Joy In Repetition Lyrics - Music From Graffiti Bridge [explicit] - Prince

{crowd noise same as for "Alphabet Street"} 

He like to frequent this club down up on 36th 

Pimps and thangs like 2 hang outside and cuss for kicks 

Talking 2 no one in particular, they say "the baddest I am tonight" 

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 to care, an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces. 

Up on the mic repeating 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, 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 didn't 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 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 to 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. 

There's joy in repetition. 

There's joy in repetition. 

She said love me, love me, what she say? 

she say love me, love me. 

Joy, why don't u love me baby, joy, why can't u love me baby 

joy, come on and love me baby, joy in repetition 

Alright, joy in repetition, 

Alright, joy in repetition, 

Alright, joy in repetition, 

Alright, joy, all my wishes add up to one 

Love me, joy, Love me, joy, Love me, joy 

Love me, Love me, joy, joy, joy in repetition 

joy, joy in repetition, 

joy, joy (love me) in repetition, 

Love me, love, joy, joy, joy in repetition 

joy, and I'm gonna say it again, joy, joy, and I'm gonna say it again, 

joy, I'd like 2 go way up high and say, Love me, joy 

I'll say Love me, joy 

Joy, joy in repetition, joy in repetition 

There's joy in repetition
