Pink Cashmere
Prince Lyrics

Oh, oh
Expressing excitement or anticipation towards something.

Oh, here I go again
Starting to fall in love all over again.

Falling in love all over
Re-experiencing the feeling of falling in love.

Oh, the cycle never ends
The pattern of falling in and out of love is recurrent.

You just pray you don't get burned
Hopeful that the love does not end in heartbreak.

Oh, this fire inside of me
A passionate and intense desire for someone.

Don't nobody realize
No one understands the depth of those feelings.

Oh, what you are to me
The significance of the other person in one's life.

But baby you got to learn
The need for the other person to understand and reciprocate those feelings.

I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
Expressing love and affection by creating something special for the other person.

You got to know how I feel about you
The importance of the other person understanding and acknowledging the depth of one's feelings.

How I always want you near
The desire to be close to the other person at all times.

I'm counting every minute of every hour
Anticipating the return of the other person, and keeping track of time until then.

'Til you are here
Waiting eagerly for the other person's arrival.

Girl, can you understand
Asking the other person if they can comprehend the depth of one's love and desire.

I never used to go dancing
Reflecting on how one's feelings have changed since falling in love.

I was the kind of man who rather stay at home
Describing one's previous preference for staying at home instead of going out.

H-how much I miss you
Expressing longing and desire for the other person.

I want to jump for joy
Feeling elated and excited at the thought of being with the other person.

And thank hIm I'm not alone
Feeling grateful to have the other person in one's life.

Oh oh
Reiterating the sense of excitement and anticipation.

Hey, hey
An expression of greeting or excitement.

Here I go again
Re-experiencing the cycle of falling in love.

You pray you don't get burnt, awh
Expressing the hope that the love does not end in heartbreak.

Cashmere, baby, cashmere
Referring to the luxurious coat being made for the other person.

Yeah baby, baby, baby, baby
An expression of affection or endearment towards the other person.

I want to tell you a bedtime story baby
Expressing the desire to share something special or intimate with the other person.

About a girl (coat of pink cashmere)
Telling a story, perhaps one about the other person, as they work on the coat.

About a boy
Including oneself in the story being told.

And all their joy

So many things I'm gonna do
Looking forward to sharing experiences and building a life with the other person.

Can't you come to me? (Coat of pink cashmere)
Expressing the desire for physical closeness with the other person.

Can't you get to me?
Further expressing the longing for reunion with the other person.

I'm gonna make a little pretty pink coat of cashmere
Putting love and care into the creation of the coat for the other person.

I'm gonna count every second, every minute
Continuing to anticipate and count down the moments until seeing the other person again.

Each and every hour of every day
