Prince, the New Power Generation - Joy In Repetition (One Nite Alone Tour... The Aftershow) lyrics

How long you been waitin'?
Well, I hope I can make it up to you
Give us a minute to get tuned up

He liked to frequent this club down upon 36th
Pimps and thangs like to hang outside
 cuss for kicks
Talking to no one in particular,  they say:
"The baddest I am tonight"
Four letter words will not be heard
Not up on this stage tonight
All the poets and the part-time
Singers always hang inside
Live music from a band plays
A song called "Soul Psychodelicide"
Y'all wait a minute, wait a minute
Live music kickin' from the band
They singin':
"Soul Psychodelicide"
I like that
The song's a year long and
Had been playing four months
When he walked into the place
No one seemed to care
An introverted-"This is it"-look on
Most of their faces
Talking about you, huh
Two words falling between the drops and
The moans of his condition
I wanna hear Maceo Parker
Play "Joy In Repetition"
You 'bout to hear Candy Dulfer
Play "Joy In Repetition"
You 'bout to hear, hah
Larry Graham play "Joy In Repetition"
Oh, you 'bout to hear Prince
Play "Joy In Repetition"
Turn it up, John

Up on the mic repeatin' two
Words over and over again
Was this woman he had never noticed before
He lost himself in the articulated manner
In which she said them
Huh
These two words little bit behind the beat
Mean just enough to turn you on
Every time she said the words
Another one of his doubts were gone
Should he try to rap to her?
Should he stand and stare?
(No one else was watching her)
She (Didn't seem to care)
And so
(over and over she said the
Words) she said the words
Till he could take no more
He dragged her from the stage
Together they ran through the back door, ha
In the alley over by the curb
He said "Tell me
What's your
Name?"
She only said the words again, what?
And it started to rain (Rain, rain, rain)
Two words falling between the drops and
The moans of his condition
Holding someone is truly believing, say it
There's
(Joy in repetition)
Think it ain't? Say it
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(There's joy in repetition)
(Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
She said "Love me", huh
Two words, say it now
(Love me)
Hmm, whatcha say baby? Say it one more time
(Love me)
Hey yeah, oh Lord
(Love me)
Joy!
