[Intro]
I...I...I...I...

Erotic City, Erotic City

[Verse 1]
All of my purple life
I've been looking for a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention main

[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive

[Post-Chorus]
(We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me

[Verse 2]
Every time I comb my hair
Thoughts of you get in my eyes
You're a sinner, I don't care
I just want your creamy thighs

[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive

[Post-Chorus]
(We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me

Woo!

[Verse 3]
All of my hang-ups are gone
How I wish you felt the same
We could fuck until the dawn (Until the dawn)
How I wish you were my dame (Baby, won't you be my dame?)

[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive

[Post-Chorus]
(We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me

[Interlude]
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah woah
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah woah
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah woah

[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive

[Post-Chorus]
(We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me

[Bridge 1]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Some time, some time, some time
Erotic City

[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive

[Bridge 2]
We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me

[Post-Chorus]
(We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me

[Outro]
I, I, I, I
Erotic City, yeah

Prince and the Revolution

“The Revolution” was originally the live backing band for Prince in the early years of his career. They first appeared in a studio capacity on 1999, but it wasn’t until 1984’s Purple Rain when they were officially credited. The band is noted for its diverse range of musicians, which wasn’t very common in the 1980s and inspired by what Sly Stone did with The Family Stone.

The most famous line-up consisted of Prince on lead vocals, guitar, and piano, Wendy Melvoin on guitar and vocals, Brown Mark on bass guitar and vocals, Lisa Coleman on keyboards, piano, and vocals, Matt “Doctor” Fink on keyboards and vocals, and Bobby Z on drums and percussion. The last albums where the Revolution was credited was 1985’s Around the World In A Day & 1986’s Parade.
