Your Top10-15 Best Lyrics

We've had a lot of top10 best songs, but always focusing on the music. But, what about the lyrics? What about the lyrics that perfectly reflect his views (often controversial) about love, hate, society, etc? What about the lyrics that made you think: "wow, eek this is sensible and I completely agree"

chronogical order

1.Uptown: "She's just a victim of society and all its games" . Nuff said...

2.Controversy: I don't think he believes in this message anymore, but the line "I cannot understand human curiosity" is still valid...and I agree...

3.Little Red Corvette : a warning against rushed one night stands, specially in the AIDS era

4.All the Critics Love U in NY: great attack against the hipsters and bullshit critics...

5.The Beautiful Ones: pure painful insecurity, Prince is human after all, lol

6.Pop Life: was this a commentary of 80s society?

7.Kiss: "women not girls rule my world" biggrin Was R.Kelly paying attention?

8.SOTT: the What's Goin' On of the 80s?? worship

9.I Wish U Heaven: peace rainbo

10.Strollin' : many people dismiss this song as "uneven elevator music" but the lyrics reflect that Prince, after all, is a sane, focused, and happy (probably) individual. And it's shows why he's still alive, while others are dead; yeah, I'm talking about Rikky and MJ...rolleyes) "It's so great to be alive, oh yeah"

11.eye Hate You. Love is "complicated", lol. These lyrics helped me a lot back in the day...

12. Black Sweat. Perhaps the best lyrics about "how great he is", lol. The intensity of the music matches the machismo-bravado of the lyrics. Take no prisoners here. You laughed at him? You think he's done, old, weak, still effeminate? Prince will kick your ass. Prince will show you that your dancing skills suck, lol

Wow, probably a lot, but here are some of my fav lyrics that comes to my mind now (some for their meaning, some cause they just caught my attention):

Free: Don't cry unless you're happy, don't smile unless you're blue, never let that lonely monster take control of U

Shhh: I'd rather do u after school like some homeworks (...) I'd rather wait til everyone's fast asleep and do it in the kitchen on the table top...

TMBGITW: How can I get through days when I can't get through hours

I Can't Make You Love Me: I don't wanna be the first, I wanna be the last

The Holy River: People say they love you when they wanna help, but how can they when you can't help yourself, the more they say they love you, the more you just want to die

Saviour: I can see we're like 2 petals from the same flower baby, 2 branches from the same tree, when I look in your eyes, I can see a paradise, you're my saviour, you'r all I ever need...

Come on: I'm better off sleepin' with my guitar, if U ain't gonna sing, strapped to the body, makin' love 2 the strings...

The One: If U're looking 4 a man who will make you fell like time has just begun, a man that'll make you feel like u're the only thing that ever mattered

Don't Play Me: Don't play me I already do in my car

Gett Off: But there's a rumor going all aroung that you ain't been getting served...

Call My Name: I just can't stop writting songs about U, I love U so much (...) If I don't see you real soon babygirl I might go insane, I know it's only been 3 hours but I love it when you call my name.

Black Sweat: I don't want 2 take my clothes off, but I do

Take Me With U: It's in your eyes, what can I say, they turn me on

The Beautiful Ones: Do you want him, or do you want me, cause I want U!

I Love You But I Don't Trust You Anymore: The whole song is a masterpiece

Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''
If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either.

These make me teary-eyed:


Sometimes It Snows In April

"Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain... / He used 2 say so strong unafraid 2 die / Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized" cry

The Grand Progression

"Darling it seems I have found the grand progression / Whenever I'm in your arms / From July until June, every sun and every moon / Melting inside of your charms"

These lyrics always stand out to me:

I Wish U Heaven

"Doubts of our conviction / Follow where we go / And when the world's compassion / Ceases, still I know..."

Don't Play Me

"I'm not the ganda U prop in my way / Don't play me / Cuz I've been 2 the mountain top and it ain't what U say..."

I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore

"I've always given U the best in life / Even in the wrong, it was right..."

Space

"I painted your face upon my ceiling / I stare at it all the time..."

And God Created Woman

This entire song is gorgeous.

Letitgo

"All my life I've kept my feelings deep inside / Never was a reason 2 let somebody know..."

I definitely relate to some of those lyrics.

Uptown

"Now where I come from / We don't let society tell us how it's supposed 2 be / Our clothes, our hair, we don't care / It's all about being there..." --- This is a mantra.

The Beautiful Ones

"Paint a perfect picture / Bring 2 life a vision in one's mind / The beautiful ones always smash the picture / Always, every time" ---this song gives me chills.

How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand.

I rarely listen to "Free" but that first verse is awesome.

"Come On" has such playful lyrics. lol "I got the butter 4 ya muffin, just need the keys 2 the room." love it.

How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand.

I've put them in chronological order and selected some sentences I particularly like, though I'm fond of the whole lyrics of these tunes.

1. Raspberry Beret. "She wore a raspberry beret (...) and if it was worm she wouldn't wear much more"

2. Paisley Park. "Paisley Park is in your heart..."

3. Sometimes It Snows In April. "I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there..."

4. All My Dreams. "Don't ever lose your dreams!"

5. Sign O' The Times. "Sign o' the times mess with your mind, hurry before it's too late"

6. The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker. "I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine. Dorothy was fast"

7. Bob George. "This is your conscience, motherfucker"

8. Don't Talk 2 Strangers. "Things don't always turn out right, that's just the way it goes. Before I leave you there's just a few things you should know..."

9. The Holy River. "So here we go again, the self analysis. Have another glass of Port and uh... forget this. The band's playn' at the club 2night and they're bound 2 groove"

10. Lion Of Judah. "Like the lion of Judah, I'll strike my enemies down. As my God is living, surely no trumpet will sound"

The Holy River - my all time favorite prince track. When his voice cracks at "asked her to marry me and she said yes and we cried" I break down. lol

Wasted Kisses - "overdue, thats how i describe the hour, the minute the moment that i first laid eyes on you"

The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker - "she didnt see the movie cuz she hadn't read the book first" GENIUS!

When You Were Mine - " i never cared, I was never the kind to make a fuss, when he was there sleepin in between the two of us"

Love Like Jazz - "The notes you play should b a Reaction 2 mine Nothing planned or contrived Then both of us will arrive"

Dont Play Me - The whole song
And God Created Woman - "And if I never see u againIt's alright 4 I am guilty of no sin
They can have u, I'll have your love in the end"

TMGITW - "cuz after you all one can do is die"

EyeJester7

(In NO particular order)

1) Love 2 The 9's - "Baby, take a real good look at my face; cause honey; tonight just might be the last time..MAYBE you should have played an ace; instead you played a queen, you be better off cheating than trying to read my mind...(NOW CAN YOU SAY GENIUS? LoL..I just love how he cleverly puts that together..Makes so much sense..You got to know about playing cards to understand this one OR NOT...lol)

2) I Wish U Heaven - If I see 11, U can say it's 7, still I wish u Heaven..I wish U love, I wish U heaven, I wish U Heaven..( Just my theory on things in general, it's as respectful as love can get..smile

3) Pop Life - "What's the matter with your life, is the poverty bringing you down? Is the mailman jerking you around? Did he put your million dollar check in somebody Else's box, tell me? What's the matter with your world? Was it a boy when you wanted a girl?" (When I first heard this; [Which ironically is the first FULL song I heard from Prince] it's like he wrote it to me..I felt like; the mail man was putting my check in the wrong box..but as the lyrics fell into "But life it ain't real funky, unless its got that pop..dig it" I was like yeahhh! I dig it..your right Prince..haha)

4) The Beautiful Ones- "You paint a perfect picture...bring to life a vision in one's mind. The beautiful ones, Always smashes the picture, always every time.." (So true for me, the beautiful ones to always seem to go to "Him" and not ME, It's just one of those lyrics that spoke to me when I was after the wrong "one" Now..I have the beautiful one! smile

5) Graffiti Bridge - "Every body's looking for graffiti bridge, something to believe in, a reason to believe that there is a heaven above, everybody's looking for graffiti bridge...everybody's looking for LOVE." (I feel this true, regardless of what you believe, you are looking for something to trust in..something to love..I love the connection to graffiti and bridges; it's unusually artistic.

6) Good Love - "4th Of July, In every stroke, a symphony of light and sound, I want to die, from the smoke, fire burns out; when you're around." (I take this a clever sexual metaphor, and whether I have a dirty mind or not...when the stroke brings the fireworks that is some good love! And actually doing it right, makes it burn out, when she is around..I don't know it's hard to explain this one, but I think it's just cleaver to say...lol)

7) Power Fantastic - One of my ultimate favorite songs...Every line of this song is genius! Especially the beginning; "Late at night when the world is sleeping; u are frightened cause the power's creeping; In Your Room, there is something you're afraid of; Life & doom is what this feeling is made of...Power Fantastic- Is in your life at last
You're a little apprehensive..What it is, is what U want & need..: (This can be related to a lot things..and exactly speaks of what my life is singing now, it's just an incredible power that is fantastic, I am apprehensive sometimes but it's what I want and need..)

8) Glam Slam - "This thing we got is alive, it seems to transcend the physical, 1 touch & I'm satisfied, must be a dream it's so magical" (Just perfect lyrics, the love I have transcends the physical emotions..it's just GLAM SLAM!)

9) Strange Relationship - Every line of this song is perfectly placed. "I guess you knew me well, I don't like winter, but you seem 2 get a kick out of me doing me cold..Baby I just can't stand 2 see u happy more then happy I hate 2 see u sad" (Sometimes I find myself within this strange relationship..I use to hate to see her sad and happy..it was weird..But just perfectly placed at the time..lol)

10) The Ballad Of Dorthy Parker - "My pants were wet, they came off; But she didn't see the movie cause she hadn't read the book first...Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse" (WOW..that can only come out of A deep thinkers mind..she did not see the movie because she did not read the book first...I love it because it just makes a lot sense..Haha)

11) 3rd Eye - "Using a special code, he accessed his mind, in search of the reason why, in passion and fashion he began traveling time, 3rd Eye...3rd eye, 3rd eye.." ( I just love that..the 3rd eye can be so many things, I love the code and mind play..)

12) And God Created Woman - EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG..IS PERFECT. The lyrics are unique and I love how he used the creation of man and woman in a love story. "In my darkest hour I find..Many serpents who have lied (lied)...Given half the chance still I'd run 2 your side..(run 2 your side)..Love of my love (love of my love)..And God created woman (woman)...And if I never see u again...It's alright 4 I am guilty of no sin..They can have u, I'll have your love in the end...Soul of my soul (soul of my soul)
And God created woman! ( Like come on..lyrics like that..I mean the soul and brilliance of these lyrics are just AHHH..ALL I can say is WOW..REALLY? LOL

13) Silicon - This isn't one of his most known songs (From the Slaughter House Album) , but if you get a chance to listen to it; do so..Prince's rap or whatever you want to call is dope..lol.."One day U'll get outside the doo-rag
When U really want 2 contemplate this, jacked up (Jacked up)Paranormal situation that your people got into
Can I hip U?
Long ago who considered the outcome?
Now I'm thinking that a cat like U would be troublesome
And sock U in the mind tangling curriculum
Guaranteed 2 leave U in a state of delirium
While all along teaching they kids in the valley 2 become unlike U:
broke and dumb" (This is just a nice way of slamming someone in poetry..lol)

14) Mellow - "Learn the rhythm and play, the only note u want me 2, I am good learner, and once eye understand, I'll stand under u, and let u show u, how u want your man to be..If u desire I'll shed my attire, anything 2 get u wet...Shower my flower... So much to do, so little time..So choose wisely and you can find thee
In the mellow of my mind
Can I sing to you while you bring yourself to joy?
I'll go slow at first, while you quench you're thirst
Wet circles round the toy
While you bring yourself to joy " ( Sensually and precisely why I dig this song...reading the lyrics just jumps at me!..Haha)

15) Wonderfull Ass - " U do not understand my quirky ways
My crazy logic leaves U in a daze
U think my neurosis is just a phase
Girl, U've got a wonderful ass...U think that all my friends are my bedmates
True love before sex U just can't relate
My sensibilities U aggravate " ( I just love how he and the revolution say this..I can identify with this...TRUE LOVE BEFORE SEX U Just can't relate..lol

I only gave 15, because that is the ones in my mind..I can go on and on..Prince is PRINCE! Haha..SO many songs he has created in perfected lyrical quality for me! smile

AND THERE YOU GO! Haha

It's Button Therapy, Baby!

My list is longer than this, but here's the abbreviated version:

There is Lonely- and there is lonely, and then there's how I feel right now

Comeback- spirits come and spirits go, some stick around for the aftershow/ don't have to say I miss you cuz I think you already know

I Love U, But I Don't Trust You Anymore- the whole song

When Doves Cry- how can you just leave me standing alone in a world so cold? maybe i'm just too demanding

Sometimes It Snows In April- He used to stay so strong, so unafraid to die. Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized

Wasted Kisses- why'd I waste my kisses on you?

Anne Stesia- have you ever been so lonely that you felt you were the only one in this world?

Love 2 the 9's- this is the only kind of love that I've been dreaming of

How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore- the whole song

2Gether- you look up in the sky for an answer and it starts to pour. what are we if we're not together?

Gold- everybody wants to sell what's already been sold. everybody wants to tell what's already been told.

The Love We Make- desperate is the day that is tomorrow

America- I can't explain this one at all. I just love this song.

time flies.

Lyrics from 1999 and Controversy maybe haven't got too much sense, but I just like them. Rest of them are very deep for me.

(not in order)

1999 - If U didn't come 2 party/Don't bother knockin' on my door/I got a lion in my pocket/And baby he's ready 2 roar

Controversy - People call me rude/I wish we all were nude/I wish there was no black and white/ I wish there were no rules

Uptown - She's just a victim of society and all its games

Resolution - The main problem with people/Is they never do what they say/1 minute they want peace/Then do everything 2 make it go away

Sign'O'The Times - Its silly, no?/When a rocket ship explodes/And everybody still wants 2 fly

If I Was Your Girlfriend - If I was your one and only friend/Would u run 2 me if somebody hurt u/Even if that somebody was me?

I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man - It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes/He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die

The Cross - We all have our problems/Some BIG, some are small/Soon all of our problems/Will be taken by the cross

Diamonds And Pearls - Am I the weaker man/Because I understand/That love must be the master plan

Money Don't Matter 2 Night - Anything is better than the picture of the child/In a cloud of gas/And u think u got it bad

America - Communism is just a word/But if the government turn over/It'll be the only word that's heard

Purple Rain - I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover/I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend/Baby, I could never steal u from another/It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end

4 The Tears In Your Eyes - The meek shall inherit the earth

Gold - Everybody wants 2 tell what's already been told

Sometimes It Snows In April - I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there/I know that he has found another friend/(...)Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again
