How about "Laydown"? Isn't it said "Lay it down" everywhere in the song?

Something in the Water (Does not Compute):

Chorus: ust be something in the water they drink...

Verse: Does not compute, baby, something don't compute

But in the sense that the title is not said all at once (i.e. each word in exact order), most definitely.

Not sure if the OP is being that specific or not though.

Buuut, since we're diggin'

Bob George (was never said in entirety, just Bob and Mr. George)

Really? I thought it was kinda muttered/mixed in with the first note when the "chorus" started?

Bullshit. He doesn't say "heart" either, but yet on the One Nite Alone...Live set, the song "Condition of the Heart" is listed as "Condition of the heart " So which is it?

He doesn't say "Dollar sign" on the MPLsound or Lotus song either, but we know it's "money".

You're stretchin'. no no no!

Nah, that can't count. If we're discounting Princebonics and his messed up way of spelling/writing words, then we'd have to list practically his entire catalog here.

Not really sure if I heard that but it may have been in the "song" but not in the "lyrics"...based on the OP.

Whenever we're discussing lyrics and titles in Prince's catalog. brick

Just saying that he takes a lot of liberties with the way he writes down the words/titles. I mean, technically he doesn't say the words "Eye No" in "Eye No"--he says "I know." But if we open the game up to that kind of thought, well, then a whole lotta songs are gonna be in here.

I suppose in the case of symbols like heart since it can be taken as heart or love it's ambiguity can be left open for debate. Eye still sounds like I, 2 like to/two/too, U like you. Symbols leave room for interpretation.

He does say "Lubricated Lady", just not "The".

I'm sure there's a slew of examples also on the "Cream" EP.

Ahh, damn, you're right. He says "lubricated lady" once in the song. So, that guess is close enough to wrong to throw it out.
