It makes my friends
wince
that I've become
obsessed with Prince
He's The One, and I'm
convinced
and it started ever
since...
He took to the stage
and despite his
middle-age
he struck a chord – I
was amazed,
and his eyes, they held
my gaze.
I melted on the floor
thunderstruck and in
such awe
that a man of such
slight stature
could take my heart
capture.
I almost felt in pain
when he closed with
Purple Rain
(although I did get
confetti in my eye
now I know why doves
cry...)
And so my heart was set
as fixed as you could
ever get,
and at the age of
twenty-six
I'd discovered love of Prince.
And from this
monumental day
(it was the 23rd
of May)
I knew that we were
meant to be
if only he would notice
me.
I started every morn at
9
with a little 1999
(Until my dreams about
the apocalypse
and freaky purple
skies).
And before I went to
bed
I'd dance the whole of
'Little Red
Corvette'
and yet
he has a private jet,
I'd bet!
My friends were beside
themselves
and worried for my
health
they threatened to have
me sectioned
and planned a
PRINCE-tervention...
But what they didn't
realise
was that my heart was
telling lies
and that my new found
infatuation
was a blessing in
disguise.
You see I needed a way
to start
to heal my broken heart
and an unrealistic
attraction
was the perfect
distraction
from the pain that I
still felt
and the purple one, he
helped.
So yes he's older than
my Dad
and yes, I am a little
mad,
but Prince, you see...
he's not so bad
he gave me focus, made
me glad.
So I'll be thankful for
the funk and roll
that fixed my heart and
soothed my soul.
No, don't take it out
on Mr Nelson
because in winning my
affection
he stepped inside my
crazy brain
and occupied my full
attention.
He gave me something to
take away
from all the hurt and
all the pain,
so maybe you could let
it slide
just this once, it
could pass by?
I'll try to hold in all
fun facts,
although this is a
mammoth task
(Like, I bet you didn't
know it's true
he wrote Nothing
Compares To You)
And in the meantime,
please be satisfied
that I know, I could
never lie
Prince isn't The One,
and do you know why?
Because he's-
Nah, I can't think of a
reason.
He's The One isn't he?
Yep.
