Pink Cashmere

Prince · The Hits/ The B-Sides [2011]

Oooh...

There I go again falling in love all over

Oooh...

The cycle never ends

You just pray you don't get burned

Oooh...

This fire inside of me, don't nobody realize

Oooh...

What u are to me, but baby u got to learn



I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere

U got to know how I feel about cha

How I always want u near



I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere

I'm counting every minute

Of every hour 'til u are here



Girl, can't u understand

I never used to go dancing

I was the kind of man who'd rather stay at home

Now, when I realize how much I miss u

I want to jump for joy and thank Him I'm not alone



I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere

U got 2 know how I feel about u, baby

How I always want u near

I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere

I'm gonna count every minute of every hour

Until u are here



Here I go again falling in love all over

Oh, the cycle never ends

U pray u don't get burned



I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere

(I'm, I'm making u a coat of cashmere,

Baby, cashmere)

U got to know how I feel about cha

(U got to know, yeah)

I'm making u a coat of pink cashmere

(How I feel about u, how I feel about u, oh)

I'm counting every minute of every hour

'Til u are here



When I get my arms around u, baby

There's so many things I wanna do

I'm gonna hold u

I'm gonna kiss u

Like u...like u...

I'm gonna tell u a bedtime story, baby

One u never heard before

I said, one u never heard before

About a girl, about a boy

And all the joy

All the things that u enjoy

I'd stay in love, I'd stay so happy

Baby girl, there's so many things

So many things I wanna do

I wanna...

I wanna...

I wanna...I wanna...I wanna...I wanna...

I wanna make u a pretty, pretty coat of cashmere

Cause u got to know how I feel about u, baby

How I feel about u, baby

I'm gonna make a little pretty coat

I'm gonna count every second, every minute

Each and every hour of every day

'Til u come on back

Come on back to u're little man
