My favorite lyrics are "Sometimes It Snows In April" ... but if you're talking about just one line... I've got nothing.

Several come to mind

"If I came back as a woman, I would want a body like urs"

"Would u run 2 me if somebody hurt u?, even if that somebody was me?, Sometimes I trip on how happy we could b"

"Can I pick out ur clothes b4 we go out, not that ur helpless, but sometimes thats what being is love is about" That whole song is full of disturbingly brilliant lyrix.

"I'd rather do u after school like some homework, am I getting u hot"

"So what are you going to do, you're just going to sit there and watch, well alright then"

"Marsha, I am not saying this 2 b nasty, but I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of ur mouth, can u relate"

"Technicolour Junkie in a funky square"

"Sex is not all I think about, its just all I think about ... u"

(I was listening to Shh! whilst typing this"

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I always loved the lyrics to Forever in My Life. I always thought the power of that song is in its simplicity.

I also love the lyrics of Anotherloverholenyohead.

Love The Ballad of Dorothy Parker. That's just songwriting at its finest right there.

^ When Eye Lay My Hands On U is almost as good.

From Question of U: "Must I become naked? No image at all? Shall I remain upright? Or get down and crawl?"

From Joy in Repetition (though I think all the lyrics are awesome): "No one seemed to care, an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces."

From original Extralovable: "Baby you got somethin' that would make a many hippie mighty proud. I got to say it loud. You got a dozaen little sexy tricks that a dozen cities in this U.S. won't even allow."

From Electric Chair: "If a man is considered guilty for what goes on in his mind, then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes."

I know there's MANY more but off the top of my head - 'little sister make minimum wage , living in a one room jungle monkey cage , cant get over , she's almost dead , she may not be in the black but she's happy she aint in the red' -america. 'Some things are better left unsaid & some people are better left untrusted' - old friends 4 sale. '6 feet tall skinny legs an all' & 'i might be small but so is dynamite' - databank. 'Did we water the plants today? I forgot to look up at the moon because I was to busy yeah I was to busy lookin at u baby' - reflection. 'Like a strawberry chocolate fender jazz mash potato fuzztone all over your thighs' - come. 'From now on i'm staying awake but u can call me a dreamer 2' - dreamer.
"We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15

That song is BEAST "In the beginning god made the sea, but on the 7th day he made me"

Other favourites of mine include

Prettyman "Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful"

International Lover "Good evening. This is your pilot Prince speaking. U r flying aboard the Seduction 747. We ask that U please observe the "No Letting Go" sign. I anticipate a few turbulence along the way."

Style "Style ain't the jeep U bought when U know your broke ass got bills Style is lettin' your lover drive while U talk on the phone and chill"

If I Was Your Girlfriend "I mean, we don't have to make children to make love, and then, we don't have to make love to have an orgasm"

Ballad of Dorothy Parker "Yeah let me get a fruit cocktail i ain't too hungry"

Lady Cab Driver "Yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that 1's 4"

I Wanna Melt With U "This is safe sex, New Power Generation style, A funky little story about u and me"

Style is not biting style when U can't find the funk chatterbox

ill I've always hated this lyric. Ruins the whole song for me. How could such a lame line as "Do you after school like some homework", coming from a 30-something year old man get anybody hot?

(all time)

(still, still would stand all time)

no one man would be ruler

therefore love must rule us all

dishonesty, anger, fear, jealousy and greed will fall

Love can save us all

I love it when he paints an outlandish picture with just a few words, leaving the door wide open for all kinds of interpretations. Take wars / terrorism for example : "little babies in make up terrorize the western world" (Crystal Ball). Could have referred to child soldiers in dresses and wigs, could have referred to Melly Mephisto's diabolical babies bringing about the end of days with freakin' bazooka lipstick!

However, that was 86. Fast forward 20 years and you get "The main problem with war is that nobody ever wins" (Resolution). Yathink, P? Thanks for the shocking insight.

I need a breather wink Mooh!

Baby, take a real good look at my face
Cause honey, it just might be the last time
Maybe U should’ve played an ace
Instead U played the queen
you'd be better off cheating than trying to read my mind

HE HAS SO MANY! I think Prince is heavily underrated as a lyricist! He can be really 'DEEP' when he wants too. Haha.

He has a unique theory on how he conveys his points. I really enjoy his lyrics most of the time. NOT ALL THE TIME. Sometimes it seems he just wants to rhyme..Listen to 'Guitar' on Planet Earth. You'll see what I mean..lol

It's Button Therapy, Baby!
