For me it was what he said at the beginning of "eye No" on the Lovesexy album. I thought it was "Reason my voice is so clear there's no snot in my brain" but now I think he said correct me if I'm wrong "Reason my voice is so clear there's no smack in my brain".redface

Which official Prince lyrics have given you a shock once you saw them? Examples of songs you sang wrong in blissful ignorance... was your interpretation better? smile

This thread is in response to Brother915's misinterpretation of Hello's lyric as:

"we're against hungry children...our BREAKFAST stands tall...there's just as much hungry here at home." lol



Well back in the day say 1984 i thought the lyrics in THE Beautiful Ones said: " I beg your daddy bout you" and it really said: "I'm begging down on my knees"

and also in Adore i heard the lyrics as: "Last night i had to call you" When it really was: "That night I had 2 call U" cool

My ex seriouly thought "Every wants to find Graffiti Bridge" was..."Everybody wants to fuck the greedy bitch".
No joke.

When I first heard "Controversy"--my older brother had it on a mix tape--I thought he was saying "ControPussy" nuts

My sis and i always sing "Keep up with the porn stars, don't stop til you get it up" along with MJ's "Don't stop til you get enough".

Strange Relationship--I use to think he said "honey if u LET me I might do something rash" instead of "LEFT" me which changes the whole lattitude as if i was drankin a Corona.


Until a moment ago, i thought it WAS "honey if you LET me..."

Thanx for the info Rdhull, i always thought that was kind of weird.

u got the look:

clouds in time
ugly lights
ev'ry body's affected

for

closin' time
ugly lights
ev'rybody's affected

and i always thought it was so cool that prince was conducting the clouds in the sky!

my sister heard "honey, we've been together/honey, for too long" in new position, as:

cotton alley! we've been together
cotton alley! for too long

...and once you know that, you can really hear it!!

The funny thing is I like the "let" me connotation...sort of like "if u let me I might do something rash...good or bad cause Im freaky like that".

mine is one that I only learned about when I started coming on the org.

the line from "Lovesexy"

I had always thought he sang:

"You want me to [just] swim in you love sea"

where it's actually [as people here have pointed out],

"You want me to swivle in your love seat"...



I think there is still some debate as to what he is really saying.Does anyone have the printed lyrics to this part of the song?
...


Well in the whole speech he is talking about furniture, lving room, writing his name on the walls (of da poontang damn!) so its probably swivel in yo love seat...theres no reason for love sea to be there.

GETT OFF

i thought until about a year ago that he sang:

"but it's God's curly hair, wish u had some drawers on now..."

i thought it quite a poetic way 2 refer 2 "the hair down there." i was somewhat saddened to learn it's

"butterscoth curly hair..."

so i still sing it with my lyric!
let me come over it's a beautiful day to play with you in the dark

until today, i too thought that it was "honey if you LET me", in strange relationship.

it's going to be hard to reconcile myself to the correct version. i've bin digging that song for 15 years just the way i like it...

a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, i might just do something rash 2nite...

glad i saw those lyrics one day.

I don't think it's either, I always heard it as "Making love til Cherries GONE"

As in the phrase "pop your cherry" for losing virginity.

Time's like this DTTLyrics is really missed. Nowhere to check Prince B-sides, outtakes and NPGMC lyrics.

Surely someone would take the info of the guy and host at another site? Oh well...

In Kiss I didn't understand when he said, "Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with" I can't even tell you what I thought he was saying, it just didn't make sense to me then one day I got it and I was like, rolleyes
