    Lyrics:
    This is it
    It's time for you to go to the wire
    You will hit
    'Cause you got the burnin' desire
    It's your time (Time)
    You got the horn so why don't you blow it
    You are fine (Fine)
    You're filthy cute and baby you know it
    Cream
    Get on top
    Cream
    You will cop
    Cream
    Don't you stop
    Cream
    Sh-boogie bop
    You're so good
    Baby there ain't nobody better (Ain't nobody better)
    So you should
    Never, ever go by the letter (Never ever)
    You're so cool (Cool)
    Everything you do is success
    Make the rules (Rules)
    Then break them all 'cause you are the best
    Yes you are
    Cream
    Get on top
    Cream
    You will cop
    Cream
    Don't you stop
    Cream
    Sh-boogie bop
    Look up in the air, it's your guitar
    Do your dance
    Why should you wait any longer?
    Take a chance
    It could only make you stronger
    It's your time (It's your time)
    You got the horn so why don't you blow it (Go on and blow it)
    You're so fine (you're so fine)
    You're filthy cute and baby you know it (you know it)
    Cream
    Get on top
    Cream
    You will cop
    Cream
    Don't you ever stop
    Cream
    Sh-boogie bop
    Cream
    Cream
    Cream
    Sh-boogie bop
    Cream
    Cream
    Right there
    Cream
    Don't you stop
    Cream
    Sh-boogie bop
    Sh-boogie

      @@amandapoore-counts536 Talent comes in all forms, There has been many mucisians that have awesome talent. Prince was just a true mucisian, he sang from the heart and was able to express himself through music. He understood music and how all instraments accent the other. In my opinion any mucisian that never sings the song the same way twice are the geniuses. If you belive in your heart in the music story you are telling people will hear that and follow. That's the difference between a cookie cutter and a baker.

    A friend of mine used to provide security for stage areas/performers on behalf of a concert promoter in the UK in the 90s. Prince was touring and was hit by a sudden strike by roadies and crew not specific to Prince but affecting his final set up of instruments and monitors on stage. My friend was a tall bald intimidating looking Scotsman who was on security on stage and he saw Prince personally tune and set up each instrument and monitor personally, and expertly linked up with the mixing desk so he could perform that night. Prince asked him to help move/ set up the heavier items and he was so full of admiration and respect for Princes attitude and competence and work ethic that he helped him as he was not a member of the union on strike. He said Prince was quite strong for a "little guy in heels" and enjoyed his sense of humour even under pressure, he was also impressed that Prince wasnt bothered by his own rather formidable appearance and was happy to speak with him. I love that insight, it dosnt surprise me.

      He felt he was rushing into expressing lyrics and was not ready as of yet to go into next line of song and wanted to give it more time so made expression as not ready because wanted everyone to feel lyrics.. Was not so much everyone singing off tune in sense.. People in entertainment know more of what I mean.. It was a way of expressing too good to go there with rush so soon.. I am interested in entertainment and understand concept of entertaining so picked up on concept of it..

    Taylor guitars was a client of mine; we photographed the guitars for their catalog. One day the Art Director called me over to the side of Taylor's lobby and said "check it out", pointing to a new case. I opened it and was looking at the most beautiful purple custom Taylor acoustic. She whispered "go on, try it out", and I played it for a few minutes. Beautiful guitar. I put the guitar back in the case and as she closed it and gave it to the shipping manager, she said "You just got to play Prince's new custom Taylor". The guitar in this video. That's kinda cool. Thank you Prince. We miss you terribly.
