What’s the matter with ur life?
Is the poverty bringin’ u down?
Is the mailman jerkin’ u ’round?
Did he put ur million dollar check in someone else’s box?
All alone, that’s enough for me baby
Taking it slow, it’s too much for me to analyze
Still alright, heading into the rhythm of the sunlight

Alone in a world so cold?

Last Question: After hearing the 1982 Prince song “Little Red Corvette” on the radio, Stevie Nicks was inspired to collaborate with Prince to write and record a song based on the melody of the Prince song. Which 1983 Stevie Nicks song was created by this collaboration with Prince?
Answer: Stand Back
The following is from Wikipedia, but you can hear the story from Stevie Nicks herself below:
Nicks has often told the story of how she wrote “Stand Back”. She wrote it on the day of her marriage to Kim Anderson on January 29, 1983. The newlyweds were driving up to San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara when Prince’s song “Little Red Corvette” came on the radio. Nicks started humming along to the melody, especially inspired by the lush synthesizers on the song, and “Stand Back” was born. The couple stopped and got a tape recorder and Nicks recorded the demo in the honeymoon suite that night. Later, when Nicks went into the studio to record the song, she called Prince and told him the story of how she wrote the song to his melody. Prince came to the studio that night (on 8 February 1983 at Studio 55, Los Angeles) and played synthesizers on it, although his contribution is uncredited on the album. He and Nicks did agree however to split the publishing royalties on the song 50-50. Then, she says, “he just got up and left as if the whole thing happened in a dream.”

Last Question: What car company’s pitchman lied in TV commercials but claimed, “You have my word on it.”?
She seems a million miles away
When she walks by you don’t know what to say
You’re gonna make your move; you better make it now
And don’t be afraid ’cause love will show you how
