“Here we are folksThe dream we all dream ofBoy versus girl in the World Series of loveTell me, have U got the look?”

“Oh yeahIn France a skinny manDied of a big disease with a little nameBy chance his girlfriend came across a needleAnd soon she did the sameAt home there are seventeen-year-old boysAnd their idea of funIs being in a gang called The DisciplesHigh on crack, totin' a machine gun.”

“Women not girls rule my worldI said they rule my worldAct your age, mama (not your shoe size)Not your shoe sizeMaybe we could do the twirlU don't have 2 watch Dynasty2 have an attitudeU just leave it all up 2 meMy love will be your foodYeah.U don't have 2 be rich2 be my girlU don't have 2 be cool2 rule my worldAin't no particular sign I'm more compatible withI just want your extra time and yourKiss.”

“Happiness in it's uncut formIs the feeling that I get, you're warm, warmHappy's what I get when we do what we doHappiness, mama, is being with uGood lord.”

“I want to live life to the ultimate high,Maybe I'll die young like heroes die,Maybe I'll kiss you some wild special way.If nobody kills me or thrills me soon,I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon.”

“Pop lifeEverybody needs a thrillPop lifeWe all got a space 2 fillPop lifeEverybody can't be on topBut life it ain't real funkyUnless it's got that popDig it.”

“I was workin' part-time in a 5-and-dime.My boss was Mr. McGee, huh.He told me several... timesThat he didn't like my kind cuz I was a bit 2 leisurely.It seems that I was busy doin' somethin' close 2 nothin',But different than the day beforeThat's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her,She walked in through the out door ...out door.She wore a raspberry beretThe kind U find in a second hand storeRaspberry beretAnd if it was warm she wouldn't wear much moreRaspberry beretI think I love her.”

“There is a park that is known4 the face it attractscolorful people whose hairOn 1 side is swept backThe smile on their facesIt speaks of profound inner peaceAsk where they're goingThey'll tell U nowhereThey've taken a lifetime leaseOn Paisley Park.”

“I never meant 2 cause u any sorrowI never meant 2 cause u any painI only wanted 2 one time see u laughingI only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain.”

“I'm not a woman;I'm not a 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.”

“How can U just leave me standing?Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)Maybe I'm just 2 demandingMaybe I'm just like my father, 2 boldMaybe you're just like my motherShe's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)Why do we scream at each other?This is what it sounds likeWhen doves cry.”

“Dig if U will the pictureOf 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.”

“I knew a girl named NikkiI guess U could say she was a sex fiendI met her in a hotellobbyMasturbating with a magazine.She said "How'd U like 2 waste some time?"And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind.”

“Dr. Everything'll Be Alright will make everything go wrongPills and thrills and daffodils will killHang tough children.”

“So when u call up that shrink in Beverly HillsU know the one - Dr Everything'll Be AlrightInstead of asking him how much of your time is leftAsk him how much of your mind, baby.'Cuz in this lifeThings are much harder than in the afterworldIn this life,You're on your own.”

“Dearly belovedWe are gathered here today2 get through this thing called life.Electric word lifeIt means forever and that's a mighty long timeBut I'm here 2 tell UThere's something else:The afterworld.A world of never ending happinessU can always see the sun, day or night.”

“I get delirious whenever you're nearLose all self-control, baby just can't steerWheels get locked in placeStupid look on my face.It comes 2 makin' a pass, pretty mamaI just can't win a race.”

“I guess I shoulda closed my eyesWhen U drove me 2 the placeWhere your horses run free.'Cuz I felt a little illWhen I saw all the picturesOf the jockeys that were there before me.Believe it or not,I started to worryI wondered if I had enough class.But it was Saturday nightI guess that makes it all rightAnd U say, "Baby, have U got enough gas?"”

“I was dreamin' when I wrote thisSo sue me if I go 2 fast.But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last.War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fightSo if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight.Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over,oops out of timeSo tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999.”
