Oh my God here U are
Prettiest thing in life I've ever seen
Close my eyes what's it like,
What's it like inside your tamborine?

Oh my God, there I go
Falling in love with the face in a magazine (uh oh, not again)
All alone by myself
Me and I play my tamborine

Tamborine
Tamborine
Tamborine
Tamborine
Long days, lonely nights
Tamborine
Long days, lonely nights
Tamborine

I don't care 4 1 night stands
With trolley cars
That juggle 17
I just want 2 settle down and
Play around
My baby's tamborine

Tamborine what are U
Why are U the star of
All my dreams
(Star of all my dreams, are U a good tamborine)
Are U good, are U bad
Are U just unnecessary means

Tamborine
Tamborine
Tamborine
Trolley cars

Long days, lonely nights
2 bad we're not allowed 2 scream (yeah, yeah, too bad)
Guess that I'll stay at home
All alone and play my tamborine (aww)

Tamborine
Tamborine
Tamborine
Tamborine
The tamborine
if u cant tell me if Prince or Rosie did the opening scream for Gett Off, then u are not purple !!!

You got yourself a dirty mind. The song is about Prince honing his skills on a musical instrument. Nothing more. What else could the song be about?

Actually, the correct lyrics are...


Oh my God here u are
Prettiest thing in life I've ever seen
Close my eyes what's it like,
What's it like inside your tamborine?

Oh my God, there I go
Falling in love with a face in a magazine (uh oh, not again)
All alone by myself
Me and I play my tamborine

Troubling
Troubling
Troubling
Troubling

Long days, lonely nights
Troubling
Long days, lonely nights
Troubling

I don't care 4 1 night stands
With trolley cars
That juggle 17
I just want 2 settle down and
Play around
My baby's tamborine

Tamborine what are u
Why are u the star of
All my dreams
(Star of all my dreams, are u a good tamborine?)
Are u good, are u bad
Are u just unnecessary means

Troubling
Tamborine
Tamborine
Trolley cars

Long days, lonely nights
2 bad we're not allowed 2 scream (yeah, yeah, 2 bad)
Guess that I'll stay at home
All alone and play my tamborine (aww)

Tamborine
Tamborine
Tamborine
Tamborine
The tamborine

Well it means genitals. His own and others.

The song is about Prince masturbating, duh. Was there ever any question?

That's interesting, it would make more sense as "Troubling". I always heard trampoline, but I thought it was weird he was singing about a tambourine and a trampoline lol

I think it's "a necessary means" as opposed to "unnecessary means"

Tambourine is a fucking killer... I said KILLER song. The first time I put the needle in the groove and this song came on, I was floored.

The lyrics puzzled me at first, but I figured he was talking about poon again.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
