I've always liked the lyrics to If I Was Your Girlfriend. A song about a man who wants to get closer to his girlfriend and dig deeper into their relationship, but she apparently just won't let him.
He is so desperate that he asks her that "If I was your girlfriend, would you let me get closer to you?" (Well, not literally, but you know what I mean). It's a song about feeling lonely in a relationship and I think the lyrics are brilliant and very sincere. I have highlighted some of the lines that appeal the me the most: Look at the bargains over here, ladies... If I was your girlfriend Would u remember 2 tell me all the things u forgot When I was your man? Hey, when I was your man If I was your best friend Would u let me take care of u and do all the things That only a best friend can Only best friends can If I was your girlfriend If I was your girlfriend If I was your girlfriend Would u let me dress u I mean, help u pick out your clothes Before we go out Not that you’re helpless But sometimes, sometimes Those are the things that bein’ in love’s about If I was your one and only friend Would u run 2 me if somebody hurt u Even if that somebody was me? Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be Please If I was your girlfriend If I was your girlfriend Would u let me wash your hair Could I make u breakfast sometime Or then, could we just hang out, I mean Could we go 2 a movie and cry together Cuz 2 me baby that would be so fine If I was your girlfriend Baby can I dress u I mean, help u pick out your clothes Before we go out (if I was your girlfriend) Listen girl, I ain’t sayin you’re helpless But sometimes, sometimes Those are the things that bein’ in love’s about (sugar) Sugar do u know what I’m saying 2 u this evening? (sugar) Maybe u think I’m being A little self-centered (if I was your girlfriend) But i, I said I want 2 be (sugar) All of the things u are 2 me (sugar) Surely, surely u can see (if I was your girlfriend) {{title repeated in background}} Is it really necessary 4 me 2 go out of the room Just because u wanna undress? I mean, we don’t have 2 make children 2 make love And then, we don’t have 2 make love 2 have an orgasm Your body’s what I’m all about Can I see u? I’ll show u Why not? U can think it’s because I’m your friend I’ll do it 4 u Of course I’ll undress in front of u! And when I’m naked, what shall I do? How can I make u see that it’s cool? Can’t u just trust me? If I was your girlfriend u could Oh, yeah, I think so Listen, 4 u naked I would dance a ballet Would that get u off? Then tell me what will! If I was your girlfriend, would u tell me? Would u let me see u naked then? Would u let me give u a bath? Would u let me tickle u so hard u’d laugh and laugh And would u, would u let me kiss u there You know down there where it counts I’ll do it so good I swear I’ll drink every ounce And then I’ll hold u tight and hold u long And together we’ll stare into silence And we’ll try 2 imagine what it looks like Yeah, we’ll try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like Yeah, we’ll try 2 imagine what silence looks like Yeah, we’ll try... RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |

Never be afraid to tell the truth. But remember not all of your truth is other people’s business. | |

Also Adore has very beautiful and heartfelt lyrics, it describes perfectly how you feel when you are truly in love. Although the whole text is a highlight to me I particularly like the "bolded" part:
Ooh, baby Darlin', U're the best, oh girl Chorus: Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U If God one day struck me blind, your beauty I'd still see Love's 2 weak 2 define just what U mean 2 me From the first moment I saw U Ooh, I knew U were the one That night I had 2 call U I was rappin' till the sun came up Tellin' U just how fine U look In a word, U were sex All of my cool attitude U took My body was next U made love 2 me Like U were afraid Was U afraid of me? Was I the first? Was I your every fantasy? That's why... (chorus) When we be makin' love I only hear the sounds Heavenly angels crying above Tears of joy pourin' down on us They know we need each other They know U are my fix (Cuz U know) I know that U know I ain't cheatin' baby (I ain't cheatin' on U, baby) They know this is serious I ain't fuckin' just 4 kicks No, this condition I got is crucial, crucial baby U could say that I'm a terminal case U could burn up my clothes (U could burn up my clothes) Smash up my ride (U could smash up..) Well, maybe not the ride But I got 2 have your face all up in the place (Do U think?) I'd like 2 think that I'm a man of exquisite taste (I'm a man of exquisite taste) A hundred percent Italian silk imported Egyptian lace Nothin' baby, I said nothin' baby could compare (Nothin' could compare) 2 your lovely face (2 your lovely face) Do U know what I'm sayin' 2 U this evening? (What U sayin' about?) Tryin' tryin' 2 say (I hear what your sayin') Just tryin' 2 say that until Till the end of time, I'll be there 4 U I'll be there 4 U U own my heart, U own my mind (Truly adore U) I truly adore U (Darlin') U don't know what U mean 2 me, baby (Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U) Baby, baby (U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U) Till the end of time I'll be there 4 U (Adore U) Can I talk 2 U, tell U what U mean 2 me? {CHORUS x2 in BG} Everytime U wander, I'll be your eyes so U can see I wanna show U things that I show no other I wanna be more than, more than your mother More than your brother I wanna be like no, like no other If U need me, I'll never leave I know that U know without U there is no me, there is no me Without U there is no sea, there is no shore Love is 2 weak 2 define how much I adore U child, U child The last words U hear, the last words U hear Until (Until the end of time {x7 in BG}) I'll be there 4 U, baby Be with me darlin' til the end of all time I'll give U my heart, huh, I'll give U my mind, huh I'll give U my body yeah, I'll give U my time 4 all time I am with U, U are with me U are with me, U are with me RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |

I always thought it was Horse, that steroid. I really like the lyrics to Sexuality, One Song, and Beautiful Strange. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

Sexy Dancer and it still sounds great, its in my all time Top 10 This lyric ain't that profound Sexy Dancer you got my body screamin, Sexy Dancer you got me just a creamin i swear to gawd the muthafucka wrote "sd" on a napkin. | |

I never thought Prince was as great as a lyrics writer as he is a musician, but he can write some real good lyrics when he wants to. Some of my faves:
- SOTT - If I was your girlfriend - In a large room with no light - 5 women | |
