I was absolutely nuts about Prince in the 8o's, completely original and talented artist!



there is a story behind this one, I was in my early teens
 and not particularly enjoying my english class with my unadventurous english teacher. anyway we were told to write a poem and i just doodled the lyrics to this Prince song, assuming the teacher would know it was not mine! Next lesson he took me to one side and said he had read it out to his whole class as an example of wonderful poetry, when someone finally pointed out they were lyrics! lol! i mean i could never have written it and i'd scawled Prince all over the paper...poor man was so enbarrassed! true story!



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? (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 you're just like my mother (Maybe you'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

Anyway, as punishment he made me write an essay on the lyrics and why i liked them, and do a presentation to the class. which i did....something along the lines of he is the most horny thing on earth (gawd knows how i went on to do well academically! ) and to get my own back i included these fave songs too...and he was even more embarrassed! lol!





By the way as you prob know, Prince is really hot on removing his material from Youtube, so it may dissappear at any point, hence the separate thread so i can just delete the whole thing!
