Ugh. yep...for me it is between "the wall of Berlin" and the "pager " reference mentioned earlier...I think "Berlin" bothers me more...could've found a more current event to make his point I think... | |

LittleSmedley said: JuliePurplehead said: 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. 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 I can't stand the way he throws "Desparate Housewives" in there...just keep "Dynasty"... | |

True. I first heard this song at the BET awards, and he says "Sytem of things" instead of Berlin. Which i thought was a good line. Then i get the album version a while later and THAT horrid line pops up. | |

Keep on smilin' - every girl and boy Remember when U were children U had toys What the hell does that have to do with anything? He's trying to make ya feel the excitement of your youth...makes perfect sense to me... Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

That's hilarious! Its a bittersweet song, but I liked it in the midst of otherwise confusing "Rave" material (only heard the album once, so don't have much 2 really say about it) had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

When Prince is lyrically off, he's pretty amateurish. wheres the baklava 1 from????? | |

When I listen to Prince I'm not expecting to hear poetry, just something that's easy to dance to. (And coming from the UK, I don't always understand his English anyway). It's a shame really because the only lyrics that stand out are the really bad ones. More cringeworthy efforts are:
PUSH From Pakistan 2 Poland straight into yo' town Snatchin' up kiddies like a circus clown The One U Wanna C I got a lotta money I don't wanna spend it on me I like pretty thangs U're just as pretty as U can be which both sound really shallow and desperate International Lover We ask that U please observe the "No Letting Go" sign I anticipate a few turbulence along the way But the rest of International Lover is absolutely brilliant. So what if Prince doesn't know much about grammar or meteorology! | |

At least that's what I get from it.  [Edited 9/14/07 3:58am] surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water

[Edited 9/14/07 3:58am] I'm taking it as he's ripping her open like a surgeon. OK no-one is going to answer the question so I looked it up: 'When she's making love, it's like surgery' is from I Love U in Me, the B-side of Arms of Orion (one of his best songs). I'm trying hard not to understand what "Shake your money maker Get wild!" could mean. | |

'People all over the world call me Prince but you can call me Mr Goodnight' and the bit about picking a dress and him calling so you can say which one you've picked and he'll put on his matching suit! But I love the song anyway its great, so funny  I love this song 2, but the verse where he say we can watch chaka la or something like that throws me off. Overall, Mr. GoodNight is the song I have to play everyday. | |
