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.

If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life-easymp3s
Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I was the man in your life
I'd make you happy
I'd treat you right
I'd buy you flowers every single day
I'd Give you power
I'd do whatever you say
And you're so vain you'd think that you're the 1 behind this song
Sure you know he got plenty lyrics, yeah, up his sleeve
And after he got what he want he just go up and leave
And Sunday chocolate on the roof right after his game
He like the Lakers but the Sixers on when he came
If he's with another now you best believe the party's cracking
You're getting played girl, you better get your mack on
And do onto others as they do onto you
You call me on the day that you and him are just to through
[Chorus]
Was it you that I saw outside the liquor store
Waiting on that fool to purchase what you'd been dying for?
And before I see you drop a spill I have to bring you down
Now you got that chocolate barracuda hangin' round
Hangin' round your neck like a cheap gold chain
He don't deserve to say that he ever knew you're name
Much less he get to smell the perfume I gave you
Please don't tell me that you all got down
Better do onto others as they do onto you
You call me on the day that you and him are just to through
[Chorus]
In Prince's song "If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life," the artist imagines what it would be like to treat his love interest with the love and care she deserves. He pledges to make her happy by offering her flowers, power, and taking care of her every need. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with Prince promising to treat her right and do whatever she says.
The song takes a turn when Prince addresses a rumor he heard about this woman's current partner. He suggests that the man is not treating her well and only sticks around until he gets what he wants. He urges the woman to do onto others as they do unto her, and to call him when she is through with her current partner. The song ends with the chorus, emphasizing Prince's desire to be the man in her life and make her happy.
Overall, "If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life" is a song about wanting to treat someone with love and respect, despite the flaws of their current relationship. Prince's lyrics offer a sense of compassion and understanding, while urging the listener to prioritize their own needs and not settle for someone who does not treat them well.

If I were your partner
I'd make you happy
I would make sure you're always happy
I'd treat you right
I'd treat you with the respect and love you deserve

I heard a rumor that you're man he said he'd do you wrong
I heard that your current partner isn't treating you well
And you're so vain you'd think that you're the 1 behind this song
You might think this song is about you, but it's actually about how I would treat you
Sure you know he got plenty lyrics, yeah, up his sleeve
Your partner might have sweet talk ready to use on you
And after he got what he want he just go up and leave
After your partner gets what he wants, he might abandon you
And Sunday chocolate on the roof right after his game
He only spends time with you after he gets what he wants
He like the Lakers but the Sixers on when he came
He's not honest with you and might even be with someone else
If he's with another now you best believe the party's cracking
If he's with someone else, he's probably not faithful
You're getting played girl, you better get your mack on
He's playing you, so you should move on
And do onto others as they do onto you
Treat others the way they treat you
You call me on the day that you and him are just to through
Call me when you're ready to move on from him
Was it you that I saw outside the liquor store
I saw you waiting outside the store
Waiting on that fool to purchase what you'd been dying for?
Were you waiting for him to buy what you wanted?
And before I see you drop a spill I have to bring you down
Before you make a mistake, I have to talk sense into you
Now you got that chocolate barracuda hangin' round
Now you've got someone using you for their own benefit
Hangin' round your neck like a cheap gold chain
He's using you like you're nothing more than an accessory
He don't deserve to say that he ever knew your name
He doesn't deserve to have a relationship with you
Much less he get to smell the perfume I gave you
He doesn't deserve any of the nice things you have
Please don't tell me that you all got down
Please don't tell me you two had sex
Better do onto others as they do onto you
Treat others the way they treat you
You call me on the day that you and him are just to through
Call me when it's over between you two
[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus
