U Make My Sun Shine

Come on over here baby, uh
Put your ass right down here on this throne
Don't U say nary a little word
Until U learn how 2 leave, leave that devil alone
Let me run it down
I'd keep your paper coming in real steady
I could tell U what the "I" in the pimp stands 4
If U're ready, ready, ready
Your eyes are wide shut
U cannot even see
That behind your back, he calls U names
But U're still a queen 2 me

In this trusted place U can erase
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
All the time U waste in that paper chase
Is time better spent in these arms of mine
My heaven sent angel so divine
U're my complement
U make my sun shine
U make my sun shine at night

Listen 2 me, now baby, oh
Let me tell ya, tell ya what I gotta do (Do)
(Gotta stop lettin' these devils)
I gotta stop lettin' them devils
(Define what it takes 2 be a woman)
Stop lettin' 'em tell me what it takes 2 be a woman
Gotta never stop believing in me, myself, and I (Me)

Pretty little lies that the rich keep using
I opened up my eyes
The only reason they're winning is 'cuz I keep losing
Gotta get back 2 my rightful place
This is the subject of my song
The queen of the human race
This is where I belong

In this trusted place U can erase (Can erase)
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
(Every little tear droppin')
All the time U waste in that paper chase (U, time)
Is time better spent in these arms of mine (These arms of mine)
Heaven sent angel so divine (Heaven sent)
U're my complement (So divine)
U make my sun shine at night

My lover, U're truly killing me
With the words I wish in every song
Come here now pretty baby let me take U somewhere
And put your real clothes back on
We've both been in the dark much 2 long
But now that we got the knowledge of the truth we can both be strong
Kings and queens gettin' it on!

Trusted place U can erase
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
All the time U waste (Wasted time)
In that paper chase
(Can't U see that it's all time better spent right here)
Is time better spent in these arms of mine
My heaven sent angel so divine (Sweet angel, U're so divine)
U're my complement
U make my sun shine (U make my sun shine)
U make my sun shine at night

Can U feel me?
Sun shine, sun shine, sun shine
Doobay doobay doobay doobay (Doo)



Isn't this a beautiful song? I love it, just like D'Angelo's "Untitled".
I never understood a word of the bridge before the last chorus, glad to see that dtt-lyrics worked it out!
I wonder if there's an even longer version than the one available as part of the Chocolate Invasion album.
Anyway, this song, together with "When Will We B Paid?" is recent classic Prince to me.

Would anyone be kind enough to figure out some chords for this one?

IMO, no it's not. I can think of few Prince songs that are as stomach-churningly saccharin.

It's like Disc 2 of Emancipation rolled up into one singular, painfully plodding soul ballad-by-numbers.

Yep, as you can see, I ain't that big on it.

I love this song , great harmonies , it has sort of gospel feel to it

Never heard it!

I can understand people thinking about the song like that, but I think it somehow does not cross the line. It's just beautiful, IMO.

Sorry, but when you've heard one drippy soul yawn-fest, you've heard them all.

oh , well to each their own

Dewrede said:

Lovely ballad, with a great gospel feel to it. I can understand though why some find it too saccharin. But if you like soul you'll have to love this song!
