Adore
Prince Lyrics

Baby, yes
Affirmation and agreement that the subject is desired

Until the end of time
Promise of commitment to the subject forever

I'll be there for you
Promise of emotional and physical support

You own my heart and mind
The subject has complete control and influence over the artist's thoughts and emotions

I truly adore you
The artist has a deep and meaningful love for the subject

If God one day stroke me blind
Even if the singer were to lose their sight, they would still be able to perceive and appreciate the subject's beauty

Your beauty I'd still see
The subject's beauty is not just physical, but also felt on a deeper level

Love is to weak to define
Love transcends language and is felt beyond any explanation

Just what you mean to me
The subject's value and significance to the artist cannot be fully expressed in words

From the first moment I saw you
The artist's attraction to the subject was instantaneous

Oh, I knew you where the one
The subject is the one the singer desires above all others

That night I had to call you
The artist felt compelled to contact the subject after they first met

I was rapping till the sun came up
The singer was passionately expressing themselves to the subject through music and words

Telling you just how fine you look
The singer was expressing their physical attraction to the subject

In a word, you were sex
The subject was the epitome of sexual desire for the singer

All of my cool attitude you took
The subject's presence made the artist lose their composure

My body was next
The artist's physical desire for the subject intensified

You made love to me
The subject was intimate with the singer

Like you where afraid
The subject was hesitant or nervous during the sexual encounter

Was you afraid of me?
The artist is questioning the subject's behavior during the sexual encounter

Was I the first?
The artist is questioning whether or not they were the subject's first sexual partner

Was I your every fantasy?
The artist is asking if they fulfilled all of the subject's desires

When we be making love
The singer is referring to the act of sex between themselves and the subject

I only hear the sounds
The artist is fully engrossed in the intimacy of the moment

Heavenly angels crying up above
The singer feels a spiritual connection during the sexual encounter

Tears of joy pouring down on us
The singer and subject are experiencing a profound and intense emotional connection

They know we need each other
Even divine beings recognize the importance of the singer and subject being together

They know you are my fix
The subject is like a drug to the artist, satisfying their needs and desires

I know, that you know that I ain't cheating baby
The artist is reassuring the subject of their loyalty and fidelity

They know this is serious
Even divine beings recognize the weight and importance of the connection between the singer and subject

I ain't funking just for kicks, no
The singer is not engaging in this relationship for casual or shallow reasons

This condition I got is crucial, crucial baby
The artist's feelings for the subject are urgent and imperative

You could say that I'm a terminal case
The artist's love for the subject is so strong that they cannot imagine living without them

You could burn up my clothes
The artist is so devoted to the subject that they do not care about material possessions

Smash up my ride, well maybe not the ride
The singer acknowledges that their material possessions are not as important as their love for the subject

But I got to have your face
The artist needs the presence and appearance of the subject in their life

All up in the place
The subject is an integral part of the singer's life and surroundings

I'd like to think that I'm a man of exquisite taste
The singer considers themselves to have high standards and good judgement

A hundred percent Italian silk imported Egyptian lace
The singer values luxury and quality

But nothing baby, I said nothing baby could compare
The subject is the most valuable and important thing in the artist's life

To your lovely face
The subject's appearance is the most beautiful thing the artist has ever seen

Do you know what I'm saying to ya this evening
The singer wants to express their feelings to the subject in the clearest way possible

I'm just trying to say
The singer is attempting to communicate how deeply they feel for the subject

That until, until the end of time
Reiteration of the artist's promise of commitment to the subject

I'll be there for you
Reiteration of the artist's promise of emotional and physical support

On my heart, on my mind, (truly adore you)
The subject holds a special place in the artist's thoughts and emotions

Darling
A term of endearment for the subject

You don't know what you're mean to me
The subject is so important to the artist that they cannot express the depth of their feelings

Can I talk to you?
The singer wants to express their feelings to the subject

Tell you what you mean to me
The singer wants to express the value and significance of the subject in their life

Every time you wander (until the end of time)
The singer promises to always be there for the subject, no matter what

I'll be your eyes so you can see
The artist will support and guide the subject, even in difficult times

I want to show you things
The artist wants to share meaningful experiences with the subject

That I show no other, I want to be
The singer wants to be the subject's exclusive source of happiness and fulfillment

More than, more than your mother
The singer wants to be the subject's ultimate source of love and support

More than your brother
The artist wants to be the closest and most trusted person in the subject's life

I want to be (like no) like no other
The artist wants to be completely unique and special to the subject

If you need me, I'll never leave
The artist promises to always be present and supportive for the subject

I know, that you know, without you there is no me
The subject is so vital to the singer's wellbeing that they could not imagine life without them

There is no me
The artist's sense of identity is intertwined with the subject's presence in their life

Without you there is no sea
The subject is so important to the singer that they feel the entire world would be incomplete without them

There is no shore
The subject is what gives the singer's life meaning and purpose

Love is to weak to define how much I adore
The singer's love for the subject is indescribable

You, child
A term of endearment for the subject

The last words you hear
The artist's love and devotion for the subject will endure forever

Be with me darling till the end of time (until the end of time)
Reiteration of the singer's promise of commitment to the subject

I'll give you my heart
The singer is offering their love and devotion to the subject

I'll give you my mind
The artist is offering their thoughts and emotions to the subject

I'll give you my body (until the end of time)
The artist is offering their physical self and intimacy to the subject

I'll give you my time (until the end of time)
The artist is offering their time and presence to the subject

For all time I am with you
The singer's commitment to the subject is eternal

You are with me (until the end of time)
The subject and speaker will always be together and connected, even after death

You are with me, you are with me
Reiteration of the subject and speaker's eternal connection
