Alphabet St.
Prince (The Artist) Lyrics

I'm going down to Alphabet Street
I'm heading towards a place where letters are organized into words and sentences

I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm going to give great attention and affection to the first girl I see

I'm gonna talk so sexy
I'm planning to use a seductive language while communicating

She'll want me from my head to my feet
My communication style will make her desire me physically and mentally

I'm gonna drive my daddy's Thunderbird (My daddy's Thunderbird)
I will be using my dad's vintage Thunderbird car to attract my companion

A white rad ride, '66 ('67) so glam it's absurd
It is a beautiful, glamorous automobile which is absurd in its level of style

I'm gonna put her in the back seat
I plan to make her feel comfortable by placing her in the back seat

And drive her to Tennessee
We will travel to Tennessee, the place of great music

Excuse me, baby
I'm sorry but

I don't mean to be rude
I don't want to be impolite

But I guess tonight I'm just not, I'm just not in the mood
I am just not feeling the desire to do anything tonight

So if you don't mind (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Would you be okay if

I would like to watch
I would prefer to just observe and not actively participate

We're going down, down, down, if that's the only way
If the only way to make this cruel world hear us is to move downward, we'll do it

To make this cruel, cruel world hear what we've got to say
We need to communicate our message to the cruel world

Put the right letters together and make a better day
We can make this world a better place by arranging the correct letters

Maybe it's the only way
Perhaps this is the singular way to achieve our goal

Cat, we need you to rap
Cat, we require you to provide us with a speedy and rhythmic delivery of words

Don't give to us slow
Please don't deliver the words slowly

Cause we know you know
We understand that you possess the necessary skill

New power soul
A new form of energy that's derived from the soul

Gotta gotta gotta go!
We need to move at a fast pace!

Talk to me lover
Communicate with me, my love

Come on tell me what you taste
Tell me about your experiences and preferences

Didn't your mama tell you
Didn't your mother inform you

Life is to good to waste? (Put your love down)
Life shouldn't be squandered and is meant to be cherished

Didn't she tell you
Didn't she impart to you

That Lovesexy was the glam of them all?
Lovesexy is the most stylish of them all

If you can hang, you can trip on it
If you're capable of keeping up, you'll enjoy it

You surely won't fall (Put your love down)
You won't fail if you love and trust the experience

No side effects and
There are no adverse reactions, and

The feeling last for-ever
The sensation persists indefinitely

Straight up it tastes good
It's delicious and enjoyable when administered directly

It makes you feel clever (Put your love down)
It leaves you feeling smart and confident

You kiss your enemies
You embrace those who were your foes

Like you know you should
As you're meant to

Then you jerk your body
You need to move your body in a particular way

Like a horny pony would (Put your love down)
Like a lustful pony

Now run and tell your mama about that!
Go and inform your mother about this!

And while you're at it tell your papa about this
Also, inform your dad of this

Put your love down there when you want to get shot
Be cautious in expressing your emotions in that area if you don't want to get hurt

No! (Yeah, yeah)
I disagree!

Put your love down there when you want to get shot
Putting your feelings on display could lead to being wounded

Put your love down there
Suppress your romantic inclinations

Get home, Alphabet Street
Return to where letters come together to form communication

No!
I disagree!

L-L-L-L-Lovesexy
A term for describing an attractive and engaging love experience

Yea, oh, Alphabet Street
Yes, oh, location of communicative symbols

A B C D E F H I love you
A confession of love in the form of letters
