The Hits / The B-Sides lyrics

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling...can u picture this?

Dream if u can
A courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

CHORUS:
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding

What's the matter with ur life?
Is the poverty bringin' u down?
Is the mailman jerkin' u 'round?
Did he put ur million dollar check in someone else's box?

Tell me, what's the matter with ur world
Was it a boy when u wanted a girl? (Was it a boy when u wanted a girl?)
Don't u know straight hair ain't got no curl (No curl)
Life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it

Hey, lover, I got a sugarcane
That I wanna lose in you,
Baby can you stand the pain
Hey, lover, sugar don't you see?
There's so many things that you do to me
Ooo baby!
All I wanna see is the love in your eyes (hey, lover)
And all I wanna hear is your sweet love sighs
All I wanna feel is burning flames (hey, lover)
Tell me, tell me, baby, that U feel the same
Tell me that U feel the same way I do

Baby, baby, when I look at U
I get a warm feeling inside
There's somethin' about the things U do
That keeps me satisfied
I wouldn't lie 2 U, baby
It's mainly a physical thing
This feeling that I got 4 U, baby
It makes me wanna sing

CHORUS:
I feel 4 U
I think I love U
I feel 4 U
I think I love U

Baby, baby, when I lay with U
There's no place I'd rather be

There's some talk going 'round town
That you really don't give a damn
They say you really put me down
When I'm doing the best I can
I gave you all of my love
I even gave you my body
Tell me, baby, ain't that enough?
What more do you want me to do?
I play the fool when we're together
But I cry when we're apart, yeah
I couldn't do you no better

When you were mine
I gave you all of my money
Time after time
You done me wrong
It was just like a dream
You let all my friends come over and meet
And you were so strange
You didn't have the decency To change the sheets

Oh girl, when you were mine
I used to let you wear all my clothes
You were so fine (so fine)
Maybe that's the reason
That it hurt me so

I know (I know)

She saw me walking down the streets
Of your fine city
It kinda turned me on when she looked at me
And said, "C'mere"
Now I don't usually talk to strangers
But she looked so pretty
What can I lose,
If I, uh, just give her a little ear?
"What's up little girl?"
"I ain't got time to play."
Baby didn't say too much
She said, "Are you gay?"
Kinda took me by suprise

dearly beloved ..
we are gathered here today
to get through this thing called LIFE.
electric word "life", it means forever
and that's a mighty long time
but I'm here to tell you
there's something else .. the afterworld
a world of never ending happiness
you can always see the sun, day or night.
so when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills --

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could have sworn it was judgment day

The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care

They say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

I was dreamin' when I wrote this

It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
It was 10:35 on a lonely friday night
She was standin' by the bar
Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah
I asked her if she wanted 2 dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah

And I said, baby don't waste your time

It's been seven hours and thirteen days

Since u took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues,

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 u

Baby. Girl! U look s...oooo good.
Until the end of time I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart and mind - I truly adore U
If God one day struck me blind
Your beauty I'd still see (U're beauty I'd still see)
Love's 2 weak 2 define - Just what U mean 2 me
From the first moment I saw U
Ooh, I knew U where the 1
That night I had 2 call U
I was rappin' till the sun came up

Oooh...
There I go again falling in love all over
Oooh...
The cycle never ends
You just pray you don't get burned
Oooh...
This fire inside of me, don't nobody realize
Oooh...
What u are to me, but baby u got to learn

I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere
U got to know how I feel about cha
How I always want u near

I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere
I'm counting every minute

Oh yeah!

In France, a skinny man died of a BIG disease
With a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are 17-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack and totin' a machine gun

Time
Times

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside

love come quick
love come in a hurry
there's thieves in the temple tonight
they don't care where they kick
just as long as they hurt you
they're thieves in the temple tonight

love if you're there come save me
from all this cold despair
i can hang when you're around
but i should die if you're not there

love come quick
love come in a hurry
they're thieves in the temple tonight

This will be the day
That u will hear me say
That I will never run away

I am here for u
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what u're gonna do

If I gave u diamonds and pearls
Would u be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give u the world
But all I can do is just offer u my love

Which one of us is right
If we always fight

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one else in the whole universe
Will ever compare

I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all

I just can't believe all the things people say -- Controversy
Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? -- Controversy
Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? -- Controversy
Controversy Controversy
I can't understand human curiosity -- Controversy
Was it good for you? Was I what you wanted me to be? -- Controversy
Do you get high? Does your daddy cry? -- Controversy

There's something about u, baby
It happens all the time
Whenever I'm around u, baby
I get a dirty mind
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter who's around
It doesn't matter
I just wanna lay ya down
In my daddy's car
It's you I really wanna drive
But you never go too far
I may not be your kind of man
I may not be your style
But honey all I wanna do
Is just love you for a little while

I ain't got no money
I ain't like those other guys you hang around
And it's kinda funny
But they always seem to let you down
And I get discouraged
'cause I never see you anymore
And I need your love, babe yeah
That's all I'm living for, yeah
I didn't wanna pressure you, baby
But all I ever wanted to do
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be the only one that makes you come running
I wanna be your lover

I remember when I met u, baby
U were on you're way to be wed
U were such a sexy thing
I loved the way you walked The things you said
And I was so non-chalant
I didn't want you to be mis-led
But I've gotta have u, baby
I got to have you in my bed
And you said
"But I just a virgin And I'm on my way to be wed
But you're such a hunk
So full of spunk,
I'll give you Head

Here we are in this big old empty room, staring each other down
U want me just as much as I want U, let's stop fooling around
Take me baby... kiss me all over... play with my love
Bring out what's been in me for far too long
Baby, u know that's all I've been dreaming of
Do Me Baby, like u never done before
Give it to me till I just can't take no more
Do Me Baby, like u never done before

I get delirious, whenever you're near
i lose all self control baby, just can't steer
my wheels get locked in place
i get a stupid look on my face
cuz when it comes to makin a pass pretty mamma
i just cant win a race
cuz i get delirious

delirious delirious delirious

i get delirious, when you hold my hand
my body gets so weak i can hardly stand
my temperature's running hot
baby you got to stop

I guess I should’ve known by the way U parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See, U're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb cuz U had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And U say - "What have I got 2 lose?"

And honey, I say Little Red Corvette

I'm not your woman
I'm not your man
I am something that U'll never understand
I'll never beat U
I'll never lie
And if U're evil I'll forgive U by and by

CHORUS:
Cuz U - I would die 4 U, yeah
Darlin', if U want me 2
U - I would die 4 U

I'm not your lover
I'm not your friend
I am something that U'll never comprehend
No need 2 worry
No need 2 cry

1 2 1 2 3 4

Yeah

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely

Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door

She wore a
Raspberry beret

If I Was Your Girlfriend

"Look at the bargains over here, ladies"

If I was your girlfriend, would U remember
2 tell me all the things U forgot when I was your man?
Hey hey, when I was your man

If I was your best friend, would U let me
Take care of U and do all the things that only a best friend can?
Oh, only best friends can

If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend

Uh!

U don't have 2 be beautiful 2 turn me on
I just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn
U don't need experience 2 turn me on
U just leave it all up 2 me, I'm gonna show U what it's all about

CHORUS:
U don't have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your . . . . . kiss

Uh-oh here she comes
She got them gold hot pants on again
Yeah man
I wanna talk, but I dunno
She's a peach

She was dark, she was tan
She made me glad to be a man
She was young, she was smart
Just one glance and she stole my heart
The kinda girl you wanna teach
She's a peach

Summertime, feelin' fine, getting wild
All that's on my mind
Here she come, dressed in red

Here we are folks
The dream we all dream off
Boy versus girl in the World Series of love
Tell me, have U got the look?
U walked in, I woke up
I never seen a pretty girl
Look so tough, baby
U got that look
Color U peach and black
Color me takin' aback
Crucial, I think I wantcha

You've got the look, you've got the hook
U sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
Your face is jammin'

Yo man
What?
She came
Where?
There
Oh
In a word or two it's you I wanna do
No not cha body, yo mind you fool

Come here baby, yeah
You sexy motherfucker

We're all alone in a villa on the Rivera
That's in France on the south side
In case you cared
Out of all yo friends I wanna be the closest
That's why I tell you things
So you'll be the mostest

Ahhhhah Ahhhhah Ooohhh

Club Mix {x2}

How can I put this in a way so as not 2 offend or unnerve?
But there's a rumor goin' all around that U ain't been gettin' served
They say that U ain't "U know what" in, baby, who knows how long
It's hard 4 me 2 say what's right when all I wanna do is wrong

CHORUS:
Gett off – 23 positions in a one night stand

This is it
It's time for u to go to the wire
U will hit
Cuz u got the burnin' desire
It's your time (Time)
U got the horn so why don't u blow it
U are fine (Fine)
U're filthy cute and baby u know it

Cream
Get on top
Cream
U will cop
Cream
Don't u stop
Cream
Sh-boogie bop

U're so good
Baby there ain't nobody better (Ain't nobody better)

(U don't understand, I ain't scared of u mutha fuckas) [Kick it!]

(Stir it like coffee)
The Pope
(Stir it like muthafuckin' coffee)
The Pope
(The hell)
This is the Pope

Oh, your car got mags that be dippy dippy dope
But the whole damn nation got the same
Honey only flock 2 the bee that's the Pope
Not the President with government lame

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend

{B-side of Pop Life}
Hello Hello Hello Hello

Hello Hello Hello Hello

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said okay and everything was cool
'Til a camera tried 2 get in my bed

Hello My bed Hello Hello

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")
When this man tries 2 get in the car

Who gonna stop 200 balloons?
Nobody
Let's do it

25 policemen all in a row
Can't stop the party people - Go go go
If U can't beat 'em join 'em baby say so
It's party time everybody come on lets go

Fly with me
200 balloons (Let's do it)

Blowing down the city colder than ice
I think U better love me 'cuz I'm really kind of nice
If U do me once girl U have 2 do me twice

{B-side of Glam Slam}
Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4
All the party people get on the floor
All the party people get on the floor
Bass

Glam Slam (Glam Slam)
Escape!

Glam Slam
Free your mind from this rat race
Glam Slam
Escape!

15 minutes ain't long enough
To be out your mind in a world so tough
If U wanna escape and truly be
All the crack in Compton won't set U free
Come on

{B-side of Let's Work}
Sittin' outside your door, about to break down
Fourth time this week somebody's come around
Who's it gonna be tonight, who's the lucky man
Where you get the attitude, I'll never understand
Uh Oh, here he comes now, so happy that he came
Hey! Was it good boy? [Thoughts on, of her aim]
What goes on inside your head that makes you want to take them all to bed?

{B-side of Delirious}
If I had your number
I'd call u on the phone
I'd breathe a little heavy [...] word maybe I'd start to groan

I don't love u
I'm just a horny toad

I don't want your money
'Cause I got all I need
All I want is to rub your body until u start to bleed

I don't love u
I'm just a horny toad

If I had your address
I'd come right 2 your door

{B-side of Partyman}

I've been diggin' U 4 such a long time
U don't even know that I'm alive
Something 'bout the way U walk just really blows my mind
Sorry but I'm sick of all this jive
Ok?

Let me touch your body baby
Let me feel U up
Come on baby, come on
Let me feel U up
Let me touch your body baby
Let me feel U up
Come on baby, come on
Let me feel U up

{B-side of America}
Girl

Oohwee baby, your body's like no other

Girl
It's U I gotta know (Gotta know)
Oohwee baby, I bet you're quite a lover

Girl (Ooh girl)
I wanna take U home
Oohwee baby U dream I scream inside U

I want U in the worst way
U make me....

Girl
Girl

Girl
Won't U kiss me?
Oohwee baby, my lips they want U so

Girl

{B-side of Arms Of Orion}
She took off her dress, and I took a peek
While thunder storm played hide and seek
I begged for a kiss, she gave me 7
Our lips touched and it feel like heaven

Everything I want is what she does to me
She don't blush 'cause she's so damned free
When she makin' love it's like surgery
And she say, ooh
I love U in me

I promised myself not to come until she does

I...I...I...I...
Erotic City
Erotic City

All of my purple life
I've been looking for a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention, babe

If we cannot make babies,
maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty u and me,
Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn,
making love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't u see,
thoughts of pretty u and me

Look'it here
(The lights go out)
The lights go out
The smell of doom
Is creepin' into your lonely room

The bed's on fire
Your fate is sealed
And you're so tired
And the reason is Camille-mille

Shockadelica
The girl must be a witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched

Shockadelica
You need a second opinion
But she never wears a stitch
So you can't take her home

Once upon a time in the land of fever, there lived a scarlet pussy
This kitty cat of fine descent, was cherished by her mother
Who wouldn't let another, pet her, unless he was qualified

Every 1st of the month this pretty feline got the hots
And that's when the neighborhood (D-d-dogs)
They'd line up around the block
Meow

When my little scarlet feline roars

Whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams
Are aimed in the wrong direction
She's always there
Tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair

She's always in my hair
My hair

Whenever I feel like not 2 great at all
Whenever I'm all alone
And even if I hit the wrong notes
She's always in my boat
She's always there

Called u yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that
U probably weren't alone

So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

I keep your picture beside my bed

And I still remember everything u said

I always thought our love was so right

I guess I was wrong

I always thought u'd be by my side

Mama, now u're gone What I wanna know baby, what we had was good

How come u don't call me anymore?

Yeah Listen

I still light the fire on a rainy night

I still like it better when u holding me tight

{B-side of I Would Die 4 U}
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played pokeno 4 money

{B-side of Purple Rain}
In the beginning, there was God
He made the earth, and the heavens
He gave us light to rule the day
And another light to rule the night

The Lord, thy God
Made, He made the seas
He made the fruit upon the trees
When He saw, when He saw that it was good

He made a man, made a man
Only He could, only He could
God made u
God made me too
He made us all

Long ago, there was a man
Change stone 2 bread with the touch of his hand
Made the blind see and the dumb understand

He died 4 the tears in your eyes
Your eyes

Many people came from all around
Hear this man preach, glorious sound
Spoke of man in harmony and love abound

He died 4 the tears in your eyes
Your eyes

Your eyes
Your...eye...

Died 4 the tears in your eyes

Late at night, when the world is sleeping
U r frightened, 'cause the Power's creeping
In your room is something u're afraid of
Life or doom is what this feeling's made of

Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need

Minor G is the chord of pleasure
It will be played eleven measures
U will see fire, but u're cool as ice

When you were mine
I gave you all of my money
Time after time
You done me wrong
It was just like a dream
You let all my friends come over and meet
And you were so strange
You didn't have the decency To change the sheets

Oh girl, when you were mine
I used to let you wear all my clothes
You were so fine (so fine)
Maybe that's the reason
That it hurt me so

"What's up little girl?"
"I ain't got time to play."
Baby didn't say too much
She said, "Are you gay?"
Kinda took me by suprise

Hey, lover, I got a sugarcane
That I wanna lose in you,
Baby can you stand the pain
Hey, lover, sugar don't you see?
There's so many things that you do to me
Ooo baby!
All I wanna see is the love in your eyes (hey, lover)
And all I wanna hear is your sweet love sighs
All I wanna feel is burning flames (hey, lover)
Tell me, tell me, baby, that U feel the same

Ooh, here I go again
Falling in love all over

Whenever I'm around u, baby
I get a dirty mind
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter who's around
It doesn't matter
I just wanna lay ya down
In my daddy's car
It's you I really wanna drive
But you never go too far
I may not be your kind of man
I may not be your style
But honey all I wanna do

I get delirious whenever you're near
Lose all self-control, baby just can't steer
Wheels get locked in place
Stupid look on my face
It comes 2 makin' a pass, pretty mama
I just can't win a race

'Cuz I get delirious (Delirious)
Delirious (Delirious)
Delirious (Delirious)

I get delirious when U hold my hand (Delirious)
Body gets so weak I can hardly stand
My temperature's runnin' hot

This is it
It's time for u to go to the wire
U will hit
Cuz u got the burnin' desire
It's your time (Time)
U got the horn so why don't u blow it
U are fine (Fine)
U're filthy cute and baby u know it

Cream
Get on top
Cream
U will cop
Cream
Don't u stop
Cream
Sh-boogie bop

U're so good
Baby there ain't nobody better (Ain't nobody better)
So u should

I just can't believe all the things people say -- Controversy
Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? -- Controversy
Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? -- Controversy
Controversy Controversy
I can't understand human curiosity -- Controversy
Was it good for you? Was I what you wanted me to be? -- Controversy
Do you get high? Does your daddy cry? -- Controversy

Baby, yes
Until the end of time
I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart and mind
I truly adore U
If God one day stroke me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is 2 weak 2 define
Just what U mean 2 me
From the first moment I saw U
Ooh, I knew U where the 1
That night I had 2 call U
I was rappin' till the sun came up
Tellin' U just how fine U look
In a word, U were sex

No!

I'm going down 2 Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy
She'll want me from my head 2 my feet

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes she will
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna drive my daddy's Thunderbird (My daddy's thunderbird)
A white rad ride, '66 ('67) so glam it's absurd

{B-side of Let's Work}
Sittin' outside your door, about to break down
Fourth time this week somebody's come around
Who's it gonna be tonight, who's the lucky man
Where you get the attitude, I'll never understand
Uh Oh, here he comes now, so happy that he came
Hey! Was it good boy? [Thoughts on, of her aim]
What goes on inside your head that makes you want to take them all to bed?

Baby, baby, when I look at you
I get a warm feeling inside
There's something about the things you do
That keeps me satisfied
I wouldn't lie to you, baby
It's mainly a physical thing
This feeling that I got for you, baby
It makes me wanna sing
I feel for you--I think I love you
I feel for you--I think I love you

Baby, baby, when I lay wit' you
There's no place I'd rather be

I'm not a woman
I'm not a man
I am something that you'll never understand
I'll never beat u
I'll never lie
And if you're evil I'll forgive u by and by

U - I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

I'm not your lover
I'm not your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend

No need 2 worry
No need 2 cry
I'm your messiah and you're the reason why

It's been seven hours and thirteen days

Since u took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues,

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 u

Uh-oh here she come
She got them gold hot pants on again
Yeah man
I wanna talk, but I dunno

She's a Peach

She was dark, she was tan
She made me glad to be a man
She was young, she was smart
Just one glance and she stole my heart
The kinda girl you wanna teach

She's a Peach

Summertime, feelin' fine, getting wild
All that's on my mind
Here she come, dressed in red

(U don't understand, I ain't scared of u mutha fuckas) [Kick it!]

(Stir it like coffee)
The Pope
(Stir it like muthafuckin' coffee)
The Pope
(The hell)
This is the Pope

Oh, your car got mags that be dippy dippy dope
But the whole damn nation got the same
Honey only flock 2 the bee that's the Pope
Not the President with government lame

Yo man

She came
Where?
There!
Oh!
In a word or 2 - it’s u I wanna do
No not cha body, yo mind u fool

Come here baby, yeah

We’re all alone in a villa on the rivera
That’s in france on the south side
In case u cared
Out of all yo friends I wanna be the closest
That’s why I tell u things
So u’ll be the mostest

Whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams
Are aimed in the wrong direction
She's always there
Tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair

She's always in my hair
My hair

Whenever I feel like not 2 great at all
Whenever I'm all alone
And even if I hit the wrong notes
She's always in my boat
She's always there

love come quick
love come in a hurry
there's thieves in the temple tonight
they don't care where they kick
just as long as they hurt you
they're thieves in the temple tonight

love if you're there come save me
from all this cold despair
i can hang when you're around
but i should die if you're not there

love come quick
love come in a hurry
they're thieves in the temple tonight

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?
Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding

There's some talk going 'round town
That you really don't give a damn
They say you really put me down
When I'm doing the best I can
I gave you all of my love
I even gave you my body
Tell me, baby, ain't that enough?
What more do you want me to do?
I play the fool when we're together
But I cry when we're apart, yeah
I couldn't do you no better

Oh yeah
In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside

Called u yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that
U probably weren't alone

So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

{B-side of I Would Die 4 U}
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played pokeno 4 money

{B-side of America}
Girl

Oohwee baby, your body's like no other

Girl

Oohwee baby U dream I scream inside U

Hello Hello Hello Hello

Hello Hello Hello Hello

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said okay and everything was cool
'Til a camera tried 2 get in my bed

Hello My bed Hello Hello

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")
When this man tries 2 get in the car

Who gonna stop 200 balloons?
Nobody
Let's do it

25 policemen all in a row
Can't stop the party people - Go go go
If U can't beat 'em join 'em baby say so
It's party time everybody come on lets go

Fly with me
200 balloons (Let's do it)

Blowing down the city colder than ice
I think U better love me 'cuz I'm really kind of nice
If U do me once girl U have 2 do me twice

Long ago, there was a man
Change stone 2 bread with the touch of his hand
Made the blind see and the dumb understand

He died 4 the tears in your eyes
Your eyes

Many people came from all around
Hear this man preach, glorious sound
Spoke of man in harmony and love abound

He died 4 the tears in your eyes
Your eyes

Your eyes
Your...eye...

Died 4 the tears in your eyes

Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4
All the party people get on the floor

Glam Slam (Glam Slam)
Escape!

Glam Slam
Free your mind from this rat race
Glam Slam

15 minutes ain't long enough
To be out your mind in a world so tough
If U wanna escape and truly be
All the crack in Compton won't set U free
Come on

{B-side of Partyman}

I've been diggin' U 4 such a long time
U don't even know that I'm alive
Something 'bout the way U walk just really blows my mind
Sorry but I'm sick of all this jive
Ok?

Let me touch your body baby
Let me feel U up
Come on baby, come on
Let me feel U up
Let me touch your body baby
Let me feel U up
Come on baby, come on
Let me feel U up

{B-side of Purple Rain}
In the beginning, there was God
He made the earth, and the heavens
He gave us light to rule the day
And another light to rule the night

The Lord, thy God
Made, He made the seas
He made the fruit upon the trees
When He saw, when He saw that it was good

He made a man, made a man
Only He could, only He could
God made u
God made me too
He made us all

{B-side of Arms Of Orion}
She took off her dress, and I took a peek
While thunder storm played hide and seek
I begged for a kiss, she gave me 7
Our lips touched and it feel like heaven

Everything I want is what she does to me
She don't blush 'cause she's so damned free
When she makin' love it's like surgery
And she say, ooh
I love U in me

I promised myself not to come until she does

{B-side of Delirious}
If I had your number
I'd call u on the phone
I'd breathe a little heavy [...] word maybe I'd start to groan

I don't love u
I'm just a horny toad

I don't want your money
'Cause I got all I need
All I want is to rub your body until u start to bleed

I don't love u
I'm just a horny toad

If I had your address
I'd come right 2 your door

Late at night, when the world is sleeping
U r frightened, 'cause the Power's creeping
In your room is something u're afraid of
Life or doom is what this feeling's made of

Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need

Minor G is the chord of pleasure
It will be played eleven measures
U will see fire, but u're cool as ice

Once upon a time in the land of fever, there lived a scarlet pussy
This kitty cat of fine descent, was cherished by her mother
Who wouldn't let another, pet her, unless he was qualified

Every 1st of the month this pretty feline got the hots
And that's when the neighborhood (D-d-dogs)
They'd line up around the block
Meow

When my little scarlet feline roars

Look'it here
(The lights go out)
The lights go out
The smell of doom
Is creepin' into your lonely room

The bed's on fire
Your fate is sealed
And you're so tired
And the reason is Camille-mille

Shockadelica
The girl must be a witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched

Shockadelica
You need a second opinion
But she never wears a stitch
So you can't take her home

Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care

'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time

This will be the day
That u will hear me say
That I will never run away

I am here for u
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what u're gonna do

If I gave u diamonds and pearls
Would u be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give u the world
But all I can do is just offer u my love

Which one of us is right
If we always fight

Here we are in this big old empty room, staring each other down
U want me just as much as I want U, let's stop fooling around
Take me baby... kiss me all over... play with my love
Bring out what's been in me for far too long
Baby, u know that's all I've been dreaming of
Do Me Baby, like u never done before
Give it to me till I just can't take no more
Do Me Baby, like u never done before

U don't have 2 be beautiful
2 turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
U don't need experience
2 turn me out
U just leave it all up 2 me
I'm gonna show u what it's all about
U don't have 2 be rich
2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool
2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your

Kiss

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright

I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
