loveI LOVE IT!! It's one of my absolute favs. headbang
Prince telling it like it is as only he can, what's not to love about that?


Style Lyrics

(Style) Style, uh!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Style, dig it
(Style) Style, come on
Uh, style
Style is not something that comes in a bottle
Style is more like Jackie O. when she was doin' Aristotle
Style is not a logo that sticks 2 the roof of one's ass
Style is like a second cousin 2 class

U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style, say what?
U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style, check it

Style ain't sittin' court side with the owner of the team
Style is owning the court and charging 'em all a fee
Style is not lusting after someone because they're cool
Style is loving yourself 'til everyone else does 2

U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style, maybe
U got it! - Style, well well
U got it! - Style

Bridge:
Style don't get drunk on a Saturday night
Try 2 dress up every Sunday mornin' bright
Style don't get married then break the vow in a year
Style is keepin' a promise
Raise your hand y'all if U hear me

(Style) {x2}

Style is not biting style when U can't find the funk
Style is the face U make on a Michael Jordon dunk
Style ain't the jeep U bought when U know your broke ass got bills
Style is lettin' your lover drive while U talk on the phone and chill

U got it! - Style
U got it! - Style, maybe
U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style

Bridge:
Style is a gold-tooth smile with an attitude
Style is a peaceful wild postin' the rude
Style is growing your own food
Style is a non-violent march
Style is an accurate account of what's inside every heart (Style)

Style is not a lie
Style is a man that cries
Style is the glow in a pregnant woman's eyes

(Style) {x4}

U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style, do that, do that
U got it! - Style, got it?
U got it! - Style, mad, come on

(Style) U got it! - Yeah
(Style) U got it!
Style is a peaceful wild y'all
(Style) U got it! - Style
(Style) U got it!
Style is not thinking about style
So let me stop (Style)

(Style) {repeats in BG}
It's nice man
What U call that?
Style, I like that
It's about me?
(Keep, keep, keepin' on, people gotta keep, keep, keepin' on)
Right on (U got it!)
I ain't got no job, but I got style
Style, yeah

(Style) U got it!
Oh yeah
Hang on, hang on...

Style is buying your moms a house
Style is a clean mouth
Style is puppy breath
Style is no fear of death
Style is Ali's jab
Style is hailing a cab (Style)
Then U know, givin' 'em the finger when they pass your ass!

(Style) (U got it!) Bonnie, Bonnie
(Style) (U got it!) Oh yeah
(Style) Shirley, shake your ass, Shirley
(Sytle) Shirley, Shirley, I love U, Shirley


(Style) (U got it!) {repeat in BG)
Style is Mayte in the shower
Style is a soul new power
Style is when all black men are free
Style is U and me


(U got it!) {x3}

It's another one of those Prince songs that would be awesome at four minutes, but unfortunately runs way over seven or eight minutes. Like George Clinton, he sometimes just doesn't know when to let a groove end and leave you wanting more.
Some of his eight or nine or even ten-plus minute songs are great, and I can listen to them over and over, but I think "Style" meanders a bit too long.

I don't really listen to the album that much but I do like the lyrics, I find them kind of uplifting, although the comment amount the marriage vow and a year later always makes me cringe. Interesting song really becuase it is rather personal IMHO.

I agree...that's what I was thinking.

I thinks it's alright to listen to once in a while, but not to jam to or anything.

I wouldn't even consider it a song. It's Prince TALKING, it's not like you can actually sing along or anything.

I like Style. It's funky and fun to dance to.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I absolutely love style. I think it promotes self esteem, encoraging the listener to feel beter about thmselves."Style is loving yourself till everyone else does to."

I like Style quite a bit. It's a fun, breezy self esteem song.

it's not that long but what bores me is that the last 1:30 / 2 mins ruins the song...just my opinion

Could have done with some more style in its production and lyrics, in my opinion. confused
