When U Love Somebody Lyrics - Prince

I was the one sleepin' all alone 

When you were at the party 

I was the one waitin' by the phone 

When you were with somebody 

Now here you come again with your heart in your hands 

Confessin' all of your sins, yeah 

The same tired line that I've heard a dozen times 

But still I've got 2 give in 

'Cause when U love somebody 

Every now and then it might rain 

When you love somebody 

With every sun shower there's pain

Whenever something's lost 

Something's gained 

When U love somebody 

When U love someone 

You were the one lookin' for some action 

I was just lookin' for you 

Who needs love when you got protection 

Quote, unquote your point of view 

All my partners say that I need to dismiss ya 

Until they see you smile 

(Such a pretty smile) 

All them fools are buggin' 'cause they just want your lovin' 

In the backseat, huh, for a little while 

(But I don't care) 

'Cause when U love somebody 

Every now and then it might rain 

When you love somebody 

With every sun shower there's pain 

Photos 

Whenever something's lost 

Something's gained 

When U love somebody 

When U love someone 

(When U love somebody, might rain) 

Yeah, yeah 

Check me out on the floor 

So what you got me open 

Yeah, do your dance 

But I'm the one you're dancin' for 

And you know this 

Round and round, don't stop it 

And you know this, yeah, yeah 

Up and down, you got it 

'Cause when U love somebody 

(When U love somebody) 

Every now and then it might rain 

(Now and then it might rain) 

When U love somebody 

With every sun shower there's pain 

(Baby, a little pain, a little pain, yeah) 

Whenever something's lost, something's gained 

(Every now and then you got to think about what you gain) 

(Think you don't) 

When U love somebody 

(Yeah, when U love somebody) 

Every now and then it might rain 

(Might rain) 

When U love somebody 

(Pourin' down, down on me) 

With every sun shower there's pain 

(Come on, wet me rain) 

Whenever something's lost 

Something's gained 

(Something's gained) 

When U love somebody, yeah 

When U love somebody 

When U love somebody 

When U love somebody 

When U love somebody 

When U love somebody 

When U love somebody 

When U love somebody 

(So sweet, it's complete) 

Well 

(So nice, it's paradise) 

Round and round, don't stop it 

Round and round, don't stop the pounds 

'Cause a brutha gettin' down here lately 

Freedom agrees with us all, you see 

In a state of mind that's weightless 

See, on the quantum tip I flipped on the notion 

When the Adam split, we got Eve 

Duality's now a groupie with a backstage pass 

And they ain't gonna leave till they get some 

From grace we fall 

Referring to the objects on the wall 

I'd picture my hat, my coat, my balls 

Around and round, around and round 

(Round and round, round and round) 

Huh, don't stop the pounds 

(Don't stop the pounds) 

Yeah, 'cause a brutha gettin' down here lately
