Raspberry Beret Songtext
von Prince and The New Power Generation

Oh, you′re driving me crazy up here
Making me feel so good, so good, so good
Huh, question, how many of y'all never seen me before
Ah, first timers, huh?
I′ma see if you know the words to this song
If you dont, you better ask somebody
Come on y'all

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
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 out door, out door


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, looky here now, I put her on the back of my bike
Where′d we go?
Down by old man Johnson's farm
Looky here 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

Sing it, raspberry beret (Raspberry beret)
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry beret (Uh huh, uh huh)
If it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret, I think I, I think I love ya now


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

Raspberry beret, oh
The kind you find (The kind you find)
In a second-hand store
Raspberry beret, uh huh, uh huh
If it was warm, she wouldn′t wear much more (Tell me where have all the raspberry women gone?)
Raspberry beret
Portland, I think I, I think I love ya
