Raspberry Beret Lyrics - Singles - Prince And The Revolution

Yeah 

I was working part time in a five-and-dime 

My boss was Mr. McGee 

He told me several times that he didn't like my kind 

'Cause I was a bit too leisurely 

Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing 

But different than the day before 

That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her 

She walked in through the out door, out door 

She wore a 

Raspberry beret 

The kind you find in a second hand store 

Raspberry beret 

And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more 

Raspberry beret 

I think I love her 

Built like she was 

She had the nerve to ask me 

If I planned to do her any harm 

So, look here 

I put her on the back of my bike 

And we went riding 

Down by old man Johnson's farm 

I said now, overcast days never turned me on 

But something about the clouds and her mixed 

She wasn't to bright 

But I could tell when she kissed me 

She knew how to get her kicks 

She wore a 

Raspberry beret 

The kind you find in a second hand store 

Raspberry beret 

And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more 

Raspberry beret 

I think I love her 

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof 

And the horses wonder who you are 

Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees 

You feel like a movie star 

Listen 

They say the first time ain't the greatest 

But I tell ya 

If I had the chance to do it all again 

I wouldn't change a stroke 

'Cause baby I'm the most 

With a girl as fine as she was then 

(Raspberry beret) 

The kind you find (The kind you find) 

The kind you find (In a second hand store) 

Oh no no 

(Raspberry beret) 

(And if it was warm) 

Where have all the raspberry women gone? 

Yeah (Raspberry beret) 

I think I, I think I, I think I love her 

(Raspberry beret) 

No no no 

No no no (The kind you find) 

(In a second hand store) 

(Raspberry beret) 

Tell me 

Where have all the raspberry women gone? (And if it was warm she) 

(Wouldn't wear much more) 

(Raspberry beret)
