Prince – The Ballad of Dorothy Parker Lyrics 14 years ago
this is one of if not my favorite prince songs.
i think hes in a relationship with someone and their having relationship problems. you notice that when he says..

"Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff
In a violent room
Fighting with lovers past"

so he went to the diner to get things off his mind. while there he met this waitress named Dorthy, who he thought was very attractive.
then he says..

"I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast".
he wanted to find someone like him or someone he could relate too.

all the while Dorthy is flirting with him really hard.
then she says "sounds like a real man to me, your kind of cute, wanna take a bath?
hes starting to feel bad and thinks about his previous relationship. thats why he says..
"im kindof going with someone.

so then she says one thing that sends him over the edge, so then they have sex.

when their done he feels alot better so he went back to the violet room- which represents his previous relationship. and then takes a bubble bath with his lover like he did with Dorthy.
then he says all the fighting stops and next time he would use that method sooner.

so basically that was his story with Dorthy Parker

this song may have a deeper meaning than this,because prince is such a deep person
but this is just my take on the song

Prince – Under The Cherry Moon Lyrics 14 years ago
I know im mostlikly wrong about the meaning of this song.
But the meaning to me is basically settling for less.

How can I stand to stay where I am?
-meaning hes not happy were hes at.

If nobody kills me or thrills me soon,
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon.
-meaning if he doesnt find someone or something better soon
he'll just settel down where hes at for the rest of his life.

im pretty sure theres a deeper meaning to this song,being prince is a very deep person
but thats my take on this song.
