Let's hear it for the Ladies

First let me say that I hate Radio.

Ok. Said it.

There was this period for about 10 years (long time right) where I was disconnected from music. I was so caught up in life that I really couldn't connect, listen to and be involved as I normally would have. I missed ALOT. I'm trying to catch up.

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
