PrintableStop tellin' me what you want me to hear
Stop tellin' me what you want me to hear Stop trippin' on something you overheard Love is spread without a word Stop givin' me your wish list Love is free from all this Like a bird flyin' over the hilltops Love is like the sky, you know it never stops From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks Love is forever, whatever you want it to be Love is not a game you can play on the floor You gotta stop keepin' the score If you wanna play me like you did before You better stop and walk out the door I could stay around and kiss you if you like But who's gonna get you high in the middle of the night? Like a bird flyin' over the hilltops Love is like the sky, you know it never stops From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks Love is forever, whatever you want it to be I see you standin' with your back on the wall You better get your hands up and clap with the song If you don't wanna get yours, then let me get mine Won't be no drama cuz we have a good time What's the point of giving me ultimatums Smilin' at my friends when you really hate 'em Tryin' to convince me that I should too What's the point? Stop worrying about what people say We ain't gonna stop them anyway Love can do anything if you try, come on Spread your wings and let's fly Like a bird flyin' over the hilltops Love is like the sky, you know it never stops From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks Love is forever, forever, forever.... Like a bird flyin' over the hilltops Love is like the sky, you know it never stops From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks Love is forever, whatever you want it to be  | |

75% of his back catalogue supports your statement as well... And it's what he's conveying that sticks with me, even if the words he chooses aren't exactly Shakespeare... | |

he does a beautiful job with the bridged-chorus
and the music matches the lyrics beautifully at that point i could fall in love  with a whole album of "Love" songs | |

I believe Love is about his fanbase: Wishlists, ultimatums. Folks always talking shit about Larry and how they took nasty Prince away. I'm glad he's finally saying something about it.And I swear that he refrences the Larry/Kirk Haters too. What's the point in giving me ultimatums Smiling at my friends when you really hate them Trying to convince me that I should too ... what's the point?! I love this song too... [Edited 3/11/06 23:26pm] I already said so on the "fave 3121 lyrics" thread, but no one wanted to agree with me. I think it's obvious. Also, the line "I see you standing with your back on the wall" can be seen as "now I got you with this song and you cannot complain about my music anymore". [Edited 3/12/06 3:09am] | |

Prince's lyrics have pretty much always had a simplistic tone to them.
Love is no different. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
