Name a P. song you like that has really dumb lyrics

P. is a gifted songwriter but he doesn't nail it all the time. He has written his share of clunkers but sometimes he can pull it off, even if the lyrics are badly written or corny as hell. What is a Prince song that has bad lyrics but, for whatever reason, you like anyway.

My pick is Space. The lyrics:

I never been one 2 hide my feelings
Baby, U blow my mind
I painted your face upon my ceiling
I stare at it all the time (I…)
Imagine myself inside your bedroom (Oh I…)
Imagine myself in your sky (U…)
U are the reason there's bass in my boom (Oh U…)
U are the reason I'm high


BRIDGE:
If U and I were just 10 feet closer
Then I'd make U understand
That everything I wanna do 2 your body, baby
I would do 2 your hand
Then U'd be hip 2 the deep rush
Deeper than the boom of the bass
With every other flick of the pink plush
The closer we get 2 the space


(The space) {x3}
Don't U want 2 go?
(The space) - Where the souls go
(The space) - Where the tears flow
(The space) - Where the love grows
Do U want 2 go?


I never been one 4 this thing obsession
But just keep your eye on my hips
The circles they make will be my confession
Just say the word and I'll strip
I've had dreams of us cuddling on the planet Mars
Then when I wake up, ooh, I'm all covered in sex
With eyes that fall somewhere between rubies and stars
Don't look at me, baby, or I'll flex


BRIDGE


(The space) - Go
(The space) - Flow
(The space) - Grow
Do U want 2 go?
(The space) - Where the souls go
(The space) - Where the tears flow
(The space) - Where the love grows
Do U want 2 go?


Bass


T-minus 60 seconds and counting
Arm light on (The space)
Switching command 2 internal {x2}
Missile and new count in sync?
Affirmative
Ready {x2}
Check {x2}
Affirmative


(The space) {x2}
Closer we get 2 the space
(The space) {repeat 2 fade)



Now I don't think this song is particularly written well. "Everything I want to do with your body I would do 2 your hand". Yuck! That's TMI, Mr. Nelson! And his threat that if she looks at him he will flex. What the hell does that mean. Was that the only rhyme he could come up with for "covered in sex". And does "covered in sex" mean what I think it means because if it does...double yuck!

So you see I have problems with the lyrics but I like the song. The acoustic version is beautiful and I dig the other remixes as well. The album version is just fine, a nice mellow drink of water that goes down too easy. But I don't like the lyrics, which sound like the ramblings of a drooling horny astronaut.

So how about y'all? You have any songs that are like this for you?

This lyric has long been disputed.

'Hand' has going for it the fact that it clearly would rhyme.

'Head' would give the lyric a more sensible interpretation.

(For what it is worth, the WB songbook transcription - which is just a view rather than Prince's confirmation - goes with 'hand').

Head would make a whole lot more sense...and be considerably less messy.

These are extremely dumb!

"I am a dog outside your door
I have been there since a quarter to four
You are a cat licking intense
I bite your leg in self-defense

Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh
Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh"

A man can do to a hand what he does to a woman, that is what Prince was saying; I think he was being humorous.

love to the 9s when mayte and Tony M. open their mouths with that corny rap. Also push weak music and corny rap. Snatching up kiddies like a circus clown?

Couldn't doing her hand be like getting a hand job? boxed
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.
