Prince - All The Critics Love U In New York Lyrics






U can dance if U want 2 - All the critics love U in New York
U don't have 2 keep the beat, they'll still think it's neat - in New York
U can wear what U want 2, it doesn't matter - in New York
U could cut off all your hair, I don't think they'd care - in New York

All the critics love U in New York

Why U can play what U want 2 - All the critics love U in New York
They won't say that u're naive if U play what U believe - in New York
Purple love-amour is all u're headed 4 - but don't show it
The reason that you're cool
Is 'cuz you're from the old school, and they know it

All the critics love U in New York

U can dance if U want 2 - All the critics love U in New York
U can dance if U want 2 - All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U, all the critics love U
All the critics love U in New York

It's time 4 a new direction
It's time 4 jazz 2 die
4th day of November
We need a purple high

Don't give up - I'll still love U

All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U, all the critics love U
All the critics love U in New York

Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit
Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit
Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit
Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit

([fuck me over])

All the critics love U, all the critics love U
All the critics love U in New York

Whaddayou lookin' at, punk?
Look out all U hippies, U ain't as sharp as me
It ain't about the trippin', but the sexuality - turn it up

U can dance if U want 2

All the critics love U in New York

All the critics love U in New York

(Yes, we're certain of it, he's definitely masturbating)

All the critics love U in New York
Take a bath, hippies!
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
New York
New York
New York
New York
New York

    Bought this album in high school. I went to Eden Prairie High school. Prince lived in E.P too, at the time. My Mom was a bank teller and she waited on him once. She said he had two girls with him and she thought he was ugly!! Hahaha, I begged to differ!! True story bro!!

    P.... ....

    Looks like they need new vision lol. How or why Prince was ugly? He was absolutely stunning and beautiful to look at, he's eye candy! He was also a beautiful, lovely man on the inside, too. Loving, sweet, gentle, soft-spoken, warm yet charismatic guy I ever seen. He was a private Joy to us, no pun intended. ❤

    Also, I have a big crush on him too.

    P.... ....

    Emily Rose This was back in like 1982. He looked different then and he wasn't wearing makeup when she saw him. Who cares anyway. My Mom said it!

    @Gayle Cooper he not lying

  57. E.... A....

    Prince grinding the axe!!! A technical genius on the guitar!! Fuck Rolling Stone not a acknowledging his as one the greatest.

  58. J.... D....

    Pimp shit.

  59. S.... ....

    I used to sit and stare at every little detail of the album cover graphics on this 😎. Great memories forever. Started at 14 years old following him with the For You album.

  60. D.... ....

    I picture this song being played in New York Times Square during New Years Rocking Eve. I see all of Times Square dancing to this thru the cities speakers.💜

    D.... ....

    more like the loft in Nyc strictly. underground NY DJs played this

    D.... ....

    @Tracy Davis true that NY DJ Jimmy Jazz played this song while Rick James and Charlie Murphy walking around

    D.... ....

    When the year1999 came about I jammed this whole album on New Year's 99!

  61. B.... D....

    Many plays on my stereo 😚

    B.... D....

    And on my big old-skool boom box!! (Yes I carried it around on my shoulder - full blast in Minneapolis - back in the day, lol.)

  62. r.... a....

    Definitely masterbating.

    r.... a....

    HAHAA! Love that imitation of a cop's voice he uses. Hilarious.

  63. r.... a....

    The album before he went mainstream.

    r.... a....

    My sentiments, exactly...Still had a strong R& B vibe!

    r.... a....

    ramone alszone This album was his introduction to the main stream, and Purple Rain solidified it

    r.... a....

    He never was mainstream. He always followed his own path.

  64. r.... a....

    Herald square.

  65. A.... B....

    J adore cet album ! Super ! Prince nous manque.

    A.... B....

    What does that mean, Angel ?

    A.... B....

    moi aussi angelique rip

  66. E.... A....

  68. n.... e....

    Linn drum was smoking after this session.

  69. f.... w....

    1999 Is Another Favorite Album 😍😘😃🎧🎤🎵🎶💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

  70. c.... s....

    Always thought this song was so Offbeat & So Sexy never really got the Kudos it should have

  71. I.... S....

    good song to chill back to in the back of a 1984 truck.

  72. p.... t....

    Hello all u purple hippies! #4thdayofnovember

  73. D.... T....

    man this is from the early 80s folks. THE EARLY EIGHTIES. it has all basic techno and electro house in it. i right on bought it after a fellow jazz musician then told its da bomb, give it a try, though he knew i was diehard into jazz and maybe some hendrix and so...after i heard the album i was sure that prince was a genius and i bought evrything made by prince since then^^.

  74. J.... T....

    It's time 4 new direction, it's time 4 jazz to die,
    4th day of November, we need a purple high...

    J.... T....

    James Taylor ❤️

    J.... T....

    4 th day of november is when he started his tour.

  75. G.... T....

    eye love this groove, scintillating rhythm, I agree 1999 the double vinyl album, preceded Purple Rain and genius revealed, since Dirty Mind "Head" etc...and of course "I wanna be your lover" the Shimmering and Undulating bass and drum groove of All TIME!! IMHO.

  76. M.... H....

    THE REASON THAT YOUR COOL IS THAT YOUR FROM THE OLD SKOOL AND THEY NO IT..GANGSTA , GENIUS

  77. B.... W....

    Another Trowback Classic Prince Hit!😎😎😎

  83. K.... W....

    Prince's All The Critics Love You In New York song is a nice jam. 1999 album is a classic. Album cover sucks LOL. I like the album sleeve pictures. RIP Prince.

    K.... W....

    Keith Witcher don't judge an album by its cover. Duh!

    K.... W....

    💜I love this album cover. There are so many things going on in it.💜🎸💜🎤💜🎹💜

    K.... W....

    @ramone alszone to my opinion, it's still ugly though to me. Sorry, but I love the songs inside.

    K.... W....

    The songs are beautiful, but the album cover is ugly.
