Prince and the New Power Generation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got seven hours, baby
So what ya want to do?
(Ooh, I want to melt with you)
(Ooh, I want to melt with you)

This is safe sex (ooh, I want to melt with you)
New Power Generation style
A funky little story about you and me (ooh, I want to melt with you)
Getting busy for awhile
From the tip of my typhoon (ooh, I want to melt with you)
To the bottom of your ankle chains
We gonna shake and shake and shake
Until we're both deranged
With endorphins
This is the ultimate rave
Ooh, I want to melt with you
S to the S

Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips
In other words, get close enough to stick
And I'll melt with you
And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove until the earth moves
I want to melt with you, yeah

Don't look now, but there's a river of blood
You must have been a virgin
What am I guilty of? Oh no (oh no)
Are you afraid? Then take me to the next phase

Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips
In other words, get close enough to stick (oh yeah)
And I'll melt with you (melting)
And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove until the earth moves
I want to melt with you, yeah (hit me)

I'm thinkin' about the quivery ocean (ooh, I want to melt with you)
And drippin' all over your every motion
And thinkin' about the way that you kiss (I want to melt with you)
I'm thinkin' about some of this
And I'm thinkin' about some of that
And then my backbone slips (I want to melt with you)
And then my lips just drip
And then the hips (I want to melt with you)
Just whip
And whip and, ah, ow (I want to melt with you)

Uh, yeah, do that baby
Uh, yeah, do that baby
Uh, yeah, do that baby, uh, just like a dog
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with you)
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with you)

Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven)
I want to melt with you
And I'll melt with you
And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove
Until the earth moves (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven)

(Ooh)
(Ow)
Melting, melting, melting

Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips
In other words, get close enough to stick
And I'll melt with you




And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove until the earth moves
