Interview With Me!
Prince Lyrics

This might seem strange
It may seem odd or unexpected

Since so much time has passed
Because a significant amount of time has elapsed

And since only one of us
With the knowledge that only one person retains their youthfulness

Still looks the same
They have not aged much

Your words not mine, baby
You have acknowledged this, not me

You're still fine yes you are
You are still very attractive

Like wine, you get better with time
You have improved with the passage of time, like fine wine

So young and so naive
In the past, you were quite inexperienced

That I never once believed
I never truly thought

That the memory of you would go through
That the thought of you would linger

Like wind goes through the trees
Like the wind passes through the leaves of the trees

Maybe if you believe baby
If you have faith, my dear

That I would not deceive you
That I would not lie to you

You and I side by side or somewhere
We could be together, whether directly next to each other or not

In between
Somewhere in the middle

I don't know if this is a bore
I'm unsure if this is dull or uninteresting

But I just can no longer ignore
Yet I cannot continue to dismiss

This fact so sublime
This exceptional truth

You get better with time
You improve as time passes

Anyone who's met you agrees
Everyone who has met you concurs

That no one forgets you most of all not me
Nobody forgets you, particularly not myself

You can claim you're humble and hide
You might profess to be modest and seclude yourself

But when it's true my dear
But when it's accurate, my dear

It's not pride
It isn't arrogance

A jury of my peers would find me
A group of people with similar experiences as me would convict me

Guilty of so many crimes
They would find me guilty of many offenses

If I chose not to remind you
Were I to refrain from telling you

That you get better with time
That you improve as time passes

This might seem absurd
This may come across as ludicrous

To someone so cultured
To a sophisticated individual

And to one who would grace any stage
To someone who could perform on any stage

When the hair that frames that face
As the hair that borders the face

Dark brown or silvery lace
Whether the hair is brown or gray

What is age but a cage?
Is age not just a metaphorical prison?

Never mind
It's not important

You'll be blind to not know that you get better with time
You'd have to be blind not to realize that you improve over time
