~When Prince talks in the song~

Prince inserts dialogue here and there that always enhances the emotion of the song, which isn't usually mentioned in the lyric books.

What are your favorite things that Prince says? What song is it from?

It takes time to remember, it can only give us a reason to listen again.

"Come on baby, Let's get this on," from "One Kiss at a Time.
"Hey girl, I betcha didn't know I had both eyes on U, It's true, and U know what, I've seen all those other guys 2, and very frankly, I don't give a damn." From the opening of, "La La La Means I Love U."

I'll find some other linez later...

I think it's funny when Prince says..."Tell U what I'm bout' 2 do boye." in "Black Sweat."

Sorry to burst your bubble but that is not what the words are.

1 2 3
Naw, little cutie, I ain't drinkin'
But scope this, I was just thinkin'
U + me, what a ride
If U was thinkin' the same, we could continue outside
Lay your pretty body against a parkin' meter
Strip your dress down like I was strippin' a Peter Paul's Almond Joy
Lemme show U, baby, I'm a talented boy

In his ballads, I think it all started with the Do me, Baby then The Beautiful Ones.

~Somebody's Somebody

*Someone 2 hold me in that hour midnight
Someone 2 console me when things ain't goin' 2 right
Someone 2 bring me dinner sometime, yeah
Somebody can call all mine*

Dreamin' About U

I was just about to add Dreamin About U. I love the way the spoken word flows with the music. The part where he sullenly admits "Yeah, when I'm alone, I dream about you, I dream about you..." he sounds so cute.

My fave as always is on batdance, when he says, "hey jackie, let me stick the 7inch in the computer", i love the cheeky way he says it

I guess I misunderstand those words then..What are the words in that part of "Black Sweat?"

This is in the lyric book from "Undisputed."

This song is "Gett Off". I love it. I'm not sure about Black Sweat though. I've not heard it as many times as Gett Off.

OK Tame. I've got it for Black Sweat. Those words are in here. Dang, so similar, too.

I don't wanna break your pride (Pride)
But I got 2 (Got 2 hurt 'em, gon' hurt 'em y'all)
U bet' take your woman and hide her (Hide)
Cuz I'm about 2... (Tell 'em what U're 'bout 2 do, boy)
Got 2, got 2 show U what's really good (show U what's really good)
Break U off like U knew I would (Like U knew I would)
I got a brand new dance (I got a brand new dance)
And it's called the... uh!

I was gonna post the softly spoken bits in 'How come you don't call me anymore', but this thread got reallllly silly...

love the poetry in Dreamin'Bout U.
"If the wind blew every petal from your precious red rose, Would you be afraid of what u'd find inside?"

I like in his version of "Betcha by golly wow" when he says:

Baby, sometime
A man can't find words to express all the things he feels inside
But every just so often
The words of another who's truly in love seem to work out fine

2 say I love U (I love U)
2 say I'm thinking of U!

Jackie was charmed I'm sure. That reminds me of Prince singing.."Maybe the cartridge U was playin' don't fit in ur video game...I love when Prince says funny stuff like that.

Thanx...I just like that tough talk.

kimmy21 said:

Hi kimmy21...nice 2 meet u...yes, precious words.

The opening of "Pheromone."

Come...
Lay down beneath my shadow
Lay down beneath my shadow with a great delight
And Ur (fruit?) will be sweet 2 me
My left hand under your head
While my right embraces time
Therein my virgin of swan.

that's Gett Off

I love all the poems that are spoken on the Come album. When I listen to it with my headphones, it sounds like he is whispering in my ear.

EmeraldSkies said:

Me 2. The first time I listened to the album was late at night. I couldn't sleep so I felt around for my ipod and listend. The whole album but especially the poetry was just so...intoxicating.

and sexy as hell!

I also like the talking at the end of Girl (extended version).

Feel my hands,there all sweaty
I don't know,I guess you frighten me
Cause I never wanted anyone like this before
To feel this way,it's like I don't know,It's like a sin
Cause sometimes I feel bad,sometimes I want you so much I can..
God,all I have to do is think about you,and I can have an orgasm
That sounds funny doesn't it..ha ha ha
Marry me...Yeah that's right..Marry Me..

U've been stuck on Emmancipation too huh? LOL!
