Thanks Nony!

Nony is back!!! And thankfully nothing horrible has happened while I was away. Since people are always talking about song lyrics and I'm always thinking of awesome songs for B&D and/or the top ten to do dances to. I thought I'd post some lyrics. Yes I know this is thread for B's pic/the letter response but heck the lyrics thread is waaaay down page and noone will see it;-).

This song is called "The Beautiful Ones" by Prince & The Revolution and it's from Purple Rain.

What you haven't seen Purple Rain? Well get thee to Blockbuster.com and put it in your queue. Because if any flick reminds/inspires one of Benjelle (as it is currently) it's PR.

Why? Prince is in love with Apollonia who wants to be a singer, but she gets tangled up with Morris Day and tries to be a singer in a girl group of his while also dating him (it's a love triangle).

But the kicker of this whole thing is this 1/3 of the way through the flick Morris Day (of The Time and if you don't know who MD & The Time are they were the band at the end of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) and Apollonia are at the club watching Prince & The Revolution perform and Prince sings this song just to her. It's a pleading love ballad asking just who does she want to be with? And frankly I think it has some of the best acting in the movie right there.

The Beautiful Ones
Baby, baby, baby
What's it gonna be
Baby, baby, baby
Is it him or is it me?
Don't make me waste my time
Don't make me lose my mind baby

Baby, baby, baby
Can't u stay with me tonight
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don't my kisses please u right
U were so hard 2 find
The beautiful ones, they hurt u everytime

Paint a perfect picture
Bring 2 life a vision in one's mind
The beautiful ones
Always smash the picture
Always everytime

If I told u baby
That I was in love with u
Oh baby, baby, baby
If we got married
Would that be cool?

U make me so confused
The beautiful ones
U always seem 2 lose

Baby, baby,
Baby, baby,
Baby, baby,
Baby,
What's it gonna be baby?

Do u want him?
Or do u want me?
Cause I want u
Said I want u
Tell me, babe
Do u want me?
I gotta know, I gotta know
Do u want me?
Baby, baby, baby
Listen 2 me
I may not know where I'm going (babe)
I said I may not know what I need
One thing, one thing's 4 certain baby
I know what I want, yeah
and if it please u baby
please u, baby
I'm begging down on my knees
I want u
Yes I do
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I want you

Yes I do

And sometimes I imagine B doing a solo to "The Beautiful Ones" for D one day.

And just because this comes at the end of PR here's "Baby I'm A Star" cause it fits B&D so well. Of course "I Would Die 4U" goes with it too. But I think that might be too much.

Baby I'm a Star
1,2,3,4
Hey, look me over
Tell me do u like what u see?
Hey, I ain't got no money
But honey I'm rich on personality
Hey, check it all out
Baby I know what it's all about
Before the night is through
U will see my point of view
Even if I have 2 scream and shout

Baby I'm a (star)
Might not know it now
Baby but I r, I'm a (star)
I don't want to stop, 'til I reach the top
Sing it (We are all a star!)

Hey, take a listen
Tell me do u like what u hear?
If it don't turn u on
Just say the word and I'm gone
But honey I know, ain't nothing
Wrong with your ears
Hey, check it all out
Better look now or it just might be 2 late (just might be 2 late)
My lucks gonna change tonight
There's gotta be a better life
Take a picture sweetie
I ain't got time 2 waste

Oh baby I'm a (star)
Might not know it now
Baby but I r, I'm a (star)
I don't want to stop, 'til I reach the top
Sing it! (We are all a star!)

Everybody say, nothing come 2 easy
But when u got it baby, nothing come 2 hard
You'll see what I'm all about (see what I'm all about)
If I gotta scream and shout (if I gotta scream and shout)
Baby baby (baby) baby (baby) baby (baby)
yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (star)

Might not know it now
Baby but I r, I'm a (star)
I don't want to stop, 'til I reach the top
Sing it! (star)

Baby baby baby
oh baby I'm a (star)
baby baby baby

(We are all a star)

(Baby I'm a star)
We are all a star

We are all a star

Doctor!
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
baby, baby, baby, baby
We are all a star

{Backwards talking in the background}
"Like what the fuck do they know.
All their taste is in their mouth.
Really. What the fuck do they know?
Come on baby. Let's go... crazy"

I don't know why B reminds me of Prince just a little tiny bit. Must be all the splits he can do;-).
