Condition Of The Heart Lyrics
There was a girl in Paris
Whom he sent a letter 2
Hoping she would answer back
Now wasn't that a fool
Hardy notion on the part of a
Sometimes lonely musician
Acting out a whim is only good
4 a condition of the heart
There was a dame from London
Who insisted that he love her
Then left him 4 a real prince
From Arabia, now isn't that
A shame that sometimes money
Buys U everything and nothing
Love, it only seems 2 buy a
Terminal condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a woman from the ghetto
Who made funny faces just like
Clara Bow, how was I 2 know
That she would wear the same
Cologne as U and giggle the same
Giggle that U do?
Whenever I would act a fool, the fool
With a condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris)
whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2)
(Hoping she would answer back)
She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)
He's got a condition of the heart. (notion ...)
Whom he sent a letter 2
Hoping she would answer back
Now wasn't that a fool
Hardy notion on the part of a
Sometimes lonely musician
Acting out a whim is only good
4 a condition of the heart
Who insisted that he love her
Then left him 4 a real prince
From Arabia, now isn't that
A shame that sometimes money
Buys U everything and nothing
Love, it only seems 2 buy a
Terminal condition of the heart
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
Who made funny faces just like
Clara Bow, how was I 2 know
That she would wear the same
Cologne as U and giggle the same
Giggle that U do?
Whenever I would act a fool, the fool
With a condition of the heart
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2)
(Hoping she would answer back)
She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)
He's got a condition of the heart. (notion ...)

I've seen many comments that this song proves he "loved Joni Mitchell." I'm trying to see the correlation. Anyone else hear / read / interpret that through this song? The best connections I can come up with are...
"There was a girl in Paris whom he sent a letter to" - Joni makes multiple references to Paris / France in her songs. "Free Man in Paris," "California," "In France they Kiss on Main Street," etc. Prince has acknowledged writing to Joni in his youth...
"Every day's a yellow day." This is a stretch - Big Yellow Taxi?
I would love to hear some more ideas / thoughts about this...
Beautiful from start to finish
This is a very deep down passionate song.. reminds me of my first boyfriend.. we listened to the whole 'Around the World in a Day' tape (yes,'tape') and made out...
this song is fucking awesome!!! Prince knows that this song is his best! the start with the piano and just the anticipation of knowing that he'll sing in a matter of two minutes is awesome. and then his voice when he sings "Ohhh thinkin about you driving me crazy ohh" it just makes me cry everytime I hear it. because I have someone who drives me crazy like that. like right now, he's driving me crazy.
