Lyrics on original album version of "Come"

What is being said during this verse?

____bug my phones to say ______ ?

I don't think so, maybe you should come with me

Maybe you should wrap your legs around my neck for a while

We'll see if I can make you smile

I do my very best to get you in the mood (x2)

Cry for me to ____________________ ?

_______ for really getting rude

For the life of me, I can't make it out.

Sticks and stones will bug my phones and say that I mislead
I don't think so, maybe U should come with me
Maybe U should wrap your legs around my neck 4 awhile
And we'll see if I can make U smile

I'll do my very best 2 get U in the mood {x2}
Cry 4 little titty, wanna tell U just how U will ever come
The time hangs 4 me 2 get real

This can't be legit. The mislead line might be right, but the last line isn't. You can totally hear him pronounce the word "rude" in the last line. Mind you, I don't remember when DTT did this version of come, but I think it was before the full version was released in perfect quality like on Dawn 4.1.

I have a great quality version of that song, and it was certainly before that boot you're referring to. However, it was done before I was ever part of the team.

OKAY sassafras, but my point is that I'm sure the DTT did it before the complete version of the song was released. As I recall, T's edited/chopped up/tagged version of the original album version of Come did NOT include this part and the only version we had as fans was a copy played over the PA at Glam Slam.

THUS, now that WE HAVE a CLEAR AND COMPLETE version of the SONG (living on both your boot and THAT BOOT IM REFERRING TO), you can hear the lyrics better. Real =/= rude. I'm curious as to what the verse really says.

I hear the last line as "The time hangs 4 me 2 get rude", but I'll take DTTs word for the other two lines in question. "Cry 4 little titty" sounds right, but I don't get it. "Sticks and stones will bug my phones and say that I mislead" is probably right, but I can't hear those exact words.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

"The time hangs for me to get rude" sounds closer to what it should be.

Listen again a few times. What we're thinking sounds like "for me 2" could also be "really" if you listen to it. I don't get the titty thing either, but I also didn't get the "tallywhacker suckin" thing at first either.

YES! This sounds perfect to my ears. You can specifically hear him annunciate "has" and "get rude".

This has perplexed me for years.

The line before that isn't right either.

I'm at work right now , so can't double check,

but I'm pretty sure that line ends with the word "food"

(something like "eating you just like food")

That makes sense, too.

Mislead, me.

While, smile.

Mood, mood, ____, rude.

What an awesome track.

I'm also pretty sure he doesn't say "get U in the mood" twice. One those lines is different, like "get u in the nude" or something. I'll have to have a listen to it when I get home to check.

It might be time to revisit this song and redo the lyrics.
