When I Lay My Hands on You

I really love this song, and I think I know most of the lyrics, but there are a few I can't figure out sad
Can anyone post the lyrics to this song?

The message you're about to hear is not meant for transmission
Should only be accessed in the privacy of your mind
Words are intense so my dear if you dare to listen
Take off your clothes
And Meet me between the lines

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane
I'll pull your hair, you'll feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game
You'll feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you

The touch you're about to feel is the one you've been wishin' for
It's been here like an echo inside your space and time
It's about to get freaky cause the places that I'll be kissin'
Are the places that no other man could ever find
Oh wind up ready for...

The touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane
I'll pull your hair, you'll feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game (God forbid)
You'll feel ashamed and ordained (God forbid)
When I lay my hands on you

Nobody knows
Like God knows
Where the deepest part of your river flows
Snap Snap
Undo these nylon hose
Around your thigh my finger goes slowly
Like a cat tip-toes
Until I reach the cat's nose
I will touch thee in the softest manner
Like Europa in the hands of Santana

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane
I'll pull your hair, you'll feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game
You'll feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you
When I lay my hands on you

Robot is a guitar-type, that Santana plays

NO. Santana wrote a song called "Europa".

I should add that "When I Lay My Hands On U" is one of my fav Prince songs EVER. Every time I hear it, I'm blown away by how brilliant and powerfully dynamic this song is.

It is a real tragedy that this song didn't appear on any release.

I always thought the lyrics were

"Nobody knows, like I knows
Where the deepest part of your river flows" rather than God.

and

"until I reach the capstone" rather than cat's nose.
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

It's off of "The Chocolate Invasion". The songs came out indivdually on NPGMC in 2001 but it was released as an album, again through NPGMC, in 2004.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Oh and this song kicks MAJOR ass! I'm with Giovanni777, this should have had a proper release on a major-label CD.

so did I - but by listening to it now, it's more like "god" than "I"

I'm still waiting for Prince to finish the video. Only about one minute of the video was posted on the old NPGMC.com.

I love the shot of him raising up through the water in the fog, and the distorted visuals behind him.

Really dig this song. The guitar solo sound reminds me of Carlos Santana.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

I think that was intentional on Prince's part, as he namechecks Santana in the song.

my goodness people.... First of all it is "like I know" and not "like God knows" second of all it's definitely Europa and not Robot in the hands of Santana, Europa is a classic Santana song where he plays very sensually....And most importantly..... it's Capstone (i.e. clitoris) not Cat's nose, my goodness.
