bang bang bang go the gun

prince

Love sign
Love sign
Love sign

Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
If U're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and 4 ever more
If U'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun

In a chariot of red and gold
The cool, fuzzy voice said "Come save your soul"
Before the fear of rejection reared its head
He stood before the masses and calmly said

If U're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and 4 ever more
If U'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun

In the day of where and why we all belong
Don't nobody wanna hear a silly love song
And if they did then we would sing it on the news
While U're aiming your gun at me and I'm aiming back at U

CHORUS

Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun

If U only had one year left 2 live
What good is the time U spend if U got no love 2 give?
Let's all get up off the front (get up off the front)
and find a cause 2 back
Then we could teach the babies replications of the act

If U're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and 4ever more (2 signs of the times)
If U'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun
(Time is passing, passing is time)

Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun

Show us the love sign, we want the love sign
Show us the love sign

Love sign
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
We want the love sign
Love sign

Great Song
Great Video (directed by Ice Cube)

A little too much make up on P but it's all good. I remember some o my boys were doggin' me because P and Nona had the same hair style. At some parts of the video you couldn't tell who was who.

I liked the part where P's image showed up in the car sitting next to her. The only flaw was she had her right arm on the door which mad it look backwards....

cheese? Never thought about it being cheese, I thought it was pretty awesome. Love the video, love the lyrics, love the melody. And didn't this song come out in around 1995? I remember hearing this one on the radio when I was in elementary school

LoveSign is a great video and song! My fav off of 1.800NEW.FUNK

Always thought it was cool how Ice Cube said a bad boy of today was directing the video for a rude boy or something like that to show their similarities.

I still show the LoveSign when I go to concerts!!!!!

"throw up the LoveSign...."

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.
