O álbum 2 dos 25 mais da revista Spin: Sign "☮" the Times (Prince)

Sign "☮" the Times é a música do álbum de mesmo nome (de 1987) que ficou em segundo lugar na lista dos 25 melhores álbuns do últimos 25 anos da revista Spin. Construída quase toda com um sintetizador bem como com uma guitarra entre o blues e o funk-rock, Sign "☮" the Times fala de vários problemas sócio-políticos incluindo AIDS, violência juvenil, pobreza, drogas e a posssibilidade do  holocausto nuclear.

Outra música especial do álbum é If I was your girlfriend (Se eu fosse sua amiga), onde um homem reflete sobre como seria mais íntimo seu relacionamento com sua namorada se ele fosse sua amiga. Abaixo do segundo vídeo, a letra de If I was your girlfriend.







If I was your girlfriend
Would U remember 2 tell me all the things U forgot
When I was your man?
Hey, when I was your man


If I was your best friend
Would U let me take care of U and do all the things
That only a best friend can
Only best friends can

If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend


If I was your girlfriend
Would U let me dress U
I mean, help U pick out your clothes
Before we go out
Not that you're helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things that bein' in love's about


If I was your one and only friend
Would U run 2 me if somebody hurt U
Even if that somebody was me?
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
Please

If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend

Would U let me wash your hair
Could I make U breakfast sometime
Or then, could we just hang out, I mean
Could we go 2 a movie and cry together
Cuz 2 me baby that would be so fine

If I was your girlfriend
Baby can I dress U
I mean, help U pick out your clothes
Before we go out
(If I was your girlfriend)
Listen girl, I ain't sayin you're helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things that bein' in love's about (sugar)

Sugar do U know what I'm saying 2 U this evening? (sugar)
Maybe U think I'm being
a little self-centered (if I was your girlfriend)
But I, I said I want 2 be (sugar)
all of the things U are 2 me (sugar)
Surely, surely U can see (if I was your girlfriend)

{title repeated in background}}

Is it really necessary 4 me 2 go out of the room
just because U wanna undress?
I mean, we don't have 2 make children 2 make love
And then, we don't have 2 make love 2 have an orgasm
Your body's what I'm all about
Can I see U?
I'll show U
Why not?
U can think it's because I'm your friend I'll do it 4 U
Of course I'll undress in front of U!
And when I'm naked, what shall I do?
How can I make U see that it's cool?
Can't U just trust me?
If I was your girlfriend U could
Oh, yeah, I think so
Listen, 4 U naked I would dance a ballet
Would that get U off?
Then tell me what will!
If I was your girlfriend, would U tell me?
Would U let me see U naked then?
Would U let me give U a bath?
Would U let me tickle U so hard U'd laugh and laugh
And would U, would U let me kiss U there
You know down there where it counts
I'll do it so good I swear I'll drink every ounce
And then I'll hold U tight and hold U long
And together we'll stare into silence
And we'll try 2 imagine what it looks like
Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what silence looks like

I should I would
I still can B
I'am
that girl that only
you can see!
I'am she
The woman that was meant to B
your girl you see

to the delicate of touch
to the softest of hugs
I am yours
widely unforgotten trust

I am yours
I am saving myself for U
I am not a virgin but i'm
sure you can uderstand
that this love inside of me
has never been touched by another man
I have never given this Love away

we were both tested by the god above
yes we will
b in Love
you WIN MY LOVE
YOU ARE MY LOVER
and forever my friend
NOW WHEN?
