The last verse of future soul song and the second half of the second verse. His ad-libs at the end are way too mundane lyrically too. They undercut the ethereal quality of the rest of the song.

I don't know why people are so confused by the surgery line in i love u in me. To me it was always clear. Surgery transforms. Making love with this woman is a transformative experience too. Pretty clear and quite a compliment to the lady too. That's actually a very good Princely line.


I'm pretty sure that's not how Prince meant it lol...Surgery is physical and precise, done by someone who is an expert at knowing the human body. Prince pretty much means it that way he meant it: she is physical and precise in how she brings him pleasure, and is an expert at knowing his body. The lyrics in the entire song--especially the chorus--focuses completely on the physical, not the spiritual or transformative.


Your interpretation is cool, though. I just don't think he meant he was transformed.


On that topic, though, I think this lyric from the same song is worse lol:


No man in this world could ever hope to last
When my baby down shifts and starts pumpin' fast


ill

How about this: The friends of my enemies are not my frenemies. Prince just needs to

write a good song and include that phrase in the chorus and we've got a winner.

Technically, the above response answers the question started with this thread. - "If you

had a chance to see the future would you try? (Come) If you will, so will I."

"The scene you remember the most is none of 'em
That ain't a boast, girl
I'm just in front of them others, I'm a gracious host
Everybody under me, make a toast"

... from "Sticky Like Glue" ... This arrogant and lazy rap ruins what is otherwise the best song on 20Ten.

'Wet circles 'round the toy while you bring yourself to joy' always makes me flinch. Ha. And I thought I was unshockable.


OK I feel dumb - what song is this line from?



Something from Rainbow Children. I forget which. He just says it on the end.
