Purple Rain

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 

U'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 U'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!

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 

U'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

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 UU  

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 



Baby, baby, 

Baby, baby, 

Baby, baby, 

Baby, 

What's it gonna be baby? 



Do U want him? 

Or do U want me? 

Cause I want U 

Said I want U 

Tell me, babe 

Do U want me? 

I gotta know, I gotta know 

Do U want me? 

Baby, baby, baby 

Listen 2 me 

I may not know where I'm going (babe) 

I said I may not know what I need 

One thing, one thing's 4 certain baby 

I know what I want, yeah 

and if it please U baby  

please U, baby 

I'm begging down on my knees 

I want U 

Yes I do 

Baby, baby, baby, baby 

I want U 



Yes I do

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

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 number 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."

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 U'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 

U'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 U'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? (A world that's so cold) 

Maybe I'm just 2 demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father) 

Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold (Ya know he's 2 bold) 

Maybe U're just like my mother (Maybe U're just like my mother) 

She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied) 

Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why) 

This is what it sounds like  



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'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 



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 U'll never comprehend 



No need 2 worry 

No need 2 cry 

I'm your messiah and U're the reason why 



'cuz U - I would die 4 U, yeah 

Darling if U want me 2 

U - I would die 4 U 



U're just a sinner I am told 

Be your fire when U're cold 

Make U happy when U're sad 

Make U good when U are bad 



I'm not a human 

I am a dove 

I'm your conscious  

I am love 

All I really need is 2 know that 

U believe  



Yeah, I would die 4 U, yeah 

Darling if U want me 2

"Like what the fuck do they know. 

All their taste is in their mouth. 

Really. What the fuck do they know? 

Come on baby. Let's go... crazy"
