When I Lay My Hand on U: INCREDIBLE LYRICS! -- Other recommendations?

So I've recently discovered "When I Lay My Hand on U", and I have not been this amazed by a song in ages! The music is great, but the lyrics just take my breath away:

"Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game
You'll feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on You"

Those words can stand proudly next to Dylan's. Just perfect!

Can anyone think of other Prince lyrics that are equally notable?

Yeah, I love this one too. Heared it for the first time when it was played at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2011.
Other good lyrics? Nothing Compares to You, If I Was Your Girlfriend.

Love it, it's one of my favourite songs. And the Montreux performance is incredible.
