Prince - Joy In Repetition Lyrics
{crowd noise same as for alphabet street}He like to frequent this club down up on 36thPimps and thangs like 2 hang outside and cuss for kicksTalking 2 no one in particular, they say the baddest I am tonight4 letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite.All the poets and the part time singers always hang insideLive music from a band plays a song called soul psychodelicide.The songs a year long and had been playing 4 months when heWalked into the place.No one seemed to care, an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces.Up on the mic repeating 2 words, over and over againWas this woman he had never noticed before he lost himself in theArticulated manner in which she said them.These 2 words, a little bit behind the beat.I mean just enough 2 turn u on.4 everytime she said the words another one of his doubts were gone.Should he try 2 rap with her? should he stand and stare?No one else was watching her, she didnt seem 2 care.So over and over, she said the words til he could take no more, (no more)He dragged her from the stage and together they ran through the back doorIn the alley over by the curb he said tell me whats your nameShe only said the words again and it started to rain (rain, rain, rain)2 words falling between the drops and the moans of his conditionHolding someone is truly believing theres joy in repetition.Theres joy in repetition.Theres joy in repetition.Theres joy in repetition.Theres joy in repetition.She said love me, love me, what she say?She say love me, love me.Joy, why dont u love me baby, joy, why cant u love me babyJoy, come on and love me baby, joy in repetitionAlright, joy in repetition,Alright, joy in repetition,Alright, joy in repetition,Alright, joy, all my wishes add up to oneLove me, joy, love me, joy, love me, joyLove me, love me, joy, joy, joy in repetitionJoy, joy in repetition,Joy, joy (love me) in repetition,Love me, love, joy, joy, joy in repetitionJoy, and Im gonna say it again, joy, joy, and Im gonna say it again,Joy, Id like 2 go way up high and say, love me, joyIll say love me, joyJoy, joy in repetition, joy in repetitionTheres joy in repetition
