Lyric Check - "Smoke Some Mary Jane"?

I was listening to "On The Couch" today, and I could've sworn I heard "Smoke some Mary Jane"! eek

Anyone else hear this? Or know what the REAL lyric is?

The line I'm talking about is at the 2:13 mark . . .

?

cut n paste from another thread...hope it helps.

On The Couch

C’mon baby
Don’t make me sleep on the couch
Love Jones is on the TV again baby
Eye want 2 go down south

C’mon baby
U know it’s undignified 2 sleep alone
That’s what all the people who ain’t got nobody do
U know they do
Talkin on the telephone

Don’t make me crash
Don’t make me sleep without Ur kiss
???
Every inch of me… what?!

Dontcha make me suffer this ???

Eye no that we need 2 b married
Shouldn’t have let me unzip Ur dress
Why’d U do it baby?
Confess Ur tears
Relax Ur fears
Don’t make me sleep on the couch
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.

Looks like the ??? part is the same part I'm asking about! I'll find out tomorrow, if there is a lyric book. Anyone have the lyric book already?

I guess I would have to read the lyrics tomorrow, but it sounds to me like he's saying:

"Tossing and a turning
Every inch of me yearning"

Hmmm . . . I dunno . . . if that IS what he's saying, I'll have to strain to "mold" my hearing around it . . .

see, the thing is though, its close to the end of the song, you know, like the parts that arent usually listed in the lyrics, i really dont think it will go word for word through all that small talk at the end, but i hope so, cuz now i am wondering too nod

Go d/l any live version of the song... Prince is clearly saying: Tossing and a turning...
