I THINK PRINCE IS AT HIS BEST WHEN THE LYRICS CAN BE TAKEN AS SPIRITUAL OR SEXUAL(COMPUTER BLUE ANOTHER EXAMPLE).
CHECK LYRICS BELOW

The message you're about to hear is not meant for transmission
Should only be access to the privacy of your mind
The words are intense so my dear if you dare to listen
Take off your clothes/Meet me between the lines

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane/I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game/Feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you

The touch you're about to feel is the one you've been wishin' for
It's been here like an echo inside your space and time
It's about to get freaky cause of places that I'll be kissin'
Are the places that no one, no man could ever find

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane/I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game (God forbid)
Feel ashamed and ordained (God forbid)/When I lay my hands on you

Nobody knows/Like God knows/Where the deepest part of your river flows
Snap Snap/Unto these nylon hose/Around your thigh my finger goes slowly
Like a cat tip-toes/Until I reach the cap nose
I will touch thee in the softest manner/Like Europa in the hands of Santana

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane/I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only choice in this forsaken game/Feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you/When I lay my hands on you

I thought it was "Feel ashamed and more tamed," but I like that...ordained.

did he write these wile jhe was a JW? I think he did...

Things that make u go HMMM...i don't know about spiritual.

absolutely love this song. it's 1 of the best song Prince has ever created. it's sexual and spiritual @ the same time. this song should b apart of everybody's "Slow Jam" list, or @least think so.

I love that song, Kinda reminds me of I'll stay by Funkadelic. Definitely the highlight of the High sessions.

I always thought it was, "are the places that no other man could ever find"...

Regardless, FANTASTIC song! Insanely sexy...

That's another one I NEED on CD. P - what's up?!!

I love the lyrics, they are so deep and passionate.

I think the sexiest thing about it is the connection to the spirit. Not to mention how thorough & intimate... Why can't more men even fathom sex/lovemaking this way???

I GOT THE LYRICS FROM AN npgmc LYRIC SITE,SO THEY MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY ACCURATE.I AGREE WITH THE LINE "THE PLACES THAT I'LL B KISSIN R THE PLACES THAT NO OTHER MAN CAN EVER FIND".BUT I'M 2 LAZY 2 TYPE UP THE WHOLE THING SO I CUT AND PASTE INSTEAD.

Listen to this song on Windows Media Player, with the 'battery random' visualization on, full screen - that's the video that suits the song.

I always interpreted these song lyrics to be about his guitar. Maybe?

Every once in a while P makes a song that I can't get out of my head or out of my CD player. (Made my own CD-r) and this was it.

I wish the video clip had been a little longer, but this song is just sooo beautiful.

Sometimes the illusion of sex is better than the spoken word and this song is just that a beautiful illusion.

Something to dream about.

This is just my opinion.

Peace Yall
