Prince and the Revolution: Purple Rain (1984)

"Let's Go Crazy"

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 Instead of asking him how much of your time is left Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life Things are much harder than in the afterworld In this life You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down Go crazy - punch a higher floor

If u don't like the world you're living in Take a look around u At least u got friends

U see I called my old lady 4 a friendly word She picked up the phone Dropped it on the floor (Sex, sex) is all I heard

Are we gonna let de-elevator Bring us down Oh, no Let's Go!

Let's go crazy Let's get nuts Let's look 4 the purple banana 'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

We're all excited But we don't know why Maybe it's cuz We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do) What's it all 4 (What's it all 4) U better live now Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy Let's get nuts Look 4 the purple banana 'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby Let's get nuts Yeah Crazy

Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down Oh, no let's go! Go crazy

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy) Let's go, let's go Go Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright Will make everything go wrong Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill Hang tough children

He's coming He's coming Coming

Take me away! "Take Me With U"

I can't disguise the pounding of my heart It beats so strong It's in your eyes what can I say They turn me on

I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with u

Come on and touch the place in me That's calling out your name We want each other oh so much Why must we play this game?

Don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with u

I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion I don't care if we spend the night on the town All I want is 2 spend the night together All I want is 2 spend the night in your arms

To be around u is so-oh right You're sheer perfection (thank u) Drive me crazy, drive me all night Just don't break up the connection

I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with u

I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with u

Just take me with u Oh won't u take me with u Honey take me with u "The Beautiful Ones"

Baby, baby, baby What's it gonna be Baby, baby, baby Is it him or is it me? Don't make me waste my time Don't make me lose my mind baby

Baby, baby, baby Can't u stay with me tonight Oh baby, baby, baby Don't my kisses please u right U were so hard 2 find The beautiful ones, they hurt u everytime

Paint a perfect picture Bring 2 life a vision in one's mind The beautiful ones Always smash the picture Always everytime

If I told u baby That I was in love with u Oh baby, baby, baby If we got married Would that be cool?

U make me so confused The beautiful ones U always seem 2 lose

Wendy? Yes Lisa Is the water warm enough? Yes Lisa Shall we begin? Yes Lisa

Where is my love life? Where can it be? There must be something wrong with the machinery

Where is my love life? Tell me, tell me Where has it gone? Somebody please please tell me what the hell is wrong

Until I find the righteous 1 Computer blue Until I find the righteous 1 Computer blue "Darling Nikki"

I knew a girl named Nikki I guess u could say she was a sex fiend I met her in a hotel lobby Masturbating with a magazine She said how'd u like 2 waste some time And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind

She took me 2 her castle And I just couldn't believe my eyes She had so many devices Everything that money could buy She said sign your name on the dotted line The lights went out And Nikki started 2 grind

Nikki

The castle started spinning Or maybe it was my brain I can't tell u what she did 2 me But my body will never be the same Her lovin' will kick your behind Oh, she'll show u no mercy But she'll sho'nuff sho'nuff show u how 2 grind

Darlin' Nikki

Woke up the next morning Nikki wasn't there I looked all over and all I found Was a phone unmber on the stairs It said thank u 4 a funky time Call me up whenever u want 2 grind

Oh, Nikki, ohhhh

Come back Nikki, come back Your dirty little Prince Wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

[backwards at the end...] "Hello, how r u? I'm fine. 'cause I know That the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon." "When Doves Cry"

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 Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry

Touch if u will my stomach Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase u Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing? Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold) Maybe I'm just 2 demanding Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry

How can u just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold?

When doves cry When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry) When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

Don't Cry (Don't Cry)

When doves cry When doves cry When doves cry

When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry Don't cry Darling don't cry Don't cry Don't cry Don't don't cry "I Would Die 4 U"
