse 1]
You are a VIP at least to me
Come here and show me some ID
I know you're fine from head to pumps
If you were mine we'd bump bump bump

You're much too young to peep my stash
You're trying to write checks your body can't cash
You can't hang with this, girl, look out

[Chorus]
Lolita, you're sweeter
But you'll never make a cheater out of me
Watch out now

[Verse 2]
Cool together, yes, I must admit
Long time ago, we'd be the shh... uh oh
Like Frank and Ava, we'd paint the town
Just on the floor, gettin' way down

Dom Perignon and caviar
The finest clothes and fancy cars
You know, one of them '56 pink caddies, baby
Oh, look out

[Chorus]
Lolita, you're sweeter
But you'll never make a cheater out of me
No, you won't, c;mon
Lolita

[Verse 3]
Your eyes, your mouth
Your curly hair
You're bad no doubt
I must beware
You get a brother in trouble, girl

Lolita, you're sweeter
But I won't mislead you
I'll feed you, if it'll please you
But then I'll say "see you"
You are a fine, mama mia
But you'll never ever ever
No, you'll never ever ever
No, you'll never make a cheater out of me

[Breakdown]
Fellas! (yeah?)
How bad is this girl? (bad)
Then what you want to do? (whatever you want)
Then come on let's dance (dance)
Then come on let's dance! (dance)
Fellas! (yeah?)
How bad is this girl? (bad)
Then what you want to do? (whatever you want)
Then come on let's dance (dance)

Lolita (yeah?)
How bad are you, girl? (bad)
Then what you want to do? (whatever you want)
Then come on let's dance (dance)
Lolita (yeah?)
How bad are you, girl? (bad)
Then what you want to do? (whatever you want)
Then come on let's dance (dance)

[Outro]
Imagine me on the tip of your tongue
If I took a sip then I would be on the run
Hellhounds barking around my door
Eye can't sip you once 'less I sip you some more
Lolita
Better get out of here
Unless you want to dance

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.
