Hey!

We've all come across 'em - Prince lyrics or ad libs that we just can't understand. They're not on the lyric sheet, and more often than not, they're so low in the mix that they hardly qualify as a lyric at all.

Well, maybe we can help each other out!

This thread is dedicated to deciphering your favourite Prince "say what's?". If you've got one, post it here! If you've got an answer to one, do likewise! And maybe we can lay to rest some lyric questions that've been burning for years!

Here's mine:

In U Got the Look, right before the "Well, here we are - ladies and gentlemen" part, Prince mumbles something, and the closest I can figure is, "there's no jokin' you", but that can't be right...

Any ideas?

Well, let's start from the top - this song you speak of, "U Got the Look", what album is that on?

In other words, I got nothin. Not even a good joke

If UR serious, and UR probably not, after he says "ladies and gentlemen", he says "The dream we all dream of bpy versus girl in the world series of love."
Now don't y'all tease me if this joker is messin' around.

You mean boy, right?

If so, I think you're correct abt the lyrics..

AndGodCreatedMe said:

Yes, I meant boy (typing too fast and not proofreading what I wrote.)

That comes after the "Ladies and gentleman," this person is talking about something that comes before he says that.

If it's the part I'm thinking, sorta in the middle of the song, I always thought it was "There's no doubt u do"..."do" meaning have the look of course, LOL!

Could be...

People! I've saved the day!


He says, " There's no girl to do."











:hmm2:now i pose the next question, Why exactly did he say that?

I always thought the first line of Gett Off was:
(excuse my tone)

"I hear the pussy's in the way so as not to offend your new girl"

I've never really taken the time to find out what hes sayin but
I guess it'd be nice to know

"How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve."

That's what I always thought it was.

Even though your line was much more titillating , kidsgirl.

puts it in the misheard lyric file

Okay, hope y'all don't mind if I throw in another one, but I just gotta know:

In Alphabet St., does he say "put yo mouth down, baby, when yo money gets shot"?

And if so,

What the bloody hell does that mean???
