My apologies Prince, I wasn't ready for "When The Lights Go Down"

When THE VAULT came out, I wasn't into this jazzy vibe that he's on...
but, i can see clearly now and.... this song is INFECTIOUS....
Those bongos in the beginning are MARVELOUS, then it sounds
like the band catches a groove, and rides it out for the duration of the song.

My new fav...at the moment! thumbs up!
Anyone else feel me?

I'm gonna have to listen to the rest of the CD...
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

When The Lights Go Down

Another Friday night
Another tired line

Baby, U sure look good,
Hey baby, what's your sign?
How many ask 4 your number
Before they even know your name?
How many out there tired of playing
This silly o-old time game?

Hey, and when the lights go down
And it's justa U 2
It's when U and your lover, yeah
Do what [... wanna] do

That's when U feel the heat
Hotter than July
That's when U and your baby, baby, baby
When your baby get a ride
Yeah, when your baby get a ride

How can U tell him no
When he loves U so?
Buy U anything
Anything U want
His eyes all aglow
He'll know U’re good 2 go
Duh-dun
Duh-dun
Duh-dun
In front of a restaurant, yeah

Girl, U’d better know
Really, until U do it couple o' times in a row
It's just the same
It's just a game
Go back to do whatever, sleep outside your door

When the lights go down, yeah
And it's just U 2
That's when U hear the sounds
Of what true lovers do, yeah
And when U feel the heat, yo
Hotter than July
That's when U and your baby
When your baby get a ride
Yeah, hey, and when your baby get a ride now

Then when your baby get a ride

That's when your baby get a ride
That's when your baby play with U tonight

Un-fucking-believeable track!
I loved it from the first second I heard it.
The rest of the album grows on u too, it came out with such negativity among fans I dismissed it at first.

I flipped whn he played it at a soundcheck last year...damn!

Real good tune. nod

There's a beautiful bit of piano in there - a very quick rise and fall of delicate chords which gets me everytime.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.
