An Honest Man Lyrics...

Who has them and wants to share?

Not the short Crystal Ball version, but the longer unreleased version...

Pretty please?

You know the one I am talking to, the REAL lyrics as sung by Prince on August 24, 1986, at the Le New Morning club in Paris.

The instrumental version is played in Under The Cherry Moon. Does anyone have a version of that?

Are u serious? Don't u have the MOVIE? The lyrics are SO simple:


I want be an Honest Man,
I'll be your slave just understand,
How much I need you,
And if I lie,
That part of you just might cry,
I do know laughter,
I do know tears,
But all is nothing without you near,
We are of one soul,
And if I die,
We'll be together... side by side,
With you I know,
That I can stand,
With you I can be,
An Honest Man

hmm, it's not like I've seen UTCM more than 1 and a half times
but I don't recall there being a version of this song with any
lyrics in the film.

all I know is the version that Prince is playing at the piano
right at the beginning of the movie. the long instrumental one.

I didn't even know that a longer vocal version than the one
on Crystal Ball existed.

omg
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

The version in UTCM is instrumental. I think... I havent seen the movie in ages....

It also might be Mia Bocca I am talking about, sumthing like that, but I thought that An Honest Man was in there somewhere too...

Anyways, Isten, the CB version is whack compared to the real thing...

I mean, the CB version is NOTHING like that original melody, the vocals, the melancholy....

Naughty Prince for picking the wrong version AGAIN...

Well, the lyrics don't fit the live version of the song anyways...

There's a studio rehearsal of this song. It's starts out with Prince, Lisa & Wendy saying something in the background then Prince plays a speeded up version of what's played at the begininng of UTCM 2 a Linn drum beat and casually singing the lyrics above.

Venus de Milo is playing when Mary reads the note in the movie if i'm not mistaken...

The best version of this is on a Parade tour rehearsal bootleg , its sooo much better than the lame version on Crystal Ball , and it has got lots more lyrics I think ? Its the one he performs "Go" on as well.
Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :
