If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life is the eighth track on Prince's 28th studio album Musicology.

Initial recording dates are unknown, but engineer H.M. Buff has stated that he was involved in the latter, indicating that it was recorded between 1995 and 2000. The song's opening indicates that it was recorded in tandem with The Marrying Kind, but engineer H.M. Buff was not involved in the latter track, indicating that it was recorded separately. The presence on the track of John Blackwell on drums suggests that further work was done on the track at some point between late 2000 (when John Blackwell joined Prince's band) and early 2004.
