Prince Lyrics - Strange Relationships


When it comes to relationships, Prince has a remarkable way of personifying it with both his music and the imagery he uses in his lyrics.  Here follows a snippet of "When You Were Mine" from Dirty Mind 1980.

"When you were mine
You were kinda sorta my best friend
So I was blind (so blind)
I let you fool around
I never cared (didn't care)
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleeping in between the two of us"
