Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were on you're way to be wed
You were such a sexy thing
I loved the way you walked, the things you said
And I was so nonchalant, I didn't want you to be misled
But I've gotta have you, baby, got to have you in my bed
And you said
"But I just a virgin and I'm on my way to be wed
Till you're burning up
Head
Till you get enough
Head
Till your love is red
Head
Love you til you're dead
You know you're good, girl
I think you like to go down
You wouldn't have stopped but I, I came on your wedding gown
And you said, "I must confess I want to get undressed and go to bed"
With that I jammed, you fool you married me instead
Now morning, noon, and night I give you head
Till you're burning up
Head
Till you get enough
Head
Till your love is red
Head
Love you til you're dead
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Head

Prince/Lisa Coleman's song "Head" is a controversial and sexually charged piece that speaks of a man's desire for a woman who is about to be wed. The song centers on the singer's encounter with a woman whom he finds extremely attractive. The woman discloses that she is on her way to her wedding but is willing to give the singer "Head" until he is satisfied.
The first verse shows the singer's fascination with the woman's sensuality and how it captures his attention. The woman discloses that she is a virgin and is about to be wed but is willing to fulfill the singer's desires. The man, who initially tries to resist her sexual advances, ultimately ends up being with her after she agrees to give him head. The chorus emphasizes how the man is overly satisfied with the sexual encounter he has with the woman.
The second verse of the song reflects how the singer is now married to the woman, and he gives her head every morning, afternoon, and night. The chorus is repeated to emphasize his satisfaction with their sexual relationship.
"Head" was a track Prince recorded alone in the studio with Coleman. A combination of funky bass lines and hard-rock guitar with lyrics that tell the story of seduction, the song can be considered a milestone for R&B music contemporary with sentimental ballads or easy listening tunes. It also redefined Prince as a renegade out to push the boundaries of censorship.

There has never been another Prince and never will be. He was and will always be unrivaled!

@Steve I completely agree that vocals were NOT his strong point, but when it comes to song lyrics, playing of instruments, dancing, advocating for artis rights of ownership, production of music.. Not to many (if any) can compare! Again you are correct about his vocals..
So for me there's no need to cry because I also am a realist
Steve
@Pharoah Miller Justine Bieber or however it's spelled is the better vocalist. And it's really not even close. The fact is, vocals were not Prince's strong point, most singers were/are better than he was. Long time Prince fan but also a realist. Too many of Prince's fans a actually delusional FANBOYS. Cry if it helps. Lol

@Vinsmoke Sanji I know that & you know that Justin Biber is NOWHERE near the level Prince.. I was obviously JOKING about what I said
Vinsmoke Sanji
@Pharoah Miller bro.. His every song is garbage (except never say never)
