"He used to say so strong unafraid to die unfraid of the death that left me hypnotized now staring at his pictures I realize..."

Well that's my favorite part of Sometimes it snow in april and I love the way he sings it

oh and can I just add:

"...no one seemed to care an intraverted this-is-it-look on most of their faces..."

"let me show U baby, I'm a talented boy"

"I would die 4 U"

All the lines from Adore

I think Sometimes it Snows...is his most complete lyric. It's magnificant, but there are always lines in almost every prince song that grab you. Make you think, make you laugh, make you sad.

One thing I loved about The Rainbow Children (and even ONA to a certain extent) was that he finally sounded like he was thinking about his lyrics again.

Some of the stuff he's released over the past few years (particularly NPS, Rave.. & the downloadable stuff) sounded lyrically tired, like he'd run out of ideas. But on TRC he sounded reinvigorated.

"I never meant to cause you any sorrow, I never meant to cause you any pain."

Now, c'mon people. It's gotta be that one!

Read below from "Another Lonely Christmas"

'Have u ever been so lonely that u feel like u were the only 1 in this world?' - Anna Stesia
'Love is 2 weak 2 define just what u mean 2 me' - Adore
'Empty Room - how am I going 2 fill u?'- Empty Room
'Don't make me waste my time, don't make me lose my mind' - The Beautiful 1's

Oh I could go on and on like Silicon!

"I never meant to cause you any sorrow, I never meant to cause you any pain."

"Let me show you baby,I'm a talented boy."

So many, but

"If a man is considered guilty for what goes on in his mind then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes" - Electric Chair - Batman soundtrack

"Let me touch your body 'till your river's an ocean" - When 2 R in love - Lovesexy

oh great, now you think you're my soul mate,

you don't even know what kind of cereal I like,

wrong

Captain Crunch, with soy milk, cause cows are for calves,

you'd probably take me for half,

you don't love me, you're a faker,

you just want me for my acres.

off the top of my noggin:

i ain't got no money...i ain't like those other guys you hang around...i've always dug that line.

'I know that living with me baby was sometimes hard, but I'm willing 2 give it another try'
'If we said we loved each other, instead of smiling , would you cry?'
'I met her in a hotel lobby masterbating with a magazine''people call me rude, I wish we all were nude, I wish there was no black or white I wish there were no rules'-they make me laff those 2!

This is the all time lyric when you thing about your woman/

"Mangos and Nectarines
Sweet Honeydew I beg your pardon
My mouth runneth over with Ectasy
It's true, Baby I love the taste of you!!!"

"Friend
te amo
Lover
te amo
Sister
te amo
Mother, Wife
Baby I stay with you forever of your eyes are so pretty (til death do us part) Yes Sir!!!"

"A little behind the beat, I mean enough to turn you on!!"

"Theres always a rainbow, at the end of every rain"

"i sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth"

"thank u 4 a funky time, call me up whenever u wanna grind!"

"sometimes i trip on how happy we could be"

"i never wanted to be your weekend lover...only wanted to be some kind of friend..."

...there are just so many...

How ever wrong you want, I'll be

Just please don't leave

-Goodbye

If you ever lose someone dear to you

Never say the words, "They're gone"

They'll come back

-Comeback

Plus my above-mentioned choice


-SWANGissurehe'llthinkofmore

Would you kiss three times with your dress up-
side down strokin' laughin'

Or would you stay awake for 13 hours
Listenin' to the grass grow.

I ask thee...
Would you? Could you?
Love me 2the9's?

That one just poped in my head.
I think it's pretty clever!

or was it 14 hours?

I love it when Prince opens the the cereal box pour it in the bowl and chew it toward the end of the line

I have 2...

The Ballad Of Dorthy Parker:
I took another bubble bath, with my pants on.

If I was ur Girlfriend:

If I was ur girlfriend, would let me dress you, I mean help you pick out clothes before we go out, not that your helpless, but sometimes that's what being's in love about.

If that ain't deep, then I don't know deep is.

THE BEST LINE in a """ SONG is

the one he left out that U surely would fall off your chair hearing it becuz U know that man I dont know but that man just has a WIDE sense of humor man if he put dat humor on a wrecko...man it would sell like HOTCAKES in a HOTCAKE SHOP on a frickN monday morn that everybody has off of work yes on that day and I aint gonna grammatize I tell ya...just imagine what he dont say but is recorded so many things HILARIOUS man now thats a wrecko don't ya know?...oh are U willing 2 do the work 2? thank U...

smlaughjunesmiles

A WHOLE wrecko of total HUMOR...THE SIDE U never knew xhisted TIL NOW...well was allways but could B NOW in your ears...

"There's no tellin' how far I'd go... 'cause when it comes to you, I know; I'm InSaTiAbLe and I just can't stop- evenifIwasn'tthirstyIwoulddrinkeverydrop..."

The WAY he sings it... please listen again and hear it with me. Beautiful.

*Sacred is a prayer that asks for nothing*

Sister killed her baby cause she couldn't afford to feed it and wer'e sending people to the moon

sometimes I trip on how happy we could be (only really works in the song, not on paper

Mind if I turn on...the radio (cracks my wife up every time)

Style is not fighting style when you can't find the funk

I could go on and on some of theese lines get me hitting rewind and listning to just the line over and over

I love this thread! Prince's poetry is under-recognized.

Many of my favs have already been mentioned, but one of my most-often-stolen-for-my-own-use Prince phrases is "it's a freezer burn compared to cool".

Doves,
Mel!ssa

when i ask you, are you hungry?... you said you already ate!

I love so many more, but this one sticks to my head.

You said something. It took my mind out like a B-flat with an E in the bass.
And...
My mind is jackin' all over the place

When they tell me to walk a straight line, I put on crooked shoes

So are you just gonna sit there and watch?!
