Prince - Laydown Lyrics






Turn it up

You need to, you need to
You need to laydown
You need to, you need to
You need to laydown

You need to laydown
And let me show you how
We do this thing
Up in funky town

From the heart of Minnesota
Here come the purple Yoda
Guaranteed to bring the dirty new sound
Come on, now

You need to
You need to laydown
Come on

You need to
You need to laydown
I see ya

You need to shut it up
Your cup ain't full enough
Let me show you what I learned
From laying in the cut

You need a six string
And let that sucker ring
The holy funking roll
Let it get the people up

You need to laydown
You need to
You need to laydown

To say this name borders on blasphemy
Everybody wanna be me
If your girlfriend didn't have the surgery
Maybe she could see what I see

You need to, you need to
You need to laydown

You need to laydown
And let me show you how
We do this thing
Up in funky town

From the heart of Minnesota
Here come the purple Yoda
Guaranteed to bring the dirty new sound
Come on, now

Yours ain't really the grove we dance to
We need something more funky to move to
Y'all know what I'm talkin' 'bout
That purple bounce, bounce

Rio de Janeiro
Euro and [Incomprehensible]
This dirty little groove for you
Let's do it now, come on, boo

Bounce, bounce
Come on, now, come on, now
Bounce, bounce
Come on, now, come on, now

Bounce, bounce
Come on, now, come on, now
Bounce, bounce
Come on, now, come on, now

You need to laydown
And let me show you how
We do this thing
Up in funky town

From the heart of Minnesota
Here come the purple Yoda
Guaranteed to bring the dirty new sound
Let's go

  6. H.... J....

    Never be another like him.

  7. J.... B....

    CHRIST CAN MAKE YOU RUN!

  8. J.... B....

    OVER STEPPING CHRIST!

  9. T.... W....

    GOAT!!!

  10. C.... L....

    How did I never hear this before?? LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

  11. s.... ....

    I would have loved to hug him there, but that sequence 😧 would hurt. Eh, I would hug him anyway 🤗. Great performance ! Thanks for posting.

  12. L.... M....

    His second wife divorced him why ? She was nothing but a gold digger!

  13. J.... K....

    🌍❤️✨🙏😀🇳🇱

  14. m.... S....

    I still cry daily...... He is Beautiful, Loved, and Missed.

  15. d.... ....

    Love the way he humps his guitar! SCREAMING AND CREAMING right now!

  16. m.... h....

    I ran this video over and over again at the 38 to 39 second mark before Prince begins walking out, the smoke dissipates into a form of Prince with a guitar, I kid you not. Check it out. I thought it was the camera's at first.

  17. B.... O....

    This gave me chills, he was truly a legend

  18. b.... s....

    He worked this number. Fine ass man. Love him still and always until I leave as well. Thank God for blessing us with this beautiful genius. PURPLE MAJESTY

  22. M.... W....

    Damn, so sexy!!! 😍😍👅

  23. C.... M....

    The one and only Prince forever 🎸🎸🎸

  24. a.... ....

    Where is the other performance of him singing Your the one for me by D Train?

  25. H.... J....

    I don’t know why his parents didn’t call him king, cause he sure is one

  26. M.... P....

    pourquoi remplaçait - il John par cette perchée de sheila E ? le vampirisant et lui volant son jeu .?????

  27. A.... F....

    He had a severe history of sexual abuse, and autism, the music was amazing...just not healthy for people who want a life worth living. Too much tragedy and abuse. I finally tossed my music so I can be healthy. So many things are hidden from the public.

  28. j.... ....

    You can hear how good a rock guitarist he was. And, Am I the only one feeling he sounds a bit like Jimi on this tune (on peurpose, I guess) ?

  29. v.... b....

    First time I heard Prince's guitar out of tune here and there, for example at 1:43-1:44. I wonder why he didn't tune it right away. I think he was capable of doing that.

  75. J.... F....

    Yeeeesss..... come back PRINCE, please!!!!!

  76. r.... ....

    My god, Prince was so great.

  77. H.... ....

    I decided to listen to Sometimes it Snows in April. I could not listen to the entire song. Just too sad for me to handle! Why did he have to leave us soo soon!! I know there was soo much more music he had in store for us! But in the same he gave us so so much!! Miss that brotha!!😕

    H.... ....

    It snowed in april bad then it rain then snow.

  78. J.... S....

    Awesome!!!!!!

  79. F.... ....

  81. A.... P....

    so intense. God I miss this man SO much! :(

  82. T.... P....

    Sexy. Walk. And. Prince. Made.

  83. M.... ....

    Moments like this make hate that they cancelled Georges show

    M.... ....

    Marcus Smith his show was really good.

    M.... ....

    allanya74 indeed it was

    M.... ....

    That show was good and often lol funny.

  84. M.... B....

    It still hurts that he is not with us. I had cried that day like it was my own familly. I miss new music and him on tv talking about it.

    M.... B....

    He still has New music. Prince a man of the future looked out for us. So much music I hope to live long enough to hear every last note. The vault. Thank you Prince Rogers Nelson. Purple Majesty. Live on in our hearts.

    M.... B....

    @penny andrews you know, I never thought about it that way....but maybe he knew that one day when he ever left this earth that plethora of his life's creation was going to be released to the world. He was a man of the future; you are so right! I've always loved him since I was a little girl...I remember being so small, not even 4 years old, laying inside a pillowcase on the floor with my headphones on, falling asleep listening to his TAPES. Yes, tapes people. I was the old school...lol. But after he died I got back into his work, not just music but his movies...and it's just a blessing that all this wonderful music and movies and TV appearances (that coincidentally people ALWAYS said, "he don't do interviews".…but he's got a lot of damn interviews and clips online of him being interviewed, and on talk shows and such ...)....all this is his gift to us. Tyka, his sister, said that about 2 years before he passed, he said to her that he felt like he'd done everything he came here to accomplish. She says ever since that statement, she knew, she knew he was ready to go. Listen to his song "Way Back Home". I find that very ironic. So many things about his music, so many lyrics...it's like he was one of those wonderful special people who was meant to be here for just a little while. He touched so many people during his time here and continues to do so.

    M.... B....

    yes, I miss the new music he could have created. he was always creating

  85. D.... J....

    Prince Kilt Dem!!

  86. S.... ....

    He is so  powerful, solid  and dynamic,,,.

  87. T.... B....

    sexy self....

  88. N.... M....

    He was somethin else

  89. M.... F....

    Love him

  90. G.... G....

    Loosing Prince was like loosing Hendrix all over again!

    G.... G....

    Geoff Gage. Nothing compares to the unexpected loss of this one and only musical tornado. 'You better lay it down.' Purple Majesty

  91. B.... L....

    I couldn’t stop laughing when he said, “here comes the purple yoga!” How self demeaning! Lol

    B.... L....

    He said Purple Yoda!

    B.... L....

    B L wasn't self demeaning....Yoda was the baddest of the bad Jedi, just like Prince was the baddest if the bad musician. Prince, obviously, the more handsome!

  92. D.... 2....

    If his girlfriend didnt have the surgery maybe she could see what I see

  93. R.... O....

    Those solos are great!!!

  94. m.... p....

    THE BOMB,,,,,,,!!! O+> WE MISS YOU SO BADLY DOWN HERE X

  95. H.... P....

    The Eternal Beauty ...
