Gold has multiple meanings, but that's just me. shrug

As for double meanings, I can't think of any off the top of my head right now.

Here U go! I think it's the bold part!razz

I guess I shoulda known
by the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
that believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night,
I guess that makes it all right
And you say what have I got to lose?
And honey I say

Little red corvette
Baby you're much too fast
Little red corvette
You need a love that's gonna last

I guess I shoulda closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place
where your horses run free
'Cuz I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night,
I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?
"Oh yeah

Little red corvette
Baby you're much too fast,
yes your Little red corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last, oh-oh

A body like yours (A body like yours)
Oughta be in jail (Oughta be in jail)
'Cuz it's on the verge of bein' obscene
('Cuz it's on the verge) (of bein' obscene)

Move over baby, gimme the keys
(Move over baby, gimme the keys)
I'm gonna try to tame your
(I'm gonna try to tame)
little red love machine
(your little red love machine)

Little red corvette
Baby you're much to fast
Little red corvette
you need to find a love that's gonna last
Little red corvette
Honey you got to slow down (Got to slow down)
Little red corvette
'Cuz if you don't
your gonna run little red corvette right in the ground
(Little red corvette)

Right down to the ground
(Honey you got to slow down)
U -- U -- U got to slow down
(Little red corvette)
You're movin' much to fast (too fast)
You need to find a love that's gonna last

Girl, you got an ass like I never seen
And the ride... I say the ride is so smooth
you must be a limousine
Baby you're much too fast
Little red corvette
You need a love,
YOu need a love that's, that's gonna last, oh

oh (Little red corvette)
You got to slow down
(You got to slow down)
Little red corvette
'Cuz if you don't, 'cuz if you don't,
You gonna run your body right into the ground
(Right into the ground)
Right into the ground

Right into the ground
(Right into the ground)

It seems like it...although that part you wouldn't think that is what he's talking about. I always thought it was the literal car (cuz I didn't know Prince -at all) Not that I know him now, just know a little bit more though.

I think Somewhere Here On Earth is about him trying to inspire someone to get their ish together, in order to be able to enjoy the kind of life they want and he wants for them, masked in a romantic Prince ballad. The sentiment is You Can Make It If You Try. In the hood we say "I'll meet you at the top." Really clever cat when he wanna be.

"you don't have to fear me...somebody, somewhere put you down...whatever you feel its time to heal... sound like she do have issues, i wondor what kind of issues. but if she know prince like her and she don't do nothing, she def has issues.

by chance are you referring to vanity thoutgh? i thought she dealt with her drug problems?

I don't think its gender, or person specific, I think if he were talking hed be almost cussing the person out for just not holding up their end of things and it wouldnt be all lush and pretty like the Prince show package he put it in. Hes definitely big on overcoming fears and doing your thing in the face of all adversity. Remember Don Corleone smacking Johnnie Fontaine? Its kinda like that.

Wow! That's a lot, and I didn't know. But Computer Blue, I thought it was about something else? Someone described it as him having all sorts of lovers but not the kind that he really desired like an intimate relationship. Or is that why it's a song with double meaning?

I thought Little Red Corvette was just about sex.

Is Raspberet Beret about his first time having sex?

Sometimes I think I make the mistake of taking the lyrics literally..
