I didn't answer this the the other day because...I wouldn't call any of Prince's lyrics cringeworthy, yet I think U might mean sexually shocking or forward.

Prince has definitely said some things that only a man would say, I think...but I have always shook my head with a smile over his (?) (rude) may be the word I'm looking 4.

~Introduce the carpet to something other than Ur knees.(This line is very funny)

I guess the lyric that catches me off guard is..."He trips her and grinds her, right there on the floor." from "Pheromone." Which is one of Prince's sexiest songs. I do respect the talent that Prince has to be a turn-on in music. He's damn good at it. cool



Haha, no I didn't mean that, I love his sexual lyrics more than anything and they certainly don't make me cringe; I just meant lyrics that don't quite work, some of these for me are 'Look up in the air, it's your guitar!' and '[You know how much I love you], More than I love my hair!' stuff like that razz



Alright...I don't like...

"I'll feed ya, then I'll say see ya...Lolita your sweetah but U'll never make a cheetah outta me."

That is way too Bill Clintonish to me. cool

Haha, I always just think 'Yeah right Prince, who you trying to convince?' when I listen to that song
'Sex is not all I think about, it's just all I think about... you.'

That song has always felt wrong to me (and the crazy fool played it on Anerican Idol). Whichever way you slice it he's singing about flirting with jailbait and getting her hot for it

I believe that album is a bait for a bizarre cult called Jehovahs Witnesses. And whats with the oversized lips on the drummer and the guitarist. Looks like something Mogdilani did stoned on crack

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of somewhat daft lyrics, though I agree that most of them work in a bizarre/clever way.

The album version of Come always makes me uncomfortable. But without a doubt this line from Right The Wrong, just really bothers me (and there's a lot to choose from in that song, even though I really dig it)

Did you hear the one about the boy just 17
Three years hard time for stealing ice cream

Sure it may be a hyperbolic metaphor, or some sort of satiric commentary on the justice system. But seriously, what the hell?! Does nothing else rhyme with 17? How about change his age to accomodate a better rhyme...it just seems lazy.

The opening lyrics to "Chocolate Box". I like the song overall, but the opening is so cliche and sound like something some generic lame-o rapper would do. I don't know, good song, poor opening.


All the lyrics to There will never be another like me, Chocolate box, Dance for me and Valentina. Most of MPLS sound he used lyrics for dummies lol Not his most creative moments. Lets not forget his rap on my name is Prince.

Some fine examples of distaste biggrin

"Dont look know there's a river of blood, you must have been a virgin, what am I guilty off?' (DUUH.. keep that shit to yourself)

"Accurate knowledge of the christ and the father will bring the everlasting now" (The majority of people on this world dont use the tale of 'the christ and the father' in their spiritual experience, and to the minority who does, you tell they to be need be ACCURATE also? accurate who, where, what? ...plain dogmatic shit it is).

"But you can call me Mr. Goodnight" / "I have got a box of chocolates for every lady who will come my way" (How old are you for godsake: 11? Or are you some 50 yo bloke presenting yourself as some 11 yo? even worse).

"Everybody stop fighting, everybody make love" (Oh..really?...)

"Your ass is like a fine cut diamond"
Ok I know he likes ass, but diamonds, what type of bizarre metaphor is that.

Others include: 'I can't have a hug, unless I have a kiss' in Insatiable.

'I took another bubble bath, with my pants on' in the Ballad of Dorothy Parker for some reason makes me want to


Insatiable & Ballad Of Dorothy Parker....?

that's some classic Prince tracks, nothing wrong with those lyrics imo.


no no no!

It has to be "So you're havin' a party, goodie for you". I won't listen to the song for that lyric alone! Other than Life 'o' the party , Valentina and the start of chocolate box are awful (as previously discussed!).
