Prince Writing Challenge 2016

Little Red Corvette

I should’ve known this was never going to last. So many things to overlook as you played with me, toyed with me knowing how much I want you. I’m sure I made it easy for you, blinded by your beauty and that incredible body. You delighted in prancing around, showing off every sexy curve, pulling me in with your seductive ways. How could I not see I was just another conquest? Another notch on your G-string? How could I not see you’re the kind of person that believes in makin’ out once, love ‘em and leave ‘em fast.

There must be some way to slow you down, to tame you and damn I’m gonna try. I cannot seem to help myself when you’re around, as if it’s a challenge when you’re within arm’s length. You gyrate around, my eyes glued to your every move. Girl, you’ve got an ass like I never seen. My fingers twitch just to mold themselves to your smooth round curves. To pull you up against me and let you see firsthand what you’re doing to me. Babe, you think it’s just for tonight, but I will show you what it’s like to slow down, to linger in every moment and become lost in each new sensation I stir inside of you. Once I show you what it’s like to be with me, to bask in all I can do to you and for you, you’ll finally see all that this could be.

No more Saturday night flings, no more running when dawn approaches. You will beg me to love you again, to take you to that place that has been just out of your reach.

"Little Red Corvette"

I guess I should've known by the way
You parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last
See, you're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast

I guess I must be dumb
'Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "What have I got to lose?"

And honey, I say Little Red Corvette
Baby, you're much too fast
(Oh)
Little Red Corvette
You need a love that's gonna last

I guess I should've closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place where your horses run free
'Cause I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me

Believe it or not, I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?", Oh yeah

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you're much too fast
(Yes, you are)
Little Red Corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last
(Oh, oh)

A body like yours oughta be in jail
'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene
Move over, baby, gimme the keys
I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you're much too fast
Little Red Corvette
Need to find a love that's gonna last, hey hey

Little Red Corvette
Honey, you got to slow down
(Got to slow down)
Little Red Corvette

'Cause if you don't, you're gonna run your little red corvette
Right in the ground
(Little Red Corvette)
Right down to the ground
(Honey, you got to slow down)

You, you, you got to slow down
(Little Red Corvette)
You're movin' much too fast, too fast
Need to find a love that's gonna last

Girl, you got an ass like I never seen, ow
And the ride
I say the ride is so smooth, you must be a Limousine

Ow, baby, you're much too fast
Little Red Corvette
You need a love, you need a love that's, uh, that's gonna last
(Little Red Corvette)

Babe, you got to slow down
(Y got to slow down)
Little Red Corvette
'Cause if you don't, 'cause if you don't

You're gonna run your body right into the ground
(Right into the ground)
Right into the ground
(Right into the ground)
Right into the ground
(Right into the ground)
