Prince Follow

How long U been waitin'?

Well, I hope I can make it up 2 U

Give us a minute 2 get tuned up

He liked 2 frequent this club down upon 36th

Pimps and thangs like 2 hang outside, cuss 4 kicks

Talking 2 no one in particular, they say - "The baddest I am 2night"

4 letter words will not be heard, not up on this stage 2night

All the poets and the part-time singers always hang inside

Live music from a band plays a song called "Soul Psychodelicide"

Y'all wait a minute, wait a minute

Live music kickin' from the band, they singin': ("Soul Psychodelicide")

I like that

The song's a year long and had been playing 4 months

When he walked into the place

No one seemed 2 care

An introverted, "This is it," look on most of their faces

Talking about U, huh

2 words falling between the drops and the moans of his condition

I wanna hear Maceo Parker play "Joy In Repetition"

U 'bout 2 hear Candy Dulfer play "Joy In Repetition"

U 'bout 2 hear, hah, Larry Graham play "Joy In Repetition"

Oh, U 'bout hear Prince play "Joy In Repetition"

Turn it up, John

Up on the mic repeatin' 2 words over and over again

Was this woman he had never noticed before

He lost himself in the articulated manner in which she said them, huh

These 2 words - little bit behind the beat

Mean just enough 2 turn U on

Every time she said the words

Another one of his doubts were gone

Should he try 2 rap 2 her?

Should he stand and stare?

(No one else was watching her)

She... (Didn't seem 2 care)

And so (over and over she said the words) she said the words

Till he could take no more

He dragged her from the stage

2gether they ran through the back door, ha

In the alley over by the curb he said - "Tell me, what's your name?"

She only said the words again, what?

And it started 2 rain (Rain, rain, rain)

2 words falling between the drops and the moans of his condition

Holding someone is truly believing, say it, there's (Joy in repetition)

Think it ain't? Say it (There's joy in repetition)

(There's joy in repetition) {x8} (Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

She said - "Love me", huh

2 words, say it now (Love me)

Hmm, whatcha say baby? Say it one more time (Love me)

Hey yeah, oh Lord (Love me)
