Girls and Boys Lyrics

Artist: Prince
Album: Girl 6

Girls and boys!

He only knew her 4 a little while,
but he had grown accustomed 2 her style
She had the cutest ass he'd ever seen
He did 2, they were meant 2 be
They loved 2 kiss on the steps of Versailles
It looked like rain, mama, birds do fly
I love u baby, I love u so much,
maybe we can stay in touch
Meet me in another world, space and joy,
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys

He gave her all the love that anyone can,
but she was promised 2 another man
He tried so hard not 2 go insane
Birds do fly, looks like rain
I love u baby, I love u so much,
Maybe we can stay in touch
Meet me in another world, space and joy,
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys

Life is precious baby, love is so rare
I can take the breakup if u say that u care
He had 2 run away, his pride was 2 strong
It started raining, baby, the birds were gone
(I love u baby, I love u so much)
Maybe (Maybe we can stay in touch)
Meet me in another world (Meet me in another world, space and joy)
vous etes tres belle (vous etes tres belle, mama)
girls and boys (girls and boys)

(I love u baby, I love u so much)
I want u, babe (Maybe we can stay in touch)
Maybe we can play today (Meet me in another world, space and joy)
vous etes tres belle (vous etes tres belle, mama)
girls and boys (girls and boys)

I want u baby (I love u so much)
I want u so much (Maybe we can stay in touch)
Maybe, maybe we can stay in touch (Meet me in another world, space and joy)
Another world, space (vous etes tres belle)
Lips... (mama, girls and boys)

Happiness in it's uncut form
Is the feeling that I get, you're warm, warm
Happy's what I get when we do what we do
Happiness, mama, is being with u
Good lord

Meet me somewhere after dawn
Lord (I love u baby)

So like I saw u from across the room, and (maybe we can stay in touch)
Honey, u danced so hard I smelled your perfume, (maybe we can stay in touch)
and the look on your lips said that a,
"We could talk some more, (maybe we can stay in touch)
some more on the dance floor baby" (I love u baby)
Hear the words I'm saying, (I love u so much)
Feel the sex I'm laying (maybe we can stay in touch)
Naughty's what I wanna be with u tonight
Tonight
(Meet me in another world, space and joy)
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys
Girls and boys

This song is only one of many that ROCKS!
And yes, it's originally recorded on the Parade album and can been heard in the Under The Cherry Moon movie. Prince is the man and there are not many out there that can touch him even if they sell more records these days. Lets see how many of Chris Brown's songs last 20 years and more.

etonner means amaza, astonish
"Pendant des heures je vais vous etonner" becomes then "during hours i will amaze you"

I think someone, though I'm not sure if it was Prince, may have misspelled the French part. Whoever wrote down these lyrics put it as "vous etes tres belle". I believe what they actually meant to write is "vous êtes très belle". I know this since I speak French. Also, "Girls And Boys" is not featured on the album "Girl 6", it's actually on the album "Parade". I know this because I have the album on CD, and so does my American mom. I also know this because one of the babysitters I had when I was younger, a girl named Heather, had the "Parade" album on tape, and she was the one who introduced me to it.
