I've always loved this song, and it's one of my favorites of the ones Prince has written for other artists. There is another version of it (The Uptown Remix) that has Prince playing his guitar all over it. But Sheena Easton simply sings her ass of in this song. Part of me wants to wonder why this song didn't get more airplay back in the day, but the simple thing is despite how good this song is, it's not a pop song. One thing is for certain though: Prince and Sheena Easton were magic working together. Wish they had done more.
Sheena Easton: 101
4 every night that u`ve been gone i`ve lit a candle
There must be 99 around my bed, around my bed
Lying awake all night long tears in vain
Sometimes I think that i`d be better off dead
Being without you is murder baby
Get in a taxi, subway train
Don`t make me cry these tears in vain, baby
A hundred nights without u is murder baby
A 101 just won`t do, no!
Why do I cry 4 u - u probably found someone new
And no one deserves ya, I say, no one deserves ya like I do
Baby u know it`s true
Oooh - what we had u said was meant 2 be
If that was true tell me why`d u leave
Baby, I wanna know
I`m sick of, i`m sick of, i`m sick of
Crying these tears in vain baby
Why don`t cha get in a taxi, subway train
I`m going mad baby
I`m going insane baby don`t cha know
101 just won`t do - no, no listen
Nothing on TV, my girlfriends bore me
They try to please me but I need u baby
U and me need 2 be together, together physically
Why can`t you come see about me?
Why can`t you come see about me?
U`ve got 2 get in a taxi, subway train
Don`t make me cry these tears in vain, baby
A hundred nights without u is murder baby
A 101 just won`t do, no!
No just won`t do
I`m in the funk
I`m in deep
U got to come baby see about me
That 101 just won`t do
