This is so hard, it might take me a minute to point out the exact lyrics of a few songs but the first song that came to mind was the first verse to Mountains:

"Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high.
The sea surrounded them and together they would be
The only thing that ever made u cry
U said the devil told u that another mountain would appear
Everytime somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would 1 day overflow with all your tears,
And love will always leave u lonely."

In the early morning when I'm feeling nice
I walk by the mirror and kiss it twice
When it comes to perfume, I, it's on the shelf
I get it down, if ain't nobody around

I, I, I smell myself

.

It makes me crack up every time lol lol lol

There are too many. "Adore" as a whole is impressive AF.

But my go to is one clever little lyric, "I can deal with a sucker if he's in your mouth, but I can't deal with insincere."

"eye don’t really care so much what people say about me because it is a reflection of who they r."

I could tell you things to get you excited,

things you never heard
You know the Kama Sutra? I could re-write it

with half as many words

.

from 'We Can Funk'

I am going to leave off the dirty songs because they are too obvious (he was a master at amusing, descriptive and funny sexual lyrics)

--The entirety of Sign of the TImes (song)

--When Doves Cry (How can you just leave me standing, alone in a world so cold. Maybe I am just too demanding. Maybe I am 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.

--Revelation (the entire song except the spoken word part) Okay this is one is kind of dirty.

--entirety of lyrics from "Love" from 3121.

--entirety of lyrics from "Strange Relationship".

--Beautiful Strange is just poetry.

--the funniest song is Dorothy Parker..."sounds like a real man to me" LOL.

--the chorus to "There is Lonely"...There is lonely..and there is lonely and there is how I feel right now. Perhaps only Cain when he slay his brother would ever come close to knowing how."...dude, that is the depths of lonely despair (and guilt because your own behavior is what made you lonely).

--the last lines of "Old Friends 4 sale"

Since the Kama Sutra is only 20% sexual. He could just leave out the non-sexual parts..LOL>
