Fucking.

Fucking. What else during that time frame?

When you fuck for kicks, there is no love involved....just raw fuckin'

Prince is in LOVE ya'll (in the song)

Acording to the SOTT lyrics booklet it's "this ain't just for kicks"

What does he say in concert then?

Well he definitely didn't say that lol

I doubt he would censor in an album booklet. Expecially considering that the Housequake lyrics say Bullshit

On a Lovesexy tour rehearsal I have, he clearly says "I aint fucking just 4 kicks". Alicia Keys even dropped the f-bomb during her performance of it on the 2010 BET Awards Tribute 2 Prince

ooooo........Controversy

I really always thought it was 'Funking'??

Well when he performs it live I'm sure he will say 'Funking' or 'Looking'. Haha...

Exactly. That's why he says "I ain't fucking just for kicks..."

Definitely FUNKING.

I've always heard funk there. This is one of his most heartfelt sweetest ballads, he wouldn't lower the tone by dropping the F Bomb. There's no need.

this is silly.... he is clearly saying fucking

the lyric book says talking but we all have ears

the lyric is in keeping with the Prince at that time who could be vulgar and in the very next line praise God

"heavenly angels crying above tears of joy flowing down on us.... they know we need each other they know you are my fix... I know and you know I aint cheating baby they know this is serious I aint fucking jus for kicks .... no. This feeling I got its crucial..."

No need to try and revise things now.

cos that's what i thought he said...

plus my mummy always said they drown a puppy every time you swear

I'm split between funking and fucking...

If it's fucking, it's funny how R&B radio has played it with THAT WORD... but the way he said it, you can't tell what it is... least I can't.

With Prince, you can never tell... I'm only saying this because R&B radio has, for the most part, been a conservative type of format (like all radio stations), if such a word was heard in 1987 they would've bleeped it out...if in fact what Prince was saying was "fucking".

Fucking.

You don´t beat around the bush do you?

I'm gonna go find the song and come back when I've listened to it to determine what he says...

Hmm, just heard that part. It does sound like fucking but he said it in a way where he bleeped himself or mumbled... it sounded like FOOKING. So I can see how "looking" came out of the question. But I doubt it's "looking" so "fucking" it is.

Which is exactly why it is strange that a song which says fuck like 50 times has never been censored

Because there's still a good portion who think he said FUNK.
