This song took a GOOD while to "grow on" me..


I like it enough now, but it's still kind of all over the place. I think this song would be better if the tempo were a little slower.

Then, there's that line late in the song, which I'm sure could be debated forever..

does Prince say:

"you want me to swim in your love sea"

or

"you want me to swivel in your love seat"
(I think it's this 1)



rain is wet
& sugar is sweet
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

No debate on this...it's damn funky.

Oh, mltijchr, it is "you want me to swivel in your love seat". I like the sound of the first option, but it's not it. nod

Best part of this song: when the music stops for a split second, and Prince says "Dig me, now.."...lol...just an amazingly cool moment in one amazingly cool and funky song...

DavidEye, completely agree with what you said up there... nod

I think it's that one, too...cuz doesn't he say something like "You want me to sit around your living room...yeah, you want me to walk right down your halls..."...if so, then "sit/swivel in your love seat" would fit perfectly...lol

Hell, I dunno...all I do know is that only someone as cool, sexy and weird as Prince could make sitting on a couch sound nasty and perverted... 8)



...dig me, now...

It's simply brilliant. The joy and ecstasy are more palpable on this song than on any other.

I never understood why this song was never released as a single.It would have made a perfect second single instead of the bland,uneventful "Glam Slam".The song "Lovesexy" is fast,funky and fun,easily the best song on the album.


It very almost was a single instead of Glam Slam. Just before Glam Slam was released Prince had second thoughts about it being a single. He then wanted to put out Lovesexy instead, but WB had already pressed up Glam Slam and didn't want to scrap it. Prince went with the release (probably because WB had been so understanding about pulling The Black Album at the last minute). Why Lovesexy never got released after that nobody knows, as remixes were made, and a single edit, (which clocks in at about 3 minutes). There were plans to release 6 (!) singles from Lovesexy initially; Alphabet St, Glam Slam, Lovesexy, eye No, I Wish U Heavan & When 2 R In Love. Though the later ones never materialised due to Prince moving on to the Batman soundtrack.

I like L. There remain 3 songs from "1999" and 1 from "Lovesexy." Either way, one of the songs from my favorite album will win! biggrin

There was footage of Prince at the mixing desk, remixing the Lovesexy 12" on that Prince: A Musical Portrait program.
That would've been a great single!
(I wonder what the b-side would've been?)

I'll have to dig it out & watch it again.
There was also footage of Prince in the studio playing guitar with one hand and keyboards with the other! (show off). And Prince laying down a FUNKY bass line on Partyman that wasn't used.

I remain intrigued by the fact that there is a totally different and unrelased studio version of the track 'Lovesexy' lurking around somewhere.

According to UPTOWN, the original version of 'Lovesexy', which was taped as a band recording (on December 14th 1987), was "lighter and bouncier".

Everybody on the block say it is the best
The most vital is what they say, more or less
It put my name upon my thigh
It makes me dance, It makes me cry
And when I touch it race cars burn rubber in my pants

This feeling's so good in every single way
I want it morning, noon and night of every day
And if by chance I can not have it - I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away
Kiss away. Dig me now

Anyone that's ever touched it,
they don't want anything else, no they don't
And I got 2 tell the world,
I just can't keep it to myself
All in life becomes easier,
no question is unresolved
And I'm not afraid

Come on and touch it, I know U will love it
With it I know that heaven's a butterfly kiss away

This feeling's so good in every single way
I want it morning, noon and night of every day
And if by chance I can not have it - I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away
Kiss away

Lovesexy

Lovesexy

Rain is wet, sugar is sweet
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Everybody, everybody knows
When love calls, U got 2 go

Lovesexy

Tonight we make love with only words
Girls first, girls first
OK so like first I'll start by telling U how
Intelligent a curve your behind has
And then I can tell U that I can just smell U
And race cars burn rubber in my pants
But I really dig trippin' on the thought of
Being caught by someone with your beauty, style and grace
Baby I don't care I would rip out my hair
4 just 2 nights with your face
I don't want to make love 2 U
I just want 2 look at U
I just want 2 listen 2 U

Oh, pretty little whip, U got me drippin'
Drippin' all over the floor, the floor
If I come back as a woman, I want a body like yours
A body like yours

Living rooms
I think... I think U would
I think U wanna play house
Yeah, I think U wanna play house

Lovesexy

U don't mind
I think U
I think U want me to (beep) inside of U
Yeah, yeah, I...

U want me to suck around your living room
Yeah, U want me to walk right down your halls
Mmm hmmm
Lovesexy

U want me to swivel in your love seat
Don't U baby?

U want me to write my name on your walls
U want me to write my name

Lovesexy
We make love with only words
I'll make love to U, tomorrow

Sweet dreams
