Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife Lyrics
If I ever held a hand
It was only because I'd never held your hand
That was part of the plan
I had 2 get it right if I was 2 be your man
And if I ever kissed your lips
I needed time 2 cross the others off my list (off my list)
A higher high 2 the trip (trip)
I wanted U 2 go, that was my wish - yes it was
(Ooh my) Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife
Air, food, water, love of my life
If I ever shared a bed
It was only cuz I wanted 2 live up 2 what the people said, oh yes
(What they say?) {x5}
Now I'm livin' instead
Everyday just 2 say U're the only one who's in my head
(The only one) {x2}
Oh yes U are
And if I ever made U cry
All I have 2 do is think about it and I just wanna die (I just wanna die)
(I just wanna break down and die, die, die, die)
How I'd ever make it by (I don't know) without U, baby (without U, baby)
I don't know (No!), I hope I never have 2 try, yeah
(Please don't ever leave me)
Oh, listen 2 me
(Ooh my) Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife
(My sweet, sweet friend, lover, sister, mother/wife)
Air, food, water, love of my life
The eyes of my child I see every time U look at me
(I see a sweet baby smile)
A sweet baby smile like a light that shines 4 all 2 see
(And if I ever held a hand) If I ever held a hand
Oh, 'twas only cuz I'd never held yours
That was part of, part of the plan
I had 2 get it right (right) if I was 2 be your man because...
(Ooh my) Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife
(Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife)
My, my, my, my air, my food, my water, love of my life (I love U)
(Everlasting life)
Teacher (teacher), healer (healer), feeler (feeler), sight 4 sore eyes
(Let me look at your eyes - U're so pretty)
Oh, yes U are, baby
(Ooh my) Don't U know U're my friend, my lover, my sister, love of my life (mother/wife)
Yeah, baby, yes U are
{"Te amo" is "I love U"}
(Ooh my) Friend (te amo), lover (te amo), sister (te amo), mother/wife
(Hug me, hug me, hug me baby, U are my life)
(I'll stay with U 4ever) {x2}
Till death do us part, baby (Yes sir!)
Air (te amo), food (te amo), water (te amo), love (love of my life)
U are the only, only love of my life
My friend, lover, sister, mother/wife
It was only because I'd never held your hand
That was part of the plan
I had 2 get it right if I was 2 be your man
And if I ever kissed your lips
I needed time 2 cross the others off my list (off my list)

This is by far the most precious love song I have ever heard in my entire life. The lyrics are quite literal and self-explanatory so there's really no hidden meaning to be read into it. If there's another song by any artist where the person is pouring out their heart any more than Prince does in this song, I'd really love to hear it.
I truly believe Mayte was the love of his life. Such a shame they're not together anymore. The best music of his entire career was during the time when he and Mayte were together IMO.
I wont say the Mayte period music is his best as he set the bar so high even for him to sustain it on every outing. However this song, because we knew he was going to take a wife and have a family ,is one of the most straight a head love confessions anyone in love could want 2 say 2 another or have it said to them. Just about perfect.!
