Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prince signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, soon releasing the albums For You (1978) and Prince (1979). He went on to achieve critical success with the influential albums Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). His sixth album, Purple Rain (1984), was recorded with his new backing band the Revolution, and was also the soundtrack to the film of the same name in which he starred. Purple Rain garnered continued success for Prince and was a major commercial achievement, spending six consecutive months atop the Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack also won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. After disbanding the Revolution, Prince released the album Sign o' the Times (1987), widely hailed by critics as the greatest work of his career. In the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol logo. Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar (known to fans as the "Love Symbol") and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist.
After signing with Arista Records in 1998, Prince reverted to his original name in 2000. Over the next decade, six of his albums entered the U.S. top 10 charts. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was a prolific musician who released 39 albums during his life, with a vast array of unreleased material left in a custom-built bank vault underneath his home after his death, including fully completed albums and over 50 finished music videos. He also released songs under multiple pseudonyms during his life, as well as writing songs that were made popular after being covered by other musicians, most notably "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. Estimates of the complete number of songs written by Prince range anywhere from 500 to well over 1,000. Released posthumously, his demo albums Piano and a Microphone 1983 (2018) and Originals (2019) both received critical acclaim.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. His awards included the Grammy President's Merit Award, the American Music Awards for Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and was inducted twice into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022.

Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to call you now
But we're not on speaking terms
I want to call you
I want to call you now
But we're not on speaking terms
I want to call you
I want to call you now
I want to call you
I want to call you now
But we're not on speaking terms
I met this girl
I like her so much
We're not regular, we both not regular
And I like her so much
We gone make it work
We gone make it work
I met this girl
I like her so much
We're not regular, we both not regular
And I like her so much
We gone make it work
We gone make it work
I met this girl
I like her so much
We're not regular, we both not regular
And I like her so much
We gone make it work
We gone make it work
In the song Girls, Prince is expressing his desire to reach out to a girl he likes but unfortunately, they are not on speaking terms. However, his feelings for her are so strong that he wants to pick up the phone and call her immediately. He repeats this line multiple times throughout the song to emphasize his urgency in talking to her.
The lyrics also touch on the fact that their relationship is not a typical one. He describes them as "not regular" and not conforming to societal norms. Despite this, he is confident that they can make their unconventional relationship work. This could be interpreted as Prince's desire to defy traditional standards of romance and find happiness in a way that is uniquely his own.
Throughout the song, Prince conveys his passion and infatuation for this girl, using repetition to emphasize his feelings. He is optimistic about their future together and seems determined to make things work despite any obstacles that may arise.

They loved 2 kiss on the steps of Versailles
It looked like rain, mama, birds do fly

He gave her all the love that anyone can,

No - Bowie was. Prince was the Ravel.
@achosenvessel6563
richard lafferty: Bowie was nowhere near as talented as Prince......Prince could do it all.
@christophertracy7272
Yep, that the truth. Even Eric Clapton said that if U want a better guitar player ask Prince!
