OK this is a really cheesy post... but I felt the need to post these lyrics because I love them...

Close your eyes, sweet baby
Now don't u cry
Everybody gets their heart broke
Sweet baby, sometime
So he left u for another fool
Yes, a fool
4 lovin' him from the start
Ask yourself what's more important
Him or the broken pieces of your heart sweet baby

Stand tall, (tall)
Sweet baby, (baby)
Don't u fall
U ain't the only one gettin' beat down
It happens 2 us all
The road u chose 2 walk in this life (the road u choose 2 walk in this life)

Is one that leads into the next
So sweet baby, stand tall (sweet baby, stand tall)
stand tall (sweet baby)
Sweet baby, hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon, oh yeah sweet baby
Someway, somehow

(sweet baby)

Sweet baby

Walk faster, sweet baby
Don't let those bad boys catch u now
Those things that they will have u do
U been done known better, oh, and how
How can u sleep knowing that u and a fool
Sing in the same key
Walk faster sweet baby (walk faster)
Strive 2 be the very best that u can be (strive) (sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Oh, sweet baby

Sweet baby, hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon
Oh yeah, sweet baby, someway, somehow

(sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Better days gonna come your way, yeah

One lyric has always stayed in my mind:

Talk of children still frightens me, is my character enough to be?...one that deserves a copy made, this i one day i hope to see.

empty room

Empty room, empty room
How am I gonna fill U?
How am I gonna fill this empty room?

Love is strong, however long
We should've been 4ever
How am I gonna fill this empty room?

Found a strand of your hair
By the bathroom window
How am I ever gonna get U off my mind?

In my bed, in my head
Every word U've spoken
How am I ever gonna fill this empty room?

Lonely hearts, worlds apart
Why must they be broken?
When we could be somewhere makin' love

Love is strong, however long
We should've been 4ever
Baby, why did U leave me all alone?

barren walls, tears fall
But what's the use in cryin'?
I gotta find a way 2 fill this empty room

i know it's typical and all, but Sometimes It Snows In April just says it all for me. I think it is such an honestly written song.

The most inspirational lyrics for me are: "Don't let nobody bring u down, accurate knowlege of Christ and the Father..." and

"You're so good, baby there ain't nobody better..."

"The ride up front is better when you've been in the back. And that's a fact". I like that one--I think I have written it down elsewhere, somewhere

I love alll of the lyrics to "Paisley Park". I can just close my eyes and drift off to a place where "there aren't any rules" with "colourful people whose hair one side is tied back"

Beautiful

Sorry, that should be "swept back"!!!

It's funny how you add your own lyrics sometimes when you feel they fit better and you then convince yourself that yours are correct.

incest is everything it's said to be

Right there is the line I will always remember Prince for - it's his shining glory and biggest achievement.

How about this one...


"Damn Delores,pick another subject please
Introduce the carpet to something other than your knees"

Every word on '4ever in my life' nuff said!!!

I do try

RIO beat me 2 it! - Hey! That was my line! No fair!

I could tell from the moment U walked in the room
That it wasn’t your dress U had on
That wasn’t your perfume
And what happened 2 the ring that I gave U?
What am I 2 assume?
I love U, but I just don’t trust U anymore

U could tell from the moment U looked in my eyes
That I could see right through Ü
U must apologise
I’ve always given U the best in life
Even in the wrong, it was right
I know U trust me, but U don’t love me anymore
No

I remember meeting U here in the good ol’ days
I would never pick the flower of my favourite protegé
Maybe if I would have
Then U would not treat me this way
U tricked me - but U will not anymore

No, no
I love you, but I don’t trust U anymore

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played pokeno 4 money
And u robbed me blind
Remember how u used 2 scream so loud
Cuz u hated that number 9

Hey, I saw your sister skating on the lake
This afternoon
Good Heaven how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters she's so tall

But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know, u are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u, u should've been there
U see, of all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Yeah

My momma used 2 say
Always trust your lover
Now I guess that only applies 2 her

Cuz baby u promised me
Baby u promised me u'd never leave
Then u died on the 25th day of December
Oh baby

Last night I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, u, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Yeah

Your father said it was pnemonia
Your mother said it was strep
But the doctor said u were dead
And I, I say its senseless

Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daquaris 'til I'm blind
As long as I can hear u smilin' baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Yeah, mine
Yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the 1's I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

Some people tell me I got great legs
Can't figure out why U make me beg
Does not compute (Does not compute)
Don't not compute (Don't not compute)
U think you're special, well so do I
Why do special women make me cry?
Does not compute (Does not compute)
It don't not compute (Don't not compute)

Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
'Cuz why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?

Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U
It don't compute (Don't not compute)
Somethin' mama don't compute (Don't not compute)
What's the hangup? What's the scam?
Guess U think I'm just another 1...1 of your fans
It don't compute (Don't not compute)
Somethin' honey don't compute (Don't not compute)

Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water U drink
'Cuz why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?

I've got 2 get 2 U, baby
Some people think I'm kinda smart
Why must a fella stop with U before he starts?
It don't compute, mama (Does not compute)
Somethin' don't compute (Don't not compute)
I'd buy U clothing, buy U fancy cars
But U gotta talk 2 me, baby, tell me who U really r

Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water U drink
Why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?

(Must be something in the water U drink)
(Does not compute)
(Don't not compute)
(Don't not compute)
(Must be something in the water U drink)
Bitch -- U think you're special? (Must be something in the water U drink)
So do I
(second coming) (Must be something in the water U drink)
Why in God's name
do U wanna make me cry?
Why? Why? (Must be something in the water U drink)
I'd do anything 4 U, anything (Must be something in the water U drink)
Why don't U talk 2 me? (Must be something in the water U drink)
Tell me who u r (Must be something in the water U drink)
don't do this 2 me (Must be something in the water U drink)
please don't do this (Must be something in the water U drink)

Why? Why?
I do love U. I do.
Or else I wouldn't go through all the things I do

Called u yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that
U probably weren't alone
So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

You've been gone 17 days
17 long nights
The main drag is knowing that
You're holding someone else tight

I wanna to call u everyday
And beg u 2 be near me
But I know your head is underwater
I doubt that u could hear me

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 Days
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 Days

Called u yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
If you're the one who's always lonely
Then I'm the one who's always alone

So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
All I've got is 2 cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Why don't you answer your phone?

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
17 Days

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
17 Days

AGA-DOO DOO DOO, PUSH PINEAPPLE SHAKE THE TREE...

I ain't gonna write them down, but listen to the Grand Progression. Now that is meaningful!! I love it.
