Joy In Repetition

Prince

4

{"Alphabet St." segue}

He liked 2 frequent this club down up on 36th

Pimps and thangs like 2 hang outside and cuss 4 kicks (Did U see that?)

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

4 letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite

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

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

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

Up on the mic repeating 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

These 2 words - a little bit behind the beat

I mean just enough 2 turn U on

4 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

So over and over she said the words

Till he could take no more (No more)

He dragged her from the stage

And 2gether they ran through the back door

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

She only said the words again 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 that there's joy in repetition

There's joy in repetition {x4}

She said - "Love me, love me"

What she say? She said - "Love me, love me"

Joy in repetition {repeat till end}

Why don't U love me, baby?

Why can't U love me, baby?

Come on and love me, baby

Alright {x3}

All my wishes add up 2 one

Love me {repeat}

I wanna say it again

I think I wanna say it again

I'd like 2 go way up high and say - "Love me"

Ha ha, I'll say - "Love me"

"Love me"

There's joy in repetition
