About Girl

"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" is the lead single from the 1994 EP The Beautiful Experience by Prince, and his 1995 album The Gold Experience. In his singles chronology, it was his third major release since changing his stage name to "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince" or "TAFKAP." In his albums chronology, it along with the EP was his second release after changing his name. With the consent of Prince's usual record distributor Warner Bros. Records, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" was released by NPG Records and Edel Music, and independently distributed by Bellmark Records, under the control and guidance of Music of Life, as a one-off single, topping five different charts. The single was released in February 1994 in the United Kingdom, and remains Prince's only number one single in the UK Singles Chart, and was shortly followed by an EP of remixes titled The Beautiful Experience that also charted on #18 in the chart in the United Kingdom. The version that was released on The Gold Experience is a different mix of the song.

Won't you kiss me?
Ooh-ee baby, my lips they want you so

How can you resist me? (how can you resist me?)
The smell of animal lust is a-all over me (the smell of animal lust is a-all over me)

Oh, girl
If I could hold your hand

Caress the flower
Warm, warm
Bring it to the garden
The garden
Be poetic
Tell me what it feels like
A sea of electricity?
Now that's wonderful
Talk to you, talk to you?
What do you want to hear?
If I was anything else I'd be the water in your bath, darling

Ooh-ee baby, my flesh is on fire (ooh-ee baby, my flesh is on fire)

Ooh-ee baby, I think you desire me (ooh-ee baby, I think you desire me)

Make a wish, baby (make a wish, baby)
Anything (anything)

Me and you (me and you)
I want you
In the worst way, you make me

Ooh, girl, ooh
(Girl)

You like the dreamy ice cream (girl)

Girl, your lips are so wet (girl)
Feel my hands, they're all sweaty (girl)
