Anyone enjoy the Prince-written song "Telepahty" by Debroah Allen? I love it!!!

Never heard of it... Do you have the lyrics ?

Here is a link to the video. Deborah Allen is known more as a country-pop singer though her 1987 album "Telepathy" she was all pop. Prince wrote the song "Telepathy".

"Telepathy" is a soft-funk number driven by synthesized horns. Musically, there are no tell-tale signs of Prince's involvement such as the ones detectable on his pseudonymous contributions to Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls." But such lyrics as "You're a hungry wolf in a valley of lambs" in "Telepathy" might suggest Prince. Certainly, the phrasing could have been coaxed by him, especially the breathy "I want you" section and the enunciation that recalls Tina Turner's.

Yes, I like the song.

from memory.....

So U like the way I walk?
So U like my disposition?
Same 'ol story a different situation, yeah
I know your kind like the back of my hand
Just a hungry wolf in a valley of lambs
U don't have to talk
Boy I understand
The heat in this room speaks loud enough

Telepathy (hey baby) U don't have to tell me whats on your mind
Telepathy (hey baby) Everything U want is in your eyes

U don't know what I'm about
Still U wanna make time
Say U wanna go out
Baby when U know that ain't all that's on your mind
I know your kind like the back of hand
You're a hungry wolf in a valley of lambs
U don't have to talk
Boy I understand
The heat in this room speaks loud enough

Telepathy (hey baby) U don't have to tell me whats on your mind
Telepathy (hey baby)
Everything you want is in your eyes
Hey baby

Now you know I know
Whats on your mind
I know your kind
U wanna make some time

So U like the way I kiss
Say you like the way my body feels next to yours
Its awfully hard to resist
This kind of friction could start a war
I know you're kind like the back of my hand
You're a hungry wolf in a valley of lambs
Don't talk, boy I understand
The heat in this room speaks loud enough

What Happened to her and DALE BOZZIO ALSO? DAMN!!!!

Thank you for the tip. It was nice and very "Princey".

!!!! This whole time I thought Telepathy was "DEBBIE ALLEN".... from FAME!

Seriously.....I knew she had a crappy album in the 80s..... and figured this was on it.

Please listen to the instrumental version (on the 12"), it's one of the lost Madhouse tracks, complete with Eric L.

oooh i love prince... thanks 4 that.

It is extremely Prince sounding. I was posted a review of the song in a previous post. I was shocked that the individual who reviewed the song could hear little trace of Prince in the music. He/she must have been deaf or stupid.

tell me about it..its pure mpls cheese.

at the time of the release this song would have been a good kick for my . but I only dscovered it lately and it sounded a bit dated to me. still a good tune though.

I have never understood this term "dated" that people throw around in reference to music. Good music doesnt age. If its good 20 or 200 years ago, its good today. I think this is something that people who really dont know music say to sound informed.

Sim sim salla bim
The spirits are about to speak
Some boys I know just open their mouths
Just to swap feet
Don't get me wrong
I wantcha
But on the very first night?
It might be your style
But 2 wrongs don't make a right
Come on and kiss me
'Cause I don't wanna fight
Kiss me baby
Don't waste tonight
On the idle talkin'
Jabber walkin'
Snow lines
Red wine
Come on
Come on - yeh
Telepathy - (there you go)
Telepathy
Don't lie cause I know what's on your mind
It's in your eyes
Telepathy - hey baby
Telepathy - hey baby

It's from Deborah Allen's 1987 RCA album - TELEPATHY

The single version appears on Deborah Allen's 1998 Renissance CD - ANTHOLOGY

I think that's the kind of bullshit people say about other people (of which they do not know anything) to sound informed.
