About Sexy MF

"Sexy MF" is a song by Prince and The New Power Generation from their 1992 album Love Symbol. The song and its refrain "You sexy motherfucker" caused some controversy, and edited versions were produced for radio, the music video and the US version of the album. The song was released as the first single from Love Symbol, with "Strollin'", from the previous year's Diamonds and Pearls, as a B-side. In the United Kingdom, the CD single also contained a third track, "Daddy Pop", also from Diamonds and Pearls. "Sexy MF" was recorded in Paisley Park Studios' Studio A. The song is a merger of "old school" funk and modern R&B music. The song also carries a strong Hip-Hop influence in Prince's delivery of the lyrics. The song is built around the bass, drums and guitar. Added to this is a consistent electric rhythm guitar undertone and horn stabs from the NPG Hornz. Throughout the song, the horns are given the chance to shine, along with a sax solo from Brian Gallagher. Musical solos are also provided by Levi Seacer, Jr. (guitar) and Tommy Barbarella (organ) who Prince mentions in the song's lyrics ("Tommy Barbarella in the house", "Come here, Tommy. Yeah!", and "Levi... Levi... Fly"). The music and most of the lyrics were composed by Prince, while Seacer came up with the chorus and the song's title. Tony M. delivers a rap which he wrote. It has been covered by the Dave Matthews Band as an outro from their song "Jimi Thing".

In a word or two, it's you I want to do
No not your body, your mind you fool
Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

We're all alone in a villa on the Rivera
That's in France on the south side
In case you cared
Out of all your friends I want to be the closest
That's why I tell you things
So you'll be the mostest
When it comes to life, to be this man's wife
You got to be well educated on the subject of fights
I mean prevention of
In other words, its R.E.A.L meaning of this thing called love
Are you up on this?
If so, then you can get up off hug and a kiss

Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

We need to talk about things
Tell me what ya do, tell me what ya eat
I might cook for you
See it really don't matter cause it's all about me and you
Ain't no one else around
I'm even with the blindfold, gagged and bound
I don't mind, see this ain't about sex
It's all about love being in charge of this life and the next,
Why all the cosmic talk?
I just want you smarter than all the people who take that walk

Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

Horns stand please

I like it, I like it

You seem perplexed I haven't taken you yet
Can't you see I'm harder than a man could get
I got wet dreams comin' out of my ears
I get hard if the wind blows your cologne near me
But I can take it, 'cause I want the whole nine
This ain't about the body, it's about the mind

Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

Tommy Barbarella in the house

Scrub the dishes

Aah, aah, ahh, aah, aah, ah

Come here Tommy, yeah

Sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy

Levi, Levi, fly

(Oh man, give 'em smooth shit)

I like it, I like it

Sexy motherfucker shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass
Sexy motherfucker shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass

Guard your folks and get your daughter
The sexy motherfucker's so fine I could drink her bathwater
A long, leggy 5'8", packing an ass as tight as a grape
I want to spit some game but I said to myself mmm
Just conversate (Yeah!), 'cause I'm usually quite the calm one (Come on!)
You never found me out prowling boy, I'm just havin' fun
But I'm happy to change my state of mind for this behind
I bet that if you threw that ass into the air it would turn into sunshine

Sexy motherfucker shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass
Sexy motherfucker shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass

Sexy motherfucker shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass, ooo ooo
Sexy motherfucker shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass

You sexy motherfucker
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 

You sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker 
Sexy motherfucker
