The Other Side Of The Pillow

Cool as the other side of the pillow
Smooth as another glass of wine, oh yes sir
I'm so glad U're my baby, oh yeah
I'm so glad that U're mine
Bad as Bonny when she ran with Barrow [Clyde], yeah
When U kiss me, feels like I'm committing a crime, oh yeah
U use furniture in new ways, yes you do
I can't find the adjectives enough to say
I'm so glad U're my baby...okay (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Cool as the other side of the pillow (oh baby)
So smooth there's another glass of wine (bubbly, bubbly)
I'm so glad U're mine, U're my baby (oh yes I am), oh yes I am (oh yes I am)
I'm so glad U're mine

Cool as the other side (U're my baby) of the pillow
Smooth, I wanna drink U all out
How did U learn that trick with the ... chair?
I don't care
Just as long as U do it again

Cool as the other side, cool as the other side, cool as the other..
Cool as the other, cools as the other side...
As the other side of the pillow, baby
Cool (cool),
Glas of wine
I'll get tipsy and I ... [whistling]
Cool as the other side of the pillow
Cool

The Other Side Of The Pillow is the eighth track on Prince's 21st album The Truth (his fifth using the name ). In 2002, a live version was also included as the seventh track on the first disc of One Nite Alone... Live!, Prince's first live album (along with Muse 2 The Pharaoh, Mellow and Strange Relationship from the same show), and a slightly edited version had been included seven months earlier as the fourth track on the One Nite Alone... Live EP promotional CD.Specific recording dates for the studio version are not known, but the track is believed to have been recorded in Autumn 1996 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (along with the rest of the album).

I liked the packaging that we did for The Truth as a full CD. Unfortunately, it never came out, so, that's too bad. There's a cassette floating around that kind of has the cover on it. It's kind of smashed up with Prince sitting on a stool playing guitar. But, in the interior, I took a cue from Purple Rain and actually did typography that was all different for the different songs. We had all these random black and white (images). I liked it because it didn't show Prince's face. I like the interior little poster thing. I thought that was a lot of fun. -Steve Parke

The Truth is my joint. Played it every day 4 like a month and a half after I got it (have every intention of playing it sometime this week 2). Live version of this (from ONA) is great also. My unfamiliarity had me thinking the line was "Bonnie when she ran with a barrel" (a gun). Lawd
