Kiss
The Prince Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hands on your hips as we dig
Now I'm trying to steal a kiss from your lips
I can't quit
Love is in the air
It's not fair
When you moving
Diamonds in your hair
Catch the glare like a jewel in a flash of light
And it feels like I've been waiting all my life
But I need you tonight yeah

I don't wanna wait
You can say I'm dumber in love
Blame it on my age
Maybe because I'm young that's enough
I don't wanna miss this
I just need kiss kiss
Oh oh

Sway to the music
Let's choose it
Don't you go away
Let the stay misbehave
Let your body go
With the flow of the moment
We can take a slow
With the motions, emotions are burning bright

And it feels like I've been waiting all my life
But I need you tonight yeah
I don't wanna wait
You can say I'm dumber in love
Blame it on my age
Maybe because I'm young that's enough
I don't wanna miss this
I just need kiss kiss
Oh oh

And it feels like I've been waiting all my life
But I need you tonight yeah

I don't wanna wait
You can say I'm dumber in love
Blame it on my age
Maybe because I'm young that's enough
I don't wanna miss this
I just need kiss kiss
Oh oh
I don't wanna wait
You can say I'm dumber in love
Blame it on my age
Maybe because I'm young that's enough
I don't wanna miss this
I just need kiss kiss
Oh oh





I just need kiss kiss
I just need kiss kiss

inspectorbudget Here are the lyrics, basically a silly argument skit. "
Woman overboard, everybody on the ground 
10 toes goin’ up, 10 toes goin’ down 
Got the gun pointin’ at ‘cha 
We’re never gonna cut our hair 
(Come here, let me cut that hair) No! 

Gotta, gotta 
(My body wanna tell U 2 take control) 
(This way 2 this purple soul) 

Oh, pretty mama, I think I wanna ride 
Sophie, 4 God’s sake
If U touch the television, I’ll kill U Sophie 

Sol, can U please change the channel 4 God’s sake? 
I don’t care, leave it alone, sit down! 
I can’t stand David Letterman, he looks like a banker 


U don’t have 2 watch Dynasty 2 have an attitude 
Leave it all up 2 me, my love will be, will be your food 
Everybody will have short hair 
Let’s cut it, mama! (Pretty mama) 
I think I wanna ride 
Put the daddy in the front seat, me and the girl outside 
I just want your extra time and your ..... kiss 

Oh my God, isn’t that Prince on television, Sol? {fade out} 
OK Sophie, it’s obvious 
No, wait a minute, I bought this television 
Why’d... why U ruin it 4 me 4 God’s sake? 
Is he the strangest lookin’ thing U’ve ever seen or what? 
U wanna talk strange Sophie? OK, let's talk strange 
Sol, don’t U touch that channel! 
Leave it alone, Sol! 
Sophie, U’re strange, I’m changin’ the channel 
Sol, do U... do U value your life? 
Sit down Sol!"

I don't understand how someone can be so feminine, so masculine and so sexy all at the same time.

@duprez2

Simple. Prince was a secret female-to-male transgender.
