Raspberry Beret
Íõ×Ó(Prince) Lyrics

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
I had a part-time job at a store that sold inexpensive items

My boss was mr. Mcgee
My boss was named Mr. McGee

He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
My boss repeatedly expressed his dislike for me and people like me

Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely
Because I wasn't working as hard as I should have been

Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing
It appeared that I was doing almost nothing productive

But different than the day before
But my actions were still somewhat unique compared to the previous day

That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
At that moment, I laid eyes on her for the first time

She walked in through the out door, out door
She entered through the wrong door, the one that's supposed to be used for exiting

She wore a Raspberry beret
She had a hat on her head that was raspberry in color

The kind you find in a second-hand store
A type of hat that you would typically find at a thrift store

And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
If the weather were hot, she wouldn't be wearing very much clothing

I think I love her
I believe that I have fallen for her

Built like she was
Although her body type was a certain way

She had the nerve 2 ask me
She was brave enough to inquire

If I planned 2 do her any harm
She inquired about whether I intended to hurt her

So, look here
Listen to me

I put her on the back of my bike
I gave her a ride on the back of my bicycle

And-a we went riding
And then we rode around together

Down by old man johnsons farm
We went to a farm owned by someone named Old Man Johnson

I said now, overcast days never turned me on
I stated that cloudy days weren't my preference

But something about the clouds and her mixed
However, something about the clouds in combination with being with her was appealing

She wasn't 2 bright
She wasn't very intelligent

But I could tell when she kissed me
When she kissed me, I realized that she was skilled in that way

She knew how 2 get her kicks
She had a way of having fun

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
The sound of rain hitting the roof of a barn was very soothing to hear

And the horses wonder who you are
The horses were curious about my presence

Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
The sound of thunder is so loud that it blocks what the flashes of lightning reveal

You feel like a movie star
It makes you feel like a celebrity

They say the first time ain't the greatest
The general consensus is that the first experience isn't always the best

But I tell ya
But I can assure you

If I had the chance 2 do it all again
If given the opportunity, I would repeat everything

I wouldn't change a stroke
I wouldn't alter anything

Cause baby I'm the most
Because I am the best

With a girl as fine as she was then
Being with a girl as beautiful as she was at the time

(raspberry beret)
(the hat she was wearing)

The kind you find (the kind you find)
A type of hat that is commonly found in thrift stores

(in a second-hand store)
(a place where second-hand goods are sold)

Oh no no
Oh, don't do that

(raspberry beret)
(the hat she was wearing)

Where have all the raspberry women gone?
Where have all the women who wear raspberry-colored clothing gone?

(she wouldn't wear much more)
(she wouldn't be wearing much clothing)

I think I love her
I believe that I have fallen for her

(no no no)
(absolutely not)

(the kind you find)
(a type of hat that is commonly found)

(in a second-hand store)
(a place where second-hand goods are sold)

(raspberry beret)
(the hat she was wearing)

Tell me
Please explain to me

Where have all the raspberry women gone?
Where have all the women who wear raspberry-colored clothing gone?

(and if it was warm she)
(if the temperature were high, she)

(wouldn't wear much more)
(would be wearing very little clothing)

(raspberry beret)
(the hat she was wearing)

I think I love...
I believe that I am in love...
