Prince – Alphabet Street lyrics

No!

I’m going down 2 Alphabet Street
I’m gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I’m gonna talk so sexy
She’ll want me from my head 2 my feet

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes she will
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m gonna drive my daddy’s Thunderbird (My daddy’s thunderbird)
A white rad ride, ’66 (’67) so glam it’s absurd
I’m gonna put her in the back seat
And drive her 2 … Tennessee

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tennessee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, drive her

Excuse me, baby
I don’t mean 2 be rude
But I guess tonight I’m just not, I’m just not in the mood
So if U don’t mind (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would like to…watch

Yeah, yeah, yeah…can I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Can I, can I, can I, can I)

We’re going down, down, down, if that’s the only way
2 make this cruel, cruel world hear what we’ve got to say
Put the right letters together and make a better day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, better days
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s O-O-K
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe it’s the only way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Prince and the Revolution – Kiss lyrics

Uh!

U don’t have 2 be beautiful 2 turn me on
I just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn
U don’t need experience 2 turn me out
U just leave it all up 2 me, I’m gonna show U what it’s all about

U don’t have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don’t have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your . . . . . kiss

U got 2 not talk dirty, baby, if U wanna impress me
U can’t be 2 flirty, mama, I know how 2 undress me (Yeah)
I want 2 be your fantasy, maybe U could be mine
U just leave it all up 2 me, we could have a good time

U don’t have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don’t have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your . . . . . kiss

Yes, oh
I think I wanna dance, uh
Gotta, gotta, oh
Little Girl Wendy’s Parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta

Women, not girls, rule my world, I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama, not your shoe size, maybe we could do the twirl
U don’t have 2 watch Dynasty 2 have an attitude, uh
U just leave it all up 2 me, my love will be your food (Yeah)

U don’t have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don’t have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain’t no particular sign I’m compatible with!
I just want your extra time and your. . . . . kiss

Prince and the Revolution – Purple Rain lyrics

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing
It’s time we all reach out for something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader,
But you can’t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you into the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you,
Only want to see you in the purple rain

Prince – When Doves Cry lyrics

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling…can you picture this?

Dream if you can
A courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that’s so cold
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You’ve got the butterflies all tied up
Don’t make me chase you
Even doves have pride

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold (world so cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold (world so cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Prince and the Revolution – Let’s Go Crazy lyrics

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here 2 tell u
There’s something else
The afterworld

If u don’t like the world you’re living in
Take a look around u
At least u got friends

U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
Is all I heard

Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let’s Go!

Let’s go crazy
Let’s get nuts
Let’s look 4 the purple banana
‘Til they put us in the truck, let’s go!

We’re all excited
But we don’t know why
Maybe it’s cuz
We’re all gonna die
And when we do (When we do)
What’s it all 4 (What’s it all 4)
U better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let’s go!

Let’s go crazy
Let’s get nuts
Look 4 the purple banana
‘Til they put us in the truck, let’s go!

C’mon baby
Let’s get nuts
Yeah
Crazy

Let’s go crazy
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let’s go!
Go crazy

I said let’s go crazy (Go crazy)
Let’s go, let’s go
Go
Let’s go

Dr. Everything’ll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children

He’s coming
He’s coming
Coming

Prince – 1999 lyrics

I was dreamin’ when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’
Could’ve sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin’ everywhere
Tryin’ to run from the destruction
You know I didn’t even care

Say say two thousand zero zero party over
Out of time
So tonite I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine

I was dreamin’ when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren’t meant to last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die I’m gonna listen to my body tonite

They say two thousand zero zero party over
Out of time
So tonite I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine

People, let me tell you somethin’

If you didn’t come to party
Don’t bother knockin’ on my door
I got a lion in my pocket and baby he’s ready to roar
Everybody’s got a bomb, we could all die any day, oh
But before I let that happen, I’ll dance my life away, oh ho

They say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
(We’re runnin’ out of time)
So tonite I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
(We gonna, we gonna, oh)

Say it one more time
Two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
(No, no)
So tonite I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
(We gonna, we gonna)

Alright, nineteen ninety-nine
You say it, nineteen ninety-nine
Mmm nineteen ninety-nine
(Oww, nineteen ninety-nine)

Don’t stop it, don’t stop it, say it one more time
Two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time
(Yeah, yeah)
So tonite I’m gonna party like it’s nineteen ninety-nine
(We gonna, we gonna, whoa)
Yeah, nineteen ninety-nine
Don’t you wanna go?
(Nineteen ninety-nine)
Don’t you wanna go?
(Nineteen ninety-nine)
We could all die any day
(Nineteen ninety-nine)
I don’t wanna die, I’d rather dance my life away
(Nineteen ninety-nine)

Listen to what I’m tryin’ to say
Everybody, everybody say party
Come on now, you say it party
That’s right, everybody say party
Can’t run from revelation, no
(Party)
Sing it for your nation, y’all
(Party)
(Ow!)
Dreamin’ when you’re singin’, baby
(Party)
Say the telephone a ringin’, mama, now
(Party)
Come on, come on, you say
(Party)
Everybody, two times
(Party)
(Ow!)
Work it down to the ground, I’m sayin’
(Party)
Oh baby, say it again
(Ooh hoo hoo)
(Party)
Oh, shake your body, baby!
(Party)
That’s right, come on, sing the song
(Party)
Ah aah ha
(Party)
That’s right
(Party)
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say
(Party)
Ah, and he’s ready to roar
(Party)

Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?

Prince – U Got the Look lyrics

Here we are folks, the dream we all dream of
Boy versus girl in the World Series of love
Tell me, have u got the look?

U walked in, I woke up
I’ve never seen a pretty girl look so tough
Baby, u got that look

Color u peach and black
Color me taken aback
Crucial, I think I want ya

U’ve got the look, u’ve got the hook
Sho’nuff do be cookin’, in my book
Ur face is jammin’, ur body’s heck-a-slammin’
If love is good, let’s get 2 rammin’
U got the look, u got the look

Looka here
U got the look (U got the look)
U musta took (U musta took)
A whole hour just 2 make up ur face, baby

Closin’ time, ugly lights,

But u r a natural beauty unaffected (unaffected)
Did I say an hour? My face is red,
I stand corrected (I stand corrected)

U’ve got the look (U’ve got the look)
U sho’nuff do be cookin’ in my book (Slammin’!)
Ur face is jammin’, ur body’s heck-a-slammin’
If love is good, let’s get 2 rammin’

Ladies and gentlemen,

Boy versus girl in the World Series of love

I never seen such a pretty girl look so tough
Baby (Baby), u got that look (u got that look)

Color u peach and black

Prince and The Revolution – Raspberry Beret lyrics

1 2, 1 2 3, huh
Yeah

I was workin’part-time in a 5-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn’t like my kind
Cuz I was a bit 2 leisurely
It seems that I was busy doin’somethin’close 2 nothin?
But different than the day before
That’s when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door

She wore a raspberry beret
The kind U’d find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm, she wouldn’t wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

Built like she was, huh, she had the nerve 2 ask me
If I planned 2 do her any harm, hmph
So looka here, I put her on the back of my bike and ah…
We went ridin’down by Old Man Johnson’s farm
I said now overcast days never turned me on
But somethin’ ’bout the clouds and her mixed
She wasn’t 2 bright, but I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks

She wore a raspberry beret
The kind U’d find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm, she wouldn’t wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who U are
The thunder drowns out what the lightning sees, huh
And U feel like a movie star
Listen, they say the first time ain’t the greatest
But I tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again
I wouldn’t change a stroke cuz baby I’m the most
With a girl as fine as she was then
Lord, ras…

The kind U find, the kind U find, oh no no!
Uh huh, uh huh
Where have all the raspberry women gone?
Yeah
I think I, I think I, I think I love her!

No, no, no
No, no, no, I love…
Tell me where have all the raspberry women gone?

Prince – Little Red Corvette lyrics

I guess I should’ve known by the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn’t last
See, you’re the kinda person that believes in makin’ out once
Love ‘em and leave ‘em fast
I guess I must be dumb ’cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say – “What have I got to lose?”

And honey, I say Little Red Corvette
Baby, you’re much too fast (Oh)
Little Red Corvette
You need a love that’s gonna last

I guess I should’ve closed my eyes when you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
‘Cause I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not, I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say – “Baby, have you got enough gas?”
Oh yeah!

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you’re much too fast (Yes you are)
Little Red Corvette
You need too find a love that’s gonna last (Oh, oh)

A body like yours oughta be in jail
‘Cause it’s on the verge of bein’ obscene
Move over, baby, gimme the keys
I’m gonna try to tame your little red love machine

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you’re much too fast
Little Red Corvette
Need too find a love that’s gonna last, hey hey

Little Red Corvette
Honey, you got too slow down (Got too slow down)
Little Red Corvette
‘Cause if you don’t, you’re gonna run your little red corvette right in the ground
(Little Red Corvette)
Right down too the ground (Honey, you got too slow down)
You, you, you got to slow down
(Little Red Corvette)
You’re movin’ much too fast, too fast
Need too find a love that’s gonna last!

Girl, you got an ass like I never seen, ow!
And the ride…
I say the ride is so smooth, you must be a limousine

Ow!
Baby, you’re much too fast
Little Red Corvette
You need a love, you need a love that’s, uh, that’s gonna last
(Little Red Corvette)
Babe, you got to slow down (you got to slow down)
Little Red Corvette
‘Cause if you don’t, ’cause if you don’t
You’re gonna run your body right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)

Little Red Corvette, oh
