Since you are going to place them on your fridge...

"Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam"

"Grits and gravy, cheese eggs and jam
Can nobody cook it like you girl
No ma'am!
This here early morning, need something else on my plate
I think I want another bite of you
Breakfast can wait!"

"Pasta simmers on the stove in June
Makes no sense yet, but it will soon"

"Now everybody clap your hands
Come on
Let's jam y'all
Let's jam
Don't wait 4 your neighbor
Green eggs and ham
Doin' the housequake"

If I was your girlfriend, would you run to me if somebody hurt you, even if that somebody was me?

That's a great one.

Sticky Wicked, She just bought a pair o tickets

To the opera in her mind

No applause, no encore, if she dies

Been rapping this 2 every1 2night

For someone who can't stand TV dinners...

You sho' eat enough of them muthafuckers!

Who do I look like baby...? Yesterday's fool?

She knew which fork to use

But she couldn't dance

So he hipped her to the funk

in exchange for the finance

Who's pimpin who

Nobody gets a second chance

This is the story of Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance

"The only Love there is

is the Love We Make"

I Would Die 4 U. I recently saw someone mention that the lyrics are about the Trinity: The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit. Each described in one verse. I never knew that. Really great lyrics I think.

God

I'm not a woman
I'm not a man
I am something that you'll never understand
I'll never beat you
I'll never lie
And if you're evil I'll forgive you by and by

Jesus
I'm not your lover
I'm not your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend
No need to worry
No need to cry
I'm your messiah and you're the reason why

Holy Spirit

I'm not a human
I am a dove
I'm your conscious
I am love
All I really need is to know that
You believe

I love this!!!!!! Always thought it was more a spiritual song, not about a lover.

To me it sounds more like Prince's self-deification.

Excellent idea, questionofu!

Some reason the lyrics of THE VOICE echoed with me today

Ching! - Mr. Politician goes on vacation
Brings along a friend or 2
In the disguise of taxes
Mr. Politician (sends) sends the bill 2 U know who

Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain
(Tappin' on my window like a fallin' rain)
Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again
(Cryin' like a baby, pick me up)
Can't U hear the voice? (Oh yeah)

Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light'
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Oh, if U could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny

In a large room with no light

Woderful lyrics

Beggars can't b choosey if they don't know how 2 serve

U got a different phone # n a lot of nerrrrve...

So you sign your name and he claims innocence
Just like every snowflake in an avalanche.

Behold the children of the New Power
Are more and mightier than U
U that have scorned and held back the inevitable
Must now come 2 grips with the truth

All that is good in the eyes of heaven
Will rebuke your powder monkey ways
And let that same heaven have mercy
When the wrath of the sun knocks upon your gate

Great lines

I want to be your mother and your sister too. The fact that a man would equate the relationship he has with a woman with the same emotional ties as a mother/daughter sister/sister relationship is profound. Especially with him equating himself to that woman figure.

Like he wants to go beyond the physical.
He wants total intimacy. Body and mind.

Thinking of it, the seeds of what came after were pretty much already there.
This line, it may not read that awesome, but it's the proto-IIWYG, the Love Symbol, Controversy.

A man that is not satisfied with just invading a woman's body.
Up to the point the search can be associated with the spiritual search: "Trancend the physical — Keep your body, he wants your mind" (Escape).

What's fascinating to me is that he never felt the need to go full cross-gender.
I think it's about being a better man by absorbing feminine qualities.
The quest to understand what it's like to be in the vulnerable woman's position ("Automatic" video).
This obsession for understanding the Woman's Mind gave us phenomenal songs.

Hola Org! So, I have a chalkboard on my fridge. I have been putting my favorite Prince lyrics up there for my family to read. Sometimes, I get lyrics back from them. It makes me sad, but, makes me happy that we do this. So, let me know your favorite lines and I will add them to my board! 😇 I always find it interesting to hear what others think are his best lyrics. Feel free to include why you think it's the best.

You better be happy that dress is still on
I heard the rip when You sat down
Honey them hips is gone
But that's alright, I clock 'em that way
Remind me of something James used to say...
"I like 'em fat"
"I like 'em proud"
"Ya gotta have a mother for me"
Now move your big ass 'round this way
So I can work on that zipper, baby
Tonight you're a star
And I'm the big dipper

That one always makes me laugh
