Prince - Vagina Lyrics






Vagina was half-boy, half-girl
Her hair was shorter than mine
She told me she lived in the city
I never knew when she was lying
I first saw her in a gay bar (gay bar)
Kissing another girl
I told her, baby, I'm looking for a turn on
And she said, welcome to my world (welcome to my world)
Vagina was half-boy, half-girl
She taught me how to dance
Used to do it, used to do it with the TV on
Political romance

Half-boy, half-girl
Best of both worlds
Half-boy, half-girl
Best of both worlds

Vagina was half-boy, half-girl
She had her own way of doing things
But baby, she should have been king
'Cause she was so strong and so understanding

Oh, ooh
Vagina (la, la, la, la)
Oh, ooh
Oh, oh, la, la, la, la, oh
Oh, oh, la, la, la, la, oh
Vagina…

Vagina was half-boy, half-girl
You never told me how you got your name
I guess you wanted a little fame
I guess you got what you wanted
You got what you wanted, girl

Half-boy, half-girl
Best of both worlds (sing it now)
Half-boy, half-girl (oh)
Best of both worlds (everybody now)
Half-boy, half-girl (oh, oh)
Best of both worlds
Half-boy, half-girl
Best of both worlds
Half-boy, half-girl (oh, oh)
Best of both worlds (oh, yeah)
Half-boy, half-girl
Best of both worlds (vagina, vagina, vagina...)

    Oh comon, this is ok, but i know there are better songs in that Vault.

    B.... M....

    This is awesome.

    B.... M....

    Just wish Prince completed with drums, etc

  2. h.... ....

    As mentioned below, it is true that Denise turned down the stage name Vagina and chose Vanity instead, but this song could not be about her. Denise wasn't masculine, and he didn't meet her in a gay bar.

  3. i.... ....

    "Pardon me, but did you say your name was 'Allotavigina?"..........

  4. I.... ....

    Now explain to me what the vagina has to do with a song

  5. L.... 1....

    This Music was so far ahead of it's time. Prince IS Music.

  6. R.... L....

    That guitar.

  7. �.... ....

    まんこ!?

  8. k.... ....

    I cannot stop listening to this damn catchy song. You've done it again, Prince!

  16. T.... M....

    New Wave sound. Prince did in the early 80's.

  17. g.... a....

    has anyone got the full demo of the prince mid 80s song called, cunt lips, it is similar to this one but more explicit

  18. T.... ....

    I love the guitars on this one 🎸

  19. T.... ....

    I love the guitars on this one 🎸

  20. D.... W....

    This song was meant for vanity 6

  21. t.... ....

    Pure untouchable skills.

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

    Vanity was on the Tonite Show (I think) and Joan Rivers was cohosting—Vanity half whispered the name Prince originally wanted to give her. Joan goes, “oh oh, you could never have hadda career with that…”

  23. B.... J....

    Just give me Prince music and all is right with the world.

  24. J.... ....

    Any chance MJ heard this before making State of Shock?

  25. b.... ....

    Good song.. Very Prince. Sounds more like a dirty mind outtake.. Cool song

  26. P.... R....

    the title will put some people off, but this track is another gem, the guitar is amazing.

  27. g.... a....

    can someone please tell me wat this song is about?

    g.... a....

    lol. im kinda disturbed but loving it

    g.... a....

    @Sasha .t lol u gotta luv prince can u imagine michael jackson writing a song with this song title

    g.... a....

    To my understanding, Vagina is the first name Prince gave Denise before he changed it to Vanity. She was like a tomboy or a girl with guy thoughts.

  28. R.... N....

    I'm lovin' me some Vagina!!!

  29. D.... L....

    Amazing song!!! Jewel

  30. j.... ....

    it's fuckin' great like the whole re-issue is. damn!

  31. J.... D....

    Those lyrics would make that song. Platinum in a week these days SMH BUT the music is still GREAT

    J.... D....

    What are you shaking your head at? He was way ahead of his time and nothing’s wrong with the lyrics.

    J.... D....

  35. s.... ....

    Missing the bass line, kick and drums....cheap copy

    s.... ....

    @Johnny Belle not from the estate... Tyka couldn't even be 4% of what I already own....

    s.... ....

    @skyviolet Both guitar tracks are panned to each ear, leaving the bass to fill the space in the middle/centre. If that's not enough, how about from 3:04. At this point the slap bass almost becomes impossible to ignore, especially if you're wearing good headphones. There are literally 3 different melodies happening. There definitely aren't any drums though, that's for sure.


    However if I'm wrong, please explain why that is the case :-)
    (and I'll be happy to listen to that studio version you mentioned earlier....)

    s.... ....

    @Johnny Belle your stupid

    s.... ....

    @skyviolet How am i stupid? Just answer reasonably for once.

    s.... ....

    @skyviolet also, I doubt Prince killed himself just because one fan said that he heard bass in one of his tracks.

  36. C.... M....

    Te amooooo pinche prince! I'm in your world😍😘

  37. s.... ....

    People probably don't know that was Vanity's original name..

    s.... ....

    Vanity's real name was Denise Matthews, dear.

    s.... ....

    @antunivanovic Duh, shut up with that..

  38. s.... ....

    Thieves in the temple ..

  39. F.... R....

    Is this song about vanity who thinks like a man but is a woman

    F.... R....

    It's about a transgender woman! The lyrics are 100% clear. Vanity was not a transgender woman.

  40. F.... R....

    This would have been perfect on dirty mind I don't know if it was recorded yet but this would have been perfect on dirty mind

    F.... R....

    I was thinking that. This and Gotta Stop Messin About should have been on there instead of Do It All Night and Gotta Broken Heart Again (not that I dislike those songs at all).

  41. T.... S....

    This sounds like a track off the 3rd eye CD. What am I thinking of? (I got it: the Deliverance E.P.)

    T.... S....

    Dude, i figured it out! It's that one track off of DELIVERANCE. remember the one? "He was/I am"? Same intro at least ;)

  42. L.... 4....

    Lyrics @ http://moonbeamlevels4u.info/vagina.htm

  43. V.... D....

    Curious does the liner notes state this was intended for Vanity 6? Sounds like it would fit on their debut, dope track!

    V.... D....

    You know that Vagina was originally going to be Prince's name for Vanity, right? Supposedly Denise balked at it and they settled on Vanity instead.

    V.... D....

    @scottyk171 Yes not too much about Prince that got left on me since childhood <3

  44. g.... ....

    Oh Prince, you never let me down!!!!!! Haha! Love it!!!!!!

  45. s.... ....

    I should run Paisley Park... I've been doing this for decades, and these cheap computer compressed copies can't even come close to my bootleg collection.... I own everything...

    s.... ....

    skyviolet send me some tracks [email protected]

    s.... ....

    Tim....dat you ?

    s.... ....

    Deadass ??

    s.... ....

    @Zizzle no, they don't own everything...

  46. K.... ....

    This song confirm that Prince was one of the RAINBOW KIDz.....Prince 80s music was fulled of Gender Fluid Funk and Roll.....love this song because it kind of remind me of my teenage years.... I was The Best Of BoTH Worlds....Lol

    K.... ....

    @Ren Da Heatmonsta Doja Clik ...You're dumb ...Sometimes it snows in April isn't about himself that about a male friend that died from AIDS...you're not a PRINCE FAN like I said ...you're a deer in headlights..

    K.... ....

    Kavita8 In an interview with Wendy and Lisa they stated very clearly Prince is straight and was never gay but he was very feminine. I forget the quote exactly but they said something like he was a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. I remember them saying that and always thought that perfectly described him.

    K.... ....

    @Garkis Bloodlust ...Well if that the case ...it's well known that Lesbian have sex with men also especially the feminine looking ones. ....just food 4 thought...Lol

    K.... ....

    @Kavita8 where in this thread did I say anything about blackness, but as you said he talked about it when he got old so he was fund as you would say with acknowledging that, but never spoke on being a rainbow kid as you said.

    K.... ....

    @vanitysmirror ....Prince didn't have to say it just look how he dress and acted... Prince was wade ahead of his times of being Gender Fluid a.k.a Rainbow Kid

  47. N.... H....

    This was supposed to be Vanity's name but she wasn't having it.

    N.... H....

    No Hope For Humanity yep

    N.... H....

    Yes, She wasn't having it. I strongly believe Prince was kind creating a Sex Cult with those around him.

    N.... H....

    I didn't know her name meant worthless. That she was not!

  48. T.... 0....

    Wasn't Denise's name supposed to be 'Vagina?' 😂 Hmmm...this may have something to do with her. And the fact that Prince says that Vagina 'was half-boy, half-girl,' goes hand in hand with his comments on Vanity being the female version of himself.

    T.... 0....

    Great perspective! I agree with you 100%

    T.... 0....

    @Marcus Austin Thank you. 😄

    T.... 0....

    @Taurus 03 Only a True fan of Prince would know that to be correct & know that your perspective wasn't far fetched!

    T.... 0....

    Anybody else don't think what that 1 on the album cover looks like.😫

  49. K.... ....

    "Listen, I don't think Vagina is something we can release. People won't stand for it. Let's just go with Scarlet Pussy instead."

  50. E.... C....

    am i the only one who feels an annie christian vibe?

    E.... C....

    Yes. Great vibe

  51. b.... ....

    This is freaky with a capital F.

  52. S.... C....

    1:50 wow

  53. b.... b....

    This was intended for "The Hookers", so he's singing from a female's point of view. This track fucking rocks.

  54. D.... M....

    Damn, Prince was even ahead of his time when it came to the whole transgender agenda too.

    D.... M....

    Well, the Kinks did Lola in 1970. But this track is also awesome!

    D.... M....

    And Lou Reed did “Walk on the Wild Side” in 1972 in which he sang about not one, but two transsexuals, Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn. I would also argue that Reed probably did much less crudely than Prince did with this song. Still, in the ultra-conservative Reagan era United States, Prince was pretty bold to even lay down a track like this.

    D.... M....

    @TomTom Wow, I have to go back and listen to it again now lol.

  55. E.... B....

    Finally 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥

  56. E.... B....

    Finally 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥

  57. M.... M....

    Sounds and feels like when u were mine 2nd or 3rd cousin,a cool b side

  58. M.... M....

    Among his era, Prince tipped his hat to acknowledge and embrace all his lgbtqx fans more than any other top tier artists. The pronouns and title suggest “she” was simply open-minded free-spirited “gay” bi-sexual with a butch haircut; so, those suggesting any surgery or even transvestism is explicit need to brush up on their literacy skills.

    M.... M....

    Vagina is a transgender ("half boy half girl"= woman's breasts, woman's hips, male genitals) woman that's why Prince uses female pronouns. It's in his book "the beautiful ones", Prince's drawing of Vagina, it's a trans girl. Not a transvestite. No surgery, or he wouldn't say "half boy half girl best of both worlds".

  59. W.... P....

    Increíble

  60. o.... ....

    This is awesome! I haven't heard a track quite like this from Prince before. Subject reminds me of Lola by Kinks.

    o.... ....

    Sounds like When You Were Mine or something from that Prince era

  61. R.... D....

    Sounds like something he would do in his Dirty Mind period, this really 1982 ?

  62. R.... D....

    Dat guitar!

  63. C.... M....

    yesssss xx

  64. C.... ....

    This is so Prince lmao.

  65. B.... B....

    Best of both worlds

  66. C.... P....

    *I swear this nigga Prince can turn any lyrics in to an amazing song*
