L heart ve the song!! nod kiss

1 2 1 2 3

(cough..cough~cough..cough.)
Yeah

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was mr. mcgee
He told me several times that he didnt like my kind
cause I was a bit 2 leisurely

Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing
But different than the day before
Thats when I saw her ooh I saw her
She walked in through the out door out door

She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind u find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldnt wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

Built like she was
She had the nerve 2 ask me
If I planned 2 do her any harm

So look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man johnsons farm

I said now overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed

She wasnt 2 bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks

She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind u find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldnt wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who u are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
U feel like a movie star

Listen
They say the first time aint the greatest
But I tell ya
If I had the chance 2 do it all again

I wouldnt change a stroke
cause baby Im the most
With a girl as fine as she was then

raspberry beret
The kind u (find the kind u find)
The kind u find (in a second hand store)
Oh no no
(raspberry beret)
(and if it was warm)
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (she wouldnt wear much more)
Yeah (raspberry beret)

I think i... I think i... I think I love her

(raspberry beret)
No no no
No no no (the kind u find)
(in a second hand store)
(raspberry beret)
Tell me
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (and if it was warm she)
(wouldnt wear much more)
(raspberry beret)
I think I love.....her.

did i mention i LOOOOOVE this song giggle

whats not to love, the little cough mushy the cloudsuit in the vid. its such a sweet little song, it never fails to bring a smile to my face when i hear it.

PR got me hooked on P, so my first listen of ATWIAD was hmm- RB was the 1st song to grow on me from it - and i eventually grew to love the whole cd.

and now that ive figured out my MP3 player on my cell phone, RB is my ringtone music woot!

oh, and 4 those who didnt know- PRB = prince's raspberry beret, a name i started using when i was 15 and rang up radio station "hit line" request shows.
it was a no brainer to use it when i joined the org lol

loves me Raspberry Beret woot! yay! music mushy

Honestly...I have four cats.

Butler doesn't have a last name. He's nineteen.
Princess Isis Leisurly, her sister, Lady Kira Leisurly, and their baby brother from the following litter of the same parents, Mr. Prince Leisurly. The girls will be 4 in June, the 9th, and Prince will be 4 in November...He was born on Thanksgiving...so I let his birthday move around too. cool

I love this song. I themed my myspace page after it. I remember when I embarrassed my brother in front of a girl he likes by singing along to it in a sandwich place when it came on the radio.

I used to own a raspberry beret which matched a raspberry sweater dress (Ann Taylor) and I wore raspberry mid-thigh sox with it. Capped it off with a brown belt that had a cowboy-type buckle. Can't remember what shoes, but believe it or not the Fit was on hit!

Just thought I'd share.
