I dont understand why everybody likes

When I Lay My Hands On U

Lawd..that song is like ill

Its droopy, sappy..distorted and I just CANNOT get in2 that song 4 the life of me. Yet people rip on Wedding Feast (which is an interlude) but this dry and dreary cross between a slow jam and a rock-opera is out of the water for me. Love ya Prince but I need 2 understand why are there alot of fans of this one?

Great track! - one of the better ones from that post-Rave pre-Rainbow Children era.

I love the breakdown: "Nobody knows, like I know..." etc. It's quirky, funny, imaginative, somewhat dark... the kind of thing only Prince can get away with. Then he tops it off with a killer guitar solo. Santana would be proud!

When I Lay My Hands On U

Message U're about 2 hear is not meant 4 transmission
Should only be accessed in the privacy of your mind
Words are intense so my dear, if U dare 2 listen
Take off your clothes, meet me between the lines

CHORUS:
Are U ready 4 the touch that makes U go insane
From breast 2 lips 2 cheek 2 mane
I'll pull your hair, U will feel no pain
Are U ready 4 the only 4ever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game
U'll feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on U

The touch U're about 2 feel is the one U've been wishin' 4
It's been here like an echo inside your space and time
It's about 2 get freaky cuz the places that I'll be kissin'
Are the places that no other man could ever find

Oh whiney, get ready 4 the touch that makes U go insane
From breast 2 lips 2 cheek 2 mane
I pull your hair, U will feel no pain (Baby, baby)
Are U ready 4 the only 4ever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game (God forbid)
U'll feel ashamed and ordained (God forbid)
When I lay my hands on U

Ha ha ha
Nobody knows
Like I knows
Where the deepest part of your river flows
Snap, snap
Unto these nylon hose
Around your thighs my finger goes slowly
Like a cat tip-toes
Until I reach the cap stone
I will touch thee in the softest manner
Like Europa in the hands of Santana

CHORUS

When I lay my hands on U (Ha ha)
Love Life,
Love God,
And Only Do Drugs You Need

I don't let people mess with the "Do" but Prince can pull as much as he wants. I'll go up in there with fresh layers and come out looking like Don King! fro falloff
