Prince - Joy In Repetition lyrics

How long U been waitin'?

Well, I hope I can make it up 2 U

Give us a minute 2 get tuned up

He liked 2 frequent this club down upon 36th

Pimps and thangs like 2 hang outside, cuss 4 kicks

My name is Andre Crabtree the third

Talking 2 no one in particular, they say - "The baddest I am 2night"

4 letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite

All the poets and the part-time singers always hang inside

Live music from a band plays a song called "Soul Psychodelicide"

The song's a year long and had been playing 4 months

When he walked into the place

No one seemed 2 care

An introverted, "This is it," look on most of their faces

Up on the mic repeatin' 2 words over and over again

Was this woman he had never noticed before

He lost himself in the articulated manner in which she said them

These 2 words - little bit behind the beat

I Mean just enough 2 turn U on

For every time she said the words

Another one of his doubts were gone

Should he try 2 rap 2 her?

Should he stand and stare?

(No one else was watching her)

She... (Didn't seem 2 care)

So (over and over she said the words) she said the words

Till he could take no more

He dragged her from the stage

2gether they ran through the back door

In the alley over by the curb he said - "Tell me, what's your name?"

She only said the words again

And it started 2 rain (Rain, rain, rain)

2 words falling between the drops and the moans of his condition

Holding someone is truly believing, there's (Joy in repetition)

(There's joy in repetition)

(There's joy in repetition) {x8}

(Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

She said - "Love me", huh

2 words, say it now (Love me)

Hmm, whatcha say? (Love me)

Hey yeah, oh Lord (Love me)
