I've always loved this song. One of his most underrated, in my opinion. (I also always thought the beginning was just plain sexy.)

to me it seems like he is the "computer" and he is having trouble with finding the right girl so he is blue until the machinery gets fixed lol (and princes father didnt write any songs for him where did you get that faulty information?????)

Dig this jam!

My interpretation:

He won’t give credit to the main women in his life for their efforts
Wendy & Lisa who help him with song writing, Apollonia who loves him, and his mother for trying to save her marriage all the while being a good mother
So he loses control, Wendy & Lisa are upset, Apollonia is gone, and his mother took the father back
What’s wrong is his method of handling these situations-not the problems themselves
He must change or else the formula won’t work
