What are your favorite lines from Prince's songs?

One of the things that drew me to Prince's music is the lyrics-- from witty, funny, political and/or controversial to romantic, sexy and/or downright dirty. I have so many favorites over the years and I won't be able to remember them name them all right now, but some of my favorites are:

"In France a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name."

"Am I black or white, am I straight or gay?"

"If God one day struck me blind, your beauty I'd still see.
Love's 2 weak 2 define just what U mean 2 me."

"In my daddy's car, it's U I really wanna drive."

"I guess I must be dumb cuz U had a pocket full of horses,
Trojan and some of them used.

"Ooh you got me dripping-- dripping all over the floor."
"Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."



"We had fun, didn't we?"

Is thought it was daisies in your YARD !? but what the hey!

I like some of the weirder lyrics! Excuse paraphrasing...

"..cartoon characters look better when they're on the run"

"Who (who) ever said that elephants were stronger than mules"

"chocolate religion, spirits alive. All I was brought up in this world to know, is squashed when a demon swallows him whole"

"You could cut off all my fins but to your ways I will not bend"

I could go on...

"100% Italian silk imported Egyptian lace,
Nothin' baby, could compare to your lovely face"

Simply amazing. I listen to that line from Adore and say, "Damn". Now that's lovely!
The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else!

How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve?
But there's a rumour goin' round that you aint been getting served

I got the butter 4 yo muffin

wait a minute, I just got some e-mail

...but your still a queen to me

I know you can feel me, I know you can dance, what do you know about the greatest romance?

drive us to the cleaners in your pin stripe suit

arteeest, somebody didn't hear me

...keep bustin'

oooh, I think I like it with the dress half on
I'll zip if far enough to see the crack-o'-dawn
don't worry about the bust, I'm gonna lock up every door
Then we can do it in the kitchen on the floor
In the bathroom standing on the tub and holding on the rod
In the closet underneath the clothes and oh, my God
In the bedroom on the dresser with your feet in the drawers
In the pantry on the shelf I guarantee u wont be bored

Behold the children of the new power
are more and mightier than you
you that have scorned and held back the inevitable
must now come to grips with the truth
all that is good in the eyes of heaven
will rebuke your powder monkey ways
and let that same heaven have mercy
when the wrath of the sun knocks upon your gate
Have Mercy

I like..."U make me say oobey doop be shoo ooh
Doo fly me shoo doo koo ooh"-(from ooh bey doop) just because it took me forever to sing them right with the song when I found out what the lyrics were... and "the thought of his tounge in the V of her love"-When 2 R in Love...(no comment)and all of the lyrics from Scandalous. smile
