Let your favourite succinct Prince lines from any song flow.

Brought to my current attention is a line from The War: money just got sold y'all

The best prince line was found on his coffee table at his last house party.

I like "diggin' the scene"

ooooh!!!

"'cuse me but I need a mouth like yours to help me forget the girl who just walked out my door"


"pardon me I wanna talk to you, I maybe kinda shy but I just wanna tell you what I wanna do, someone over there says he wants to get to know ya, I don't care cause I really wanna hold ya but I'm so scared that he might do somethin to you that you'd like"

when u walked in i woke up

The line, "I write a check and the bank bounce!" from Prettyman, on the Rave album. Sh*t! Go on witcho bad self, Prince.

Other good lines:

"Arrivaderci cock poppy, that was hip yesterday, from the title track on the same album."

"A blow job doesn't mean blow." from Sister, Dirty Mind

"As a matter of fact, you can jack me off." Jack Me Off, Controversy

Lots of others, too...

when i'm workin
at my jobba
i'm the victim
you're the robba


i just like it that he says "jobba".

"If anybody asks U
U belong to prince"

(Private Joy)

and

"In the early morning
When I’m feeling nice
I walk by the mirror
And kiss it twice
When it comes 2 perfume
It’s on the shelf
I get it down
If there ain't nobody around
I, I, I smell myself"

(Prettyman)

Listen to the song Style from emancipation and you hear a dozen of great Prince one-liners

Apart from that:
"Lets try to imagine what silence looks like....." (If i was your girlfriend)

with u baby i'm the richest in the world i don't need money cause ur my girl-I Love U In Me
If a man is considered guilty for what goes on in his mind give me the electric chair for all my future crimes-Electric Chair
