Half of Prince's catalogue features songs with ridiculously simplistic and immature lyrics, tho...lol

When Prince is on, his lyrics are amazing...but sometimes his lyrics sound as if they were made up on the spot as he recorded...

I lay back whenever I listen to most of Prince's earlier funk jams. They're just grooves really, that's the charm.

hey where in London are you?

Does that make us dumb?

Anji said:

I thought they were very touching.

If you like to fight you're a double drag fool i'm going to another life how about you? shakespear has nothing on that

Ridiculously simplistic and immature is a tradition.


You Sure Love to Ball
~Marvin Gaye


ooh Baby please turn yourself around
ahh baby so I can love you
ohh baby baby
I'll make you feel so good
ohh baby just like you want me to
ohhh
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby I hope you never freeze
I love you I love you so much
Ohh baby baby don't ever go no where
ohh baby I'll love you night and day
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh I just love you that's all
I've got my mind made up baby
There are no doubts (Ohh baby)
Since you're my foxy lady, foxy lady
Ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
My lady my baby sure does love to ball
(on my mind there's...)
All I know that if we should ever
Ever, ever ever ever part
That one day will surely break my heart
Got to get ready, got ot get ready
(ohh)
Ohh baby You sure do love to ball
Ohh baby you sure do love to ball


Love Serenade
~Barry White

Take it off
Baby, take it all off
I want you to wave your hand to the world
I dont wanna feel no clothes
I dont wanna see no panties
And take off that brazier my dear
Everybody's gone
I'm taking the receiver off the phone
Because baby you and me...
This night...
We're gonna get it on
To love serenade...

You know I get in these moods...
Well you know how it is
And I'm very glad to know that you feel the same way too
Baby we're gonna lay here...And we're gonna make love
And we're gonna do it like its supposed to be done
Heaven only knows what goes on behind closed doors
The very depths of our souls will reach out tonight
You and me baby

Love Serenade
Oh Baby
Oh Baby

Make me want you
Tempt me..
Tempt me...
Tempt me...
Make me need you
Let me long for you

You'll know what its like when a Man and Woman become One
And the only real way you can do that baby..
Is when we're makin' love to each other
When you reach that...
That simple feeling when you're makin love it's...
It's like you're in another world
Help me...
Help me...
Oh baby help me
Lord have mercy on me.


I never really thought of LPWM as simplistic
and immature. Just angst and id from an
idiosyncratic freak.

ps, that's not my soulful
contribution, Anji. Patience.

The lyrics R excellent!!!I love the lyrics 2 this 1.
It got Prince freaky since of humour in it & U ain´t
seeing that on TRC.
/peace Manki

Anji: You can say the same thing when it comes to your favorite songs: New Power Generation & Graffiti Bridge.

Disorder said:

They're not my favourite songs, Disorder.

manki said:

Love the humour too!

Fantastic song...?
I would call it cool, childish, crazy, but not fantastic!
And your so right about the lyrics!

I would take the fun lyrics to this song over any 'theocratic order' bullshit that you seem to like so much...

WatchThemFall said:

The theocratic order doesn't turn me on either, I respect it though.

Anji said:

and this thread is fucking great

jn2 said:

Threads are what we make of them, don't you think?

Maybe but "the lyrics are so ridiculously simplistic and immature! " Dmsr!

Anji said:

What's immature about singing honestly about sex? The desire to have wild sex after a break-up is a natural human emotion, and it's great that Prince sings it like it is.

If that was a real-life situation, I'd much rather someone was that honest with me about what they want rather than giving the usual bullshit.

And what's wrong with simplistic? Sex doesn't have to be a complex thing to get tortured about. It's nice to see it celebrated as something fun.

Simple lyrics based aroud one good, creative sentiment often make great songs. "Let's pretend we're married. . .I sincerely wanna fuck the taste out of your mouth. . .can you relate?" Well, that pretty much sums up every great crush I've ever had. I LOVE that song.
