U Make My Sun Shine

Prince · Other Songs - Prince

Come on over here baby, uh

Put your ass right down here on this throne, yeah

Don't you say n'ere a little word

Until you learn how to leave, leave that devil alone

Let me run it down, I keep your paper coming in real steady

I could tell you what the I in the pimp stands for

If your ready, ready, ready

Your eyes are wide shut you cannot even see

That behind your back, he calls you names

But you're still a queen to me



CHORUS:

In this trusting place you can erase

Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face

All the time you waste in that paper chase

Is time better spent in these arms of mine

Heaven sent angel so divine

You're my complement

U make my sun shine

U make my sun shine at night

(ooh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh)



Listen to me now baby, ohh

Let me tell ya what I gotta do (tell ya)

I gotta stop lettin' them devils

(define what it takes to be a woman)

Stop lettin' him tell me what it takes to be a woman

Gotta never stop believing in me, myself, and I

Pretty little lies that the rich keep using

I opened up my eyes,

The only reason they're winning is 'cause I keep losing

Gotta get back to my rightful place

That's the subject of my song

Queen of the human race

This is where I belong



Chorus



Wonderfully, truly, caring you make the words I wish in every song.

Come here now pretty baby let me take you somewhere

and put you real cloths back on

We've both been in the dark much too long

Now that we got the knowledge and the truth we can both be strong

Kings and Queens gettin' it on!



Trusted place you can erase

Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face

All the time you waste (wasted time)

In that paper chase

(Can't you see that it's all time better spent right here)

Is time better spent in these arms of mine,

(Sweet angel)

Heaven sent angel so divine (You're so divine)

You're my complement

U make my sun shine

U make my sun shine at night

Can U Feel me?

Sun shine, sun shine, sun shine at night

Doobay doobay doobay doo

As a key component of his final studio album, the song reflects his continued exploration of romantic themes and emotional vulnerability, maintaining the high production values that defined his discography throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Its enduring appeal lies in its seamless fusion of funk, R&B, and pop, showcasing Prince's mastery as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who consistently delivered memorable recordings that resonated across generations.
