Girls & Boys [Live/Alone]

Prince · One Nite Alone...Live! [2002]

He only knew her 4 a little while,

but he had grown accustomed 2 her style

She had the cutest ass he'd ever seen

He did 2, they were meant 2 be

They loved 2 kiss on the steps of Versailles

It looked like rain, mama, birds do fly

I love u baby, I love u so much,

maybe we can stay in touch

Meet me in another world, space and joy,

vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys



He gave her all the love that anyone can,

but she was promised 2 another man

He tried so hard not 2 go insane

Birds do fly, looks like rain

I love u baby, I love u so much,

Maybe we can stay in touch

Meet me in another world, space and joy,

vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys



Life is precious baby, love is so rare

I can take the breakup if u say that u care

He had 2 run away, his pride was 2 strong

It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

(I love u baby, I love u so much)

Maybe (Maybe we can stay in touch)

Meet me in another world (Meet me in another world, space and joy)

vous etes tres belle (vous etes tres belle, mama)

(I love u baby, I love u so much)

I want u, babe (Maybe we can stay in touch)

Maybe we can play today (Meet me in another world, space and joy)

vous etes tres belle (vous etes tres belle, mama)

Girls & Boys [Live/Alone]

Prince's 'Girls & Boys [Live/Alone]' captures the raw intensity of his 2002 One Nite Alone... tour, where the artist performed solo with a backing track. This recording highlights his ability to command a stage without a full band, blending funk, rock, and R&B into a seamless sonic tapestry. The track serves as a testament to his prolific output and enduring energy during a period of intense experimentation. By stripping away the usual orchestration, the performance emphasizes his vocal dexterity and instrumental mastery. This live version stands as a significant song in his vast catalogue, showcasing the dynamic range that defined his later career. It remains a compelling example of how Prince could reinvent familiar material through the lens of a minimalist, high-energy solo presentation.
