Prince - Do U Lie? Lyrics






(Les enfants qui mentent ne vont pas au paradis)
[Translated: The children who lie don't go to paradise]

(Ok) Ok, Merci

When I lie awake in my boudoir I think of u dear
Do u think of me, or do u lie, do u lie?
When I'm in a sad and lonely mood dear, I cry 4 u dear (I cry 4 u)
Do you cry 4 me, do u cry, do u cry?

When I need someone 2 talk 2, u're not around
When I need another human's touch, I wear a frown
'cause u're uptown
Going down, going down, going down

I, I, I don't lie to u (i i don't lie)
When I say that I'm in love mama (mama, mama)
I feel so good when u're near (mama, mama)
Tell me do u feel it 2
Do u lie, do u lie? (or do u cry)
Do u cry from the inside out dear
Or are they only artificial tears? (artificial tears)
Do u really mean it when u cry,
When u cry, when u cry?

When I need someone 2 talk 2, (do u lie)
u're not around (u're not around)
u're not around (I wear a frown)
When I need (tell me why)
another human's touch,
I wear a frown (tell me why u wanna go)
Cause u're uptown (and leave me all alone)

Going down, going down, going down (goin' down)
Going down, going down, going down (down, down, down)
Going down, going down, going down (down, down, down)

When I lie awake in my boudoir (I think of u)
I think of u dear (do u)
Do y'all think of me,
Or do u lie, do u lie?

    Ahhhhhh..(where's Mary)...

    D.... V....

    @Starr Company Alright cousin 😂😂😂 Don't care what they say, that movie was genius. The thought to roll it out in Black and White still puts a smile on my face.
    When y'all gonna get jobs, I got a job it's a dishonest one nevertheless 😎

    D.... V....

    @Dark Vader Lmao omg is that what he said???Oh shit I knew he said dishonest after he said when y'all going to get jobs but I never knew what he said after he said dishonest! Wow movie was briallant! I know every word of it and would play the movie in my house daily

    D.... V....

    @Starr Company My daughter who is 26 now loves Prince.

    Whenever she's comes and visit the first thing she says is dad have Under the Cherry moon ready.😎

    my son-in-law he said I created a monster with he liking Prince, drives him crazy. lol
    He's into rap, and there's nothing wrong with that. But as Prince would say, "open your mind, feel the glory". Taken from the song,. _I will_

    Makes my eyes water evertime Tricky says damn Chris, damn.
    Haunts me sometimes, because was Prince trying to tell us something?
    Love and Death?

  33. J.... S....

    Wow! Love the variety of vocal key changes in this song

  34. A.... R....

  36. D.... M....

    saw an interview with Cee Loo Green where he said this was one of his fav Prince songs. immediately I thought he's a real fan because most people would be unaware of this song.

    D.... M....

    Yep the true fans know all the great stuff that the mainstream never hears!

    D.... M....

    UGGGGGH! You people and this elitist "real fan" bullshit. SMH.

    D.... M....

    K.... L....

    "Lying children don't go to heaven."

  38. Z.... E....

    One of his greatest songs

  39. R.... H....

    When I need someone 2 talk 2, ur not around....when I need another humans touch, I wear a frown."

    What I loved most about Prince, was his ability to be playful and whimsical during this era, he was so free-spirited. No rhyme or reason, whatever he was feeling, we got it in the music. Raw and honest emotion.

    W.... W....

    So true. He was unafraid to take risks and was always evolving. Musical genius!!
