Girls and boys

He only knew her for a little while
But he had grown accustomed to her style
She had the cutest ass he'd ever seen
He did to, they were meant to be
They loved to kiss on the steps of versailles
It looked like rain, mama, birds do fly
I love you baby, I love you so much
Maybe we can stay in touch
Meet me in another world, space and joy
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama, girls and boys

He gave her all the love that anyone can
But she was promised to another man
He tried so hard not to go insane
Birds do fly, looks like rain
I love you baby, I love you so much
Maybe we can stay in touch
Meet me in another world, space and joy
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama, girls and boys

Life is precious baby, love is so rare
I can take the breakup if you say that you care
He had to run away, his pride was to strong
It started raining, baby, the birds were gone
(I love you baby, I love you so much)
Maybe (maybe we can stay in touch)
Meet me in another world (meet me in another world, space and joy)
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle (vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama)
Girls and boys (girls and boys)

(I love you baby, I love you so much)
I want you, babe
Maybe we can stay in touch)
Maybe we can play today
(Meet me in another world, space and joy)
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle (vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama)
Girls and boys (girls and boys)

Vous Γ©tiez de l'autre cΓ΄tΓ© de la salle
Vous dansiez si fort
Je sentais votre parfum
Votre sourire me dit que nous devrions nous parler
Sur la piste de danse, baby
Fais cet appel pour moi, oh, oui, baby
Sexe et repos, baby, rΓ©sistez pas
Je sais, c'est vrai que vous aimerez Γ§a
Baby, ah, oh
Je vous enlacerai avec mes jambes, baby
Pendant des heures je vais vous Γ©tonner, baby
Fleur dans votre bain, amour dans vos draps
Faire l'amour, faire l'amour
Nous nous rencontrerons, bon, bon?

I love you baby, I love you so much
Maybe we can stay in touch
Meet me in another world, space and joy,
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama, girls and boys

(I love you baby)
I want you baby (I love you so much)
I want you so much (maybe we can stay in touch)
Maybe, maybe we can stay in touch
(meet me in another world, space and joy)
Another world, space (vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle)
Lips, face (mama, girls and boys)

Happiness in it's uncut form
Is the feeling that I get, you're warm, warm
Happy's what I get when we do what we do
Happiness, mama, is being with you
Good lord

Meet me somewhere after dawn
Lord uh
I love you baby, I love you so much
Maybe we can stay in touch
I love you baby, I love you so much

Vous Γͺtes with it, stay in touch
(Maybe we can stay in touch) so like I saw you from across the room, and
(Maybe we can stay in touch) honey, you danced so hard I smelled your perfume
(Maybe we can stay in touch) and the look on your lips said that a,
(Maybe we can stay in touch) we could talk some more on this dance floor baby
Hear the words I'm saying feel the sex I'm laying (I love you baby, I love you so much)
Naughty's what I want to be with you tonight (maybe we can stay in touch)
Tonight
(Meet me in another world, space and joy)
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama, girls and boys
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama, girls and boys
Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama, girls and boys




Vous Γͺtes trΓ¨s belle, mama, girls and boys
Girls and boys

Overall Meaning

The song Girls and Boys by Prince and The Revolution is a playful love song that describes a brief encounter between two people who feel a strong attraction towards each other. The lyrics suggest that the singer has fallen for a woman who is promised to another man, but he finds it hard to resist her charm and beautiful appearance. The chorus of the song is an invitation to the girls and boys to come together and let love take over their lives.


In the first verse, the singer expresses his admiration for the woman's physical attributes, especially her cute ass. He is so smitten by her that he suggests they should meet in another world, where they could be together without any obstacles. The second verse reveals that the woman is already engaged to someone else, but the singer cannot help but give her all the love he can. He is ready to accept the breakup if she promises to care for him.


The song's bridge is sung entirely in French, a language that Prince was known to be enamored with. The lyrics translate to "You were on the other side of the room. You danced so hard. I smelled your perfume. Your smile said we should talk. On the dance floor, baby, make that call for me. Oh, yes, baby. Sex and rest, baby, don't resist. I know it's true that you'll love it. Baby, ah, oh. I'll embrace you with my legs, baby. For hours, I'll amaze you, baby. Flowers in your bath, love in your sheets. Making love, making love. We'll meet again, right?"

@richardlafette

No - Bowie was. Prince was the Ravel.

@achosenvessel6563

richard lafferty: Bowie was nowhere near as talented as Prince......Prince could do it all.

@christophertracy7272

Yep, that the truth. Even Eric Clapton said that if U want a better guitar player ask Prince!
