I DON'T GET IT...SOMEONE PLS EXPLAIN

Love the line, love the song.

Brilliant line. One of his best.

Excuse me but I need a mouth like yours.....

Now THAT'S an opening song line.

What about:

"I was dreaming when I wrote this..." etc.

(I guess 1999 was the album for great opening lines!)

I dont think that was the car he was talking about. Know what I mean?

While we're in the mood 4 analysis, I think he's dwelling more on the fact that the chick was reckless. She parked it sideways,left it there in the street and didn't even worry about it, Its all in the attitude.

What Bout U?

Hey, someone call Prince and ask him!!!!

"Guess I should have known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn’t last."

also like: " was dreamin when wrote this, for give me if it goes astray..."

all can do, is just offer U my love...

"Every friday night I call your butt up on the phone
A deeper voice answers and says you're not at home
Now if u think that I'm a fool who'll go 4 any line
Then honey, put down all your money, u win every time"

Not a single line, but certainly one of my favs.
