Prince Week - "If I Was Your Girlfriend" & "Sign O' The Times"

So much amazingness with this song, I don't know where to start.  First of all, the way Prince elevates what would be a "normal" R&B song into a musically interesting and lyrically unique perspective on romantic relationships is genius and beautiful.  What's better than a love song that appeals to the mind too?

And his vocals - of all of his incredible talents, his voice is just... come on.

"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 your helpless,
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things that bein' in love's about..."

Also, I have to give love to the Sign O' The Times album, on which this song appears.  He gets socially conscious on the album, and I'm also sharing the title track: http://www.wat.tv/video/prince-sign-of-the-times-383q5_2hztv_.html.  So great!!
