Our Destiny Lyrics

Because the first ave. link was closed when I posted this there, i repost it here. These are the best i can come up with lyric-wise for this gem:

Our Destiny

Once U came 2 town My life turned all around
Ten quarters deep ______________ there's no one to play

Our love, it's written in the sky above
Our destiny is to fall in love
Don't fight it cause its stronger than us
Our destiny is to fall in love
L-O-V-E

When I saw you walk, I had to talk to you.
Didn't know what to say, I wanted your love anyway

Our love, it's written in the sky above
Our destiny is to fall in love
Don't fight it cause its stronger than us
Our destiny is to fall in love
L-O-V-E

Look, I'm not sayin' get married or nothin', I ain't ready to settle down, baby...
I don't wanna have no kids...
All I'm tryin' to say to you is that, uh...
You gotta be the finest specimen of woman I have ever seen!

Our destiny is to fall in love
L-O-V-E
L-O-V-E
L-O-V-E

Oh, so can I kiss?...Not just yet.
Me, I would never treat me like this.
Now our pleasure’s in bloom, let's find a room
Do you want me baby? (I want you, I want you)
I want you too, baby (I want you, I want you)

Walking alone in the dark, I see nothing u see
I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea
I wish u’d hold my hand; then everything could b
There’s nothing strange, we’re not deranged
We only want everyday 2 b a Cosmic Day

Thanks this is great; I just played it and these lyrics seem to fit pretty well. I don't think it's possible to get much closer. highfive

What song are you guys talking about?

I dig the lyrics.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Very true, that 2nd line works now. Interesting lyrics for this part of the suite (assuming this song and roadhouse garden are actually one whole song as is speculated).

regardless, this set of revised lyrics works for me and it is what I will go by until proven otherwise.

Thank you erik319, for your help on the one area I could not make heads or tails out of.

BY GEORGE, I THINK WE NAILED IT!!!

These are the lyrics to a song known as "Our Destiny". It remains officially unreleased and is available in soundboard quality on a bootleg. Info on this thread: http://prince.org/msg/7/358449

Forever, folks could not figure out what he was saying due to poor quality. Now, with the soundboard, you get crazy nuances and clarity on this track. Why he never officially released it and the accompanying Roadhouse Garden is beyond my comprehension.

You could start a thread and ask him to release it on your birthday........

My take. Kudos for hearing the "George Washington" line. I would've NEVER got that.
