Rasperry Beret Songtext
von Prince

One, two
One, two, three, uh

Yeah

I was working part-time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn′t like my kind
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely

It seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That′s when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the outdoor, outdoor

She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her


Built like she was
She had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any harm
So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm

I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed
She wasn′t too bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks

She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm, she wouldn′t wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who you are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
You feel like a movie star


Listen
They say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell ya
If I had the chance to do it all again
I wouldn′t change a stroke
'Cause baby, I′m the most
With a girl as fine as she was then

(Raspberry beret)
(The kind you find)
The kind you find (in a second-hand store) oh, no, no
(Raspberry beret and if it was warm)
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (She wouldn't wear much more)
(Raspberry beret) yeah

I think I, I think I, I think I love her

(Raspberry beret) no, no, no
No, no, no (the kind you find in a second-hand store)
(Raspberry beret)
Tell me where have all the raspberry women gone?
(And if it was warm, she wouldn′t wear much more)
(Raspberry beret)
I think I love...
