Raspberry Berrett is definately about vaginas.
The outdoor means that she's a rebel.

Five and Dimes are essentialy old drug stores--Hence and "In" door, and an "out" door.

What Prince was saying is that she had utter disregard for her own safety and she wasn't very smart. Hence she walked through the wrong door.

THe songs basic themes are that all you need are vaginas becuase you don't need commen sense. Just vaginas and some dihyrogen monoxide (as is evident in his referenc to rain on the barn roof lyrics).

I don't think that she was a huge rebel or 2 dumb 2 know the difference between in and out. She has a subtle rebelous nature. Less is more. I think that she was just 2 cool 2 come in 1 door just because it says 2. She does what she wants. That's sexy!

Raspberry Beret

1 2, 1 2 3, huh
Yeah
I was workin’ part-time in a 5-and-dime

My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
Cuz I was a bit 2 leisurely
It seems that I was busy doin’ somethin’ close 2 nothin’
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door

CHORUS:

She wore a raspberry beret
The kind U’d find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
Built like she was, huh, she had the nerve 2 ask me

If I planned 2 do her any harm, hmph
So looka here, I put her on the back of my bike and ah...
We went ridin’ down by Old Man Johnson's farm
I said now overcast days never turned me on
But somethin’ ‘bout the clouds and her mixed
She wasn't 2 bright, but I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks
CHORUS

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof

And the horses wonder who U are
The thunder drowns out what the lightning sees, huh
And U feel like a movie star
Listen, they say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again
I wouldn't change a stroke cuz baby I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then
Lord, ras...


(CHORUS)

The kind U find, the kind U find, oh no no!
Uh huh, uh huh
Where have all the raspberry women gone?
Yeah
I think I, I think I, I think I love her!

(CHORUS)

No, no, no
No, no, no, I love...
Tell me where have all the raspberry women gone? {fade out}
I think I love...

In the video, the girl sitting down beside him that had the beret on...she was blonde.
"Did u love somebody
But got no love in return?
Did u understand the real meaning of love?
That it just is and never yearns"

It's about anal sex.

"I went into her out door, out door"

But it's not the lady in the song who's outdoor is vilated.

The lyric goes "She went in through the out door."
And the only other person there except old Mr. McGee and some horses, is Prince.

Thus, we can probably assume that she used sometype of dildo on him.

This song is akin to Reflection in a strange way. I don't think he was striving for any hidden message her - just a cool, rambling tale about a girl he met.
