Pink Cashmere Lyrics
Ooh, here I go again
Falling in love all over
Ooh, the cycle never ends
You just pray you don't get burned
Ooh, this fire inside of me
Don't nobody realize
Ooh, what you are to me
But baby you got to learn
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
You got to know how I feel about you
How I always want you near
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
I'm counting every minute of every hour
'Til you are here
Girl, can you understand
I never used to go dancing
I...I was the kind of man who rather stay at home
Now, when I think about
How much I miss you
I wanna jump for joy
And thank Him I'm not alone (I am not alone)
Ooh, I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
You got to know how I feel about you baby
How I always want you near
I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
I'm gonna count every minute of every hour
Until you are here ('Til you are here)
Here I go again
Falling in love all over
The cycle never ends (Cycle never endin')
You pray you don't get burnt
I'm making you a coat (I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere)
Cashmere, baby, cashmere (You got to know how I feel about you)
U got to know (How I always want you near)
Yeah baby, baby, baby, baby (I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere)
How I feel about you
How I feel about you
(I'm counting every minute of every hour, 'Til you are here)
When I get my arms around you baby (Yeah)
So many things I'm gonna do (Pink Cashmere)
I'm gonna hug you (You got to know how I feel about you)
I'm gonna kiss you (How I always want you near)
Like your, like your guru (I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere)
I wanna tell you a bedtime story baby
One you never heard before
(I'm counting every minute of every hour - every hour)
I said one you never heard before (How I feel about you)
About a girl (Coat of pink cashmere)
About a boy
And all their joy
All the things they show each other (Coat of pink cashmere)
How to stay in love
How to stay so happy
Baby girl (Coat of pink cashmere)
So many things
So many things
I'm gonna do
Can't you come to me? (Coat of pink cashmere)
Can't you get to me?
I'm gonna make gonna I'm gonna gonna gonna 'onna
I'm gonna make a little pretty pink coat of cashmere
Cuz' u've got to know
How I feel about you babe
How I feel about you babe
I'm gonna make a little pretty coat
I'm gonna count every second, every minute
Each and every hour of every day
'Til you come on back
Come on back
To your little man
Gonna make you a coat of cashmere baby
I think this is one of my favourite songs of all time. It feels like fairytail.
A beautiful song. The orchestral strings just add to the fairytale (I agree with cervante!) feeling. The idea of being thankful for having someone to miss -- a neat twist on the usual "woe is me". Just a superb song overall.
It's very interesting to hear Prince write from this perspective. It reminds me of "When you Were Mine". The longing in this song isn't as desperate as it's depicted usually in songs.
