美國音樂才子［王子］──放克／合成流行／新浪潮佳作──［Controversy／爭議］

I just cant believe all the things people say -- controversy

Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? -- controversy

Do I believe in god? Do I believe in me? -- controversy

Controversy controversy

I cant understand human curiosity -- controversy

Was it good for you? Was I what you wanted me to be? -- controversy

Do you get high? Does your daddy cry? -- controversy

Controversy controversy

Do I believe in god? Do I believe in me?

Some people wanna die so they can be free

(I said) life is just a game, were all just the same... Do you wanna play?

Controversy controversy controversy

Controversy controversy controversy

Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever

Controversy controversy controversy controversy

Love him, love him baby

Listen

People call me rude, I wish we were all nude

I wish there was no black and white, I wish there were no rules

(repeat 3 times)

Do I believe in god? Do I believe in me? Let me tell ya...

Some people wanna die so they can be free

(I said) life is just a game, were all just the same... Dont ya wanna play?

大碟登上Billboard專輯榜＃２１　副榜──黑人榜＃３　至今賣出一百多萬張

名列１９８２年Billboard年終專輯榜＃５９

同名歌曲為首支主打［Controversy／爭議］

歌詞在推測當時媒體對王子性喜好, 性向, 宗教, 種族等觀點

此曲融合放克／合成流行／新浪潮  受到好評

［Controversy］登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃７０　

副榜──黑人榜＃３　

１９９３年,王子發行精選輯［The Hits/The B-Sides］, ［Controversy］重新在英國發行, 拿到單曲榜＃５　為王子再天一首暢銷曲

［Controversy］與［Lets Work］合併, 讓王子首度登上舞曲榜冠軍

這是王子事業早期名作之一
