The lyrics suggest that the listener is ready to create some excitement and is no longer content to be a follower. Prince encourages the listener to showcase their talent and wear their uniqueness on their sleeve, โYou're so cool, everything you do is success. Oh, make the rules, then break them all because you are the best.โ
The chorus is the best-known part of the song, with its catchy hook and playful dance moves. Prince sings, โCream, get on top. Cream, you will cop. Cream, don't you stop. Cream, shaboo, shaboo!โ. The lyrics are simple but incredibly effective. Lyrics appear sexually suggestive, Prince manages to make it playful, which makes it okay to listen to in public without feeling awkward. The verses then encourage the listener to let go of their inhibitions and take chances on themselves, with a guitar solo and funky bassline adding to the musical atmosphere.

Prince was one of a kind. We will never have another one of him.
@evancampbell8894
We must love them before theyโre gone if we can
@user-lu1qt4lc2b
What a legend!!!!โคโคโค still listening in 2024!!!
@kennethrutledge-gi3ul
This is the reason the music of today can't , won't and never compete with this music. Absolutely pure genius
@lucas82
Such a ridiculously talented man. Amazing voice, killer dance moves, great songwriter, insane amount of game, and, if the legend is to be believed, a good basketball player too.
@henrirennet9306
How many albums did you sell by yourself ?
@KundoKun
It's all about being confident in yourself and not conforming to others' expectations. Prince encourages us to take risks and follow our own path to success.
@Brian2017
Exactly
@giuseppelibertino6714
Prince was the only man who could wear high heels and lipstick, and still take your woman.
@johanjonsson3591
And then i would be mad, Not that for he took my Woman but for not taking Me!
