The story behind the song

This funk song, sung exclusively in falsetto, details Prince's deep affection for a woman. He expresses how he would treat her better than her current partners, while also conveying his frustration that she sees him as "a child." The song was inspired by a crush Prince had on pianist and singer Patrice Rushen. It plays like a heartfelt plea, full of passion and a desire to be seen as a worthy lover.
