omg... I love that lyric!! don't even joke about what the haters would say about it

In fact, it's one of the reasons I love the song so much.
In fact, I love all the lyrics in that song. That's why it's my favorite on "Planet Earth".

Obviously it means finding Christ. It's just embarassingly trite and simplistic to just flat out say, "Look, don't you really just wanna go get converted already?"

Yeah, of course it's about Missy Elliot. I just think it's stupid.

Exetergirl said:

by FAR that was the worst.

That whole "open up your bibles" bit he seems to be putting into Purple Rain these days... Makes me cringe

aymiderham said:

I like all of the above but at the end when he talks about flick a light or something and says aight.... Song should have ended a few before this....

"Like a brontosaurus, she was packin' it in"

This piece of shit wins, hands down


All over the world they call me Prince
but you can call me Mr. Goodnight


One of the worst lyrics ever penned.

I want to make you happy, baby. Happier than happy itself.

Jesus H Christ, that's a lame line if I ever heard one.

JuliePurplehead said:

I thought that was really sweet. Especially the way he delivers it. Heh, sometimes I'm a sucker for those kinds of things.

All over the world they call me Prince
but you can call me Mr. Goodnight

Still love that line, I don't care what anyone else says.

"look up in the air, there's my guitar"

the whole of "bambi" but he was young so we'll let him off. I like the song though

"a feast! a feast! a smorgasboard at least!" etc

everyone should be too scared to buy the rainbow children ... there's a lot of skip to next going on

"It's going down y'all, like the wall of Berlin."

Ugh.

The "I want to make you happy, baby" part is not bad, it's just the "happier than happy itself" part that cracks me up. It would have been better if he said "happier than you've ever been before" or something like that.

JuliePurplehead said:

talking about replacing lyrics, an ex girlfriend was absent mindedly singing "Kiss" one day , and instead of singing

"I just want your extra time and your KISS"

she sung

"I just want lips to turn me on KISS"


I think that's better

THANK YOU!! You beat me to it. Dumbest lyric ever! I hate "Dinner with Delores". How about "Dancin' like a white girl on disco dirty floors..."

Hey, I didn't post twice!!

He admits himself that his lyrics aren't always great:

DMSR

I don't wanna be a poet
'Cuz I don't wanna blow it
I don't care 2 win awards
All I wanna do is dance
Play music sex romance
And try my best 2 never get bored

Exetergirl said:

Actually, those are my favorite lyrics from that song.
But I never really got into it much...

Here's two that I don't like.

1). POOM POOM POOM POOM POOM POOM POOM POOM!

2). "From Pakistan To Poland Comin To Your Town, I'm Picking Up Kiddies Like A Circus Clown. MAWWWWW!"

ToraToraDreams said:

God, if he had only said "We don't really care" or "We don't give a care"!

aubergine said:

The Rainbow Children is clever, if you don't like it, it's over your head.

"Last night when I left U fast asleeping
I should have contemplated suicide"
-from "Goodbye"

These lyrics always made me sick....

god said:

I like that line. It shows how heartbroken he is.

This isn't my opinion.

One website listed "the worst lyrics ever."

I don't remember which number it was, but they picked this Manic Monday lyric.

It's just another Manic Monday. I wish it were a Sunday. Cuz that's my fun day. My "I don't have to run" day

They said that was pretty weak on his part.
Personally, I hate it when people who don't know him like I do make fun of his lyrics.

That's our right and our right alone

DreamyPopRoyalty said:

That lyric is pretty fucking awful, though. It's like something a kid would write. That's some "Roses are red, violets are blue" sort of shit.

dustysgirl said:

Yes!!! I heard that yesterday while driving and thought about how stupid it sounded.

sexxydancer said:

...omg...I thought you were going to say something like, "Prince's lyrics are never lame."...this was a big surprise, sexxy...

Yes,Very Big Surprise!!! {Runs to go see if the sky is purple and if pigs r flying}
