The lyrics to his version of this 1972 Joni Mitchell classic are:

I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paint
I used to be frightened of the devil
and drawn to those who weren't afraid
Remember when you told me
love was touching souls?
Well, surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me from time to time in these lines
You're in my blood like holy wine...you're so bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
and still be on my feet...still be on my feet

I use http://www.lyrics.ly/albums.php/Prince sometimes for Prince lyrics - they have a lot of different stuff to go around. But the best resource for P lyrics is probly http://www.princelyrics.co.uk - it looks good and is pretty reliable.

I use google. Type in 'Lyrics A Case of You.'
You can find lyrics for practically any song this way.
There are more lyrics to the song than the lyrics Prince uses.

The song was written and performed by Joni Mitchell first and foremost. Look her up online and I'm sure you'll be able to find the lyrics to it. The song is from her "Blue" album, which is well worth picking up. Her original performance of the song is much better than P's cover IMO. She also re-recorded "A Case Of You" for her latest album "Both Sides Now" with her deeper, more aged voice and some nice orchestral music backing it.

The complete lyrics to the song:


From the album "Both Sides Now"

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constant in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
And I sketched your face on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
"Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet
