Prince - Violet Blue lyrics

What's a woman to do? Across the street Waits a man she's promised to And in her presence Is another with eyes of violet blue All aflame Her body when he approaches Steam heat She closes her eyes Imagines his voice So sweet, so sweet Eleven minutes And she'll be late What's a woman to do? Across the street Waits the man she's promised to Indecision reigns and the catalyst Eyes of violet blue Eleven minutes to love Is too little Too much I could listen forever But if I hear too much It could stay in my mind And all could be lost If I'm not careful I'd never want you so We already lost one minute For us That's one more year we got in it For us That's one more year Things we don't know Eleven minutes to love Is he married? One day Does he wanna be? I wish I could tell Just from holding hands But with his eyes so gentle He whispers Only mental communication Is all he wants me to hear Even though I don't want to I must leave him now I can't let him see my tears Though I turn away And notice the time It's late But what's a woman to do? What's a woman to do? [Repeat x2:] The eyes were violet blue And I could see forever The eyes of violet blue And that's what a real woman Real woman wants to do [Repeat x4:] (Love)
