What is he implying?

gotta be precise with the strokin n'such...

that it is done with precision & skill?

or maybe she cuts him open...or vice versa...she does say 'i love you in me...' maybe she cuts herself open...

ah...i dunno..

now that's kinna morbid...

His worst lyrics ever. Ever!

I dunno but the first thing that comes to mind is Weird Al "LIKE A SURGEON" cover of Madonnas like a virgin...I know Pej is being silly but iz been a long phucin day...

It eventually provokes a malpractice claim.

Stab with precision and the intent of healing.

No - his worst lyric is "...this condition I got is crucial."

That doesn't make ANY sense. Poorest syntax I've ever seen.

Crucial to what? Maybe he meant to say critical. Crucial as an adjective, according to webster means he has "a state of being ("condition I got") important or essential as resolving a crisis (crucial)" What? If he had completed a decent education these grammatical disasters would not occur.

Maybe he is talking about that operation game..where you pull out the organs and his nose glows red if your hand slips.

You know she puts her gloves on...has a table full of gadgets and instruments, lays him down underneath a bright light and attempts to extract his goo...with careful precision of course

The intent of healing.. BINGO.. I think this is it! I have always wondered about this lyric myself. (This is the second time I've quoted Supa today)

YUM!!!...(thinking about what HandsClap sed)

I always thought he could have come
up with a better line there.
Even 'when she makes love it's like a fantasy"
would have been better.
still
but better than the surgery line

I knew I loved you for a good reason

On "Sexual Healing",Marvin Gaye sings...


"darlin,you're so great...I can't wait for you to operate"

So,I guess he and Prince were using "surgery" as some kind of metaphor for sex?

Sex, like surgery, is supposed to make you feel better.

"When she's making love it's like surgery".

Get it? Good.

prince is describing

perfect love making

precise skillful

love making is an art

surgeons are at the top

of their profession

comparing love making

to surgery is creative


doctor prince got skills

I really like that! 2 bad ur gay

ok i'm over it now!I like this song I dont see anything wrong with the lyrics.

Yeah, I never got that either, but then somebody (organgrinder?) mentioned the healing aspect on another thread, and since then I've been able to appreciate it. Which is nice, since I otherwise ADORED the song from the beginning. Nice to have that little issue 'fixed' in my mind.

My husband, however, still thinks it's the worst song lyric ever written.

(BTW, to whomever said some time back that whenever they listen to Savior they thought he said "when I look in your eyes I can see a pair off dice," I'd just like to say FUCK YOU, because now that's all I can hear when I listen to it! Aurgh! )

This sure does take the right instruments...

The same thing happens to me when I listen to "Graffiti Bridge" (the title track - an admittedly rare occurence): all I can hear is "Everybody wants to fuck the greedy bitch!"

Nice recovery sumtymes. I was beginning to think that Prince went R. Kelly on this one.
