Does anyone know the lyrics to "Strawberry Lover"? I am not the best at understanding song lyrics in general and maybe i am not trying hard enough but i cannot find the lyrics on the net.

Some words were very hard to translate though :



chorus :

Strawberry lover
Strawberry friends
Strawberry lover
Does anybody understand ?



verse 1 :

Strawberry lover, so hard 2 find
It hides behind a stranger, who don't know UR alive
(Contributing at ?),she's my (????) and (????)
In a strawberry world, 2 easily (known ?)
Children find it so hard, somehow 2 lie
But grown-ups always (trick?/trip? U bottom by ?)
(????) (????) and foolish, (love only one ?)
Cuz with a strawberry lover, i could bump,fun,fun...



chorus :

I need a strawberry lover
Cuz i got strawberry friends
I need a strawberry lover
Does anybody understand, WHOAOW !

(spoken) : "...Do you need to understand ?..."



verse 2 :

(Passion ????) inside me, comes out at 9
But worse in the middle of the afternoon
But God is where U find me, something so right
But love (only matters ?) roses in blue
Have i ever confessed U, do U mesmerize ?
Caress U from UR neck 2 UR thighs
Have i (met 2 ?) undress U, don't B surprised
(spoken) : "But the strawberry jam ... drips ... from the radio..."



chorus :

...need a strawberry lover
Cuz i got strawberry friends
I need a strawberry lover
Does anybody understand, OW !



spoken verse :

(Controversial ?) acts, can B shed by 2 in love
But when it's strawberry baby, 2 ain't enough
My brother here he like it, but uhhh... i like U more
You want us both ?... yes ?... then shut the door, WHOAOW !

(chanting) : "...WHOAOW !, WHOAOW !, WHOAOW ! .... straw-berry..."



chorus (repeating 3x) :

Strawberry lover
Strawberry friends
Strawberry lover
Does anybody understand ? anybody understand ?

Shango has most of the audible lyrics correct, but there are a few minor mistakes that i will fix(change 2 what i hear )


Verse 1:

Strawberry lover, so hard 2 find
It hides behind a stranger, who don't know UR alive
Controversial acts, shared by two in love
In a strawberry world, 2 isnt enough
Children find it so hard, somehow(so hard?) 2 lie
But grown-ups always trick you by and by
(i could learn 2 be?) foolish, ( love only one ?)
Cuz with a strawberry lover, i could bump,fun,fun...

Verse 2:

Passion lives inside me, comes out at night
But worse in the middle of the afternoon
But God is where U find me, something so right
But love (only matters ?) roses in bloom
Have i ever confessed U, til Ur mesmerized ?
Caress U from UR neck 2 UR thighs
Have i (met 2 ?) undress U, don't B surprised
(spoken) : "when a strawberry jam ... drips ... from the radio..."

spoken verse:

Controversial acts, can B shared by 2 in love
But when it's strawberry baby, 2 ain't enough
My brother here he like u, but uhhh... i like U more
You want us both ?... yes ?... then shut the door, WHOAOW

I've seen that only the Japanese CD/LP-pressings have an extra lyric-sheet.

These below are scans of the US innersleeve :

I always wondered,what exactly is a "strawberry lover"? Usually,with Prince songs,I can always figure out the metaphor(s) but this time,I'm totally confused.

SoulAlive said:

I could make some connection that strawberry is seen as a sensual fruit, especially when whipped cream is in the mix lol. But i also think it was a fashionable thing among Prince & associates to use fruit in lyrics : http://prince.org/msg/7/310445

Shango said:

Or maybe somebody just wants to make love in a bathtub filled with strawberries and whipped cream?

SoulAlive said:

That too

I think this is...

..Garden's where you'll find me.
Somethin' so right
`Bout love on a bed of roses in bloom

minneapolisFunq said:

I think it is this...

Have the manor caress u
Til ur mesmerized
Caress u from your neck to your thighs
Have the manor undress u
Don't B surprised

i always thought it sounded like garden and it would make sense since he is talking about strawberries and roses.

it took a group effort but i think we cracked the code

Hey,


1st verse (last line):
Cause w/ a strawberry love I could funk, funk, funk


Chorus
(I need a) Strawberry lover
Cause I've got strawberry plans

bobsteezy said:

if a little strawberry jam....DRIPS from the radio

Can we make this concise and put all the correct lyrics together? I still don't think we've got them all correct. Here's what I think the lyrics are:


Strawberry lover
Strawberry plains
Strawberry lover
Does anybody understand

Strawberry lover
So hard to find
It hides behind a stranger
Who don't know you're alive
Controversial acts, shared by two in love
In a strawberry world, 2 isn't enough
Children find it so hard, so hard to lie
While grown-ups always trick you, by and by
I could learn to be foolish, and love only one
Cos with a strawberry lover, I could bump, fun, fun

I need a strawberry lover
Cos I got strawberry plains
I need a strawberry lover
Does anybody understand?


Passion lives inside me
comes out at night
But worse in the middle of the afternoon
The garden's where you'll find me, something's so right
About love on a bed of roses in bloom
Have I ever caressed you, till you're mesmerized
Caress you from your neck to your thighs
Heaven where I'll undress you, don't be surprised
when the strawberry jam...drips...from the radio.

need a strawberry lover
Cos I got strawberry plains
I need a strawberry lover
Does anybody understand?

strawberry lover (strawberry lover, ooh oh oh)

Controversial acts, can be shared by 2 in love
But when it's strawberry baby, 2 ain't enough
My brother here he like you, but i like you more
You want us both ? Yes ? Then shut the door! WHOAOW!

WHOAOW! OW! OW!

Straw-berry!

strawberry lover
Cos I got strawberry plains
I need a strawberry lover
Does anybody understand? Does anybody understand?
I need a strawberry lover
Cos I got strawberry plains
I need a strawberry lover
Does anybody understand? anybody understand?

I need a strawberry lover
Cos I got strawberry plains
I need a strawberry lover
Does anybody understand?

I think he's saying "I've got strawberry plans",which would rhyme with "anybody understand"

this pic is great,I love it!
