You Got That Look

You walked in. I woke up. I never saw a pretty girl look so tough, baby, you got that look. You are a natural beauty. Ladies and gentlemen, the look we all dream up. Oh please.

My son and I used to sing this song. He would be Prince and I was Sheena Easton. We would dance. I loved this song. As soon as the drums started playing, I was ready to dance. I would pretend I was singing with Prince. I would dress up in a nice dress and make up and think of this song. My mother, grandma and cousin would laugh when we did this song. My cousin decided to sing with us. We had the cassette playing of this song and I thought we did really good. Prince would have been smiling.

With Prince dying, I think of his old songs and remember how much I loved them. Could this man sing or what? Definitely could sing. When my Birthday rolls around, this song sticks in my mind. I try to have the look but I am getting older and just content to be me and enjoy life. I still want the look. Who doesn't? Thank you, Prince. You had the look. Purple was your color. Mine is, too.

My son lives in Minnesota and was sad to hear about Prince. I imagine he will be going to Paisley Park to visit Prince's place. Prince. I look at pictures of you. You had the look. Love You.
