They both should've won an award for this and it should've went to #1. Totally underrated

prince knew how to marry the material with the artist. Patti did great with this song. Two funky greats making one funky track...I was actually surprised when this song hit cause it's not exactly uplifting and it's strange that such a downer could rock so hard. I think that's how you get a true message across ... never force it let it flow and it will get to those who need to know.

Amazing Lyrics by the one and only Legend... Prince Oh, mister how's your daughter? You really ought to know For every thing you taught her Don't matter when she's all alone My crazy friend named Cara After all of us told her, ?No? S-s-she'd get another spoon ball Now, she's going no where slow Her papa caught her for the first time And put her out on the street Cara told me to remind him That she was only seventeen Yo, mister how's your daughter? how's your girl? You really ought to know Every thing you taught her It don't matter when she's all alone Cara got hooked up with the wrong kids Then s-s-she started skipping school Then Cara got high to make disappear A world full of fools In her eyes her father was the biggest fool of them all And she was speeding, that's what she?d say Maybe, maybe, maybe she wouldn't talk so stupid If she knew how much she needed this fool today Yo, mister how's your daughter? You really ought to know For every thing you taught her Don't matter when she's all alone She needs you right now mister ?Cause she ain't got long to live It?s so easy to say, ?I love you? But it?s harder to forgive Her father cried when I told him that Cara twice got knocked up He said, ?Just like her mama, aha, she shows her body When she wants to show love, she tried that stuff with me And I beat her down, there's no way I could let her stay Couldn't let her stick around ? ?Cause I tried so hard to raise her right He said, ?What made her turn out this way?, I don't know What made her turn out this way, I don't know, I don't know And I said and I said and I said Yo, mister how's your daughter? You really ought to know, every thing Every thing you taught her Don't matter when she's all alone But she needs you right now mister She ain't got long to live It?s easy to say, ?I love you? But it?s harder to forgive (How?s your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How?s your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How?s your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How?s your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How?s your daughter tonight?)

Actually, thank you for posting this lovely version. It's now on my playlist as I love the bridge at 4:12 more than the 1989 remix which I can't find on iTunes nor Google Play. Please excuse my typos, as it sounds like I'm speaking broken English.

+Kade Sutherland Where did you get that? Prince's background vocals and the instrumentation were recorded in 1986. Patti's vocals were recorded in May 1988. The remix version was recorded around June 1989.

This one was rather to old to be released as a single in the second half of 1989 as it made in late 1986 and Patti's vocals in May 1988. She also wanted female backing vocalists for the video, so it resulted in the updated version.

This is a great Prince-produced track. While the video, is great, it uses an alternate version of the song that isn't nearly as good.

On the video is more of the same, typical of the 80's synthesized funk. Here, Prince gets the taste of a adult person thing.

Laura Veney The Reason is because, this version was recorded way before the recordings of Patti Labelle Album Be Yourself. Also this version would not fit in the music video, thats why they used the chris lord alge version, which fitted in the music video
