Prince – You’ve got the Look

This song is very straight forward, but it can be taken as boy meets girl, or the creator calls you to the center stage. The closing time, ugly lights line describes the time of judgement. This way of describing that concept is used in a many songs. There is even an entire song about it by Semi Sonic – Closing Time.

 

Here we are folks, the dream we all dream of
Boy versus girl in the World Series of love
Tell me, have you got the look?

You walked in, I woke up
I’ve never seen a pretty girl look so tough
Baby, you got that look

Color you peach and black
Color me takin’ aback
Crucial, I think I want ya

You’ve got the look, you’ve got the hook
Sho’nuff do be cookin’, in my book
Your face is jammin’, your body’s heck-a-slammin’
If love is good, let’s get to rammin’
You got the look, you got the look

Looka here
You got the look
(You got the look)
You musta took
(You musta took)
A whole hour
Just to make up your face, baby

Closin’ time, ugly lights
Everybody’s inspected
(Everybody’s inspected)
But you are a natural beauty unaffected
(Unaffected)
Did I say an hour? My face is red
I stand corrected
(I stand corrected)

You’ve got the look
(You’ve got the look)
You sho’nuff do be cookin’ in my book
(Slammin’)
Your face is jammin’, your body’s heck-a-slammin’
If love is good, let’s get to rammin’
You got the look, you got the look

There’s no jokin you well, here we are
Ladies and gentlemen the dream we all dream of
(Oh, please)
Boy versus girl in the World Series of love
Slammin’

You walked in, I woke up
(I walked in, you woke up)
I never seen such a pretty girl look so tough
Baby, you got that look
(Baby you got that look)

Color you peach and black
Color me takin’ aback, baby
Crucial, I think I wantcha

You’ve got the look, you’ve got the hook
You sho’nuff do be cookin’ in my book
Your face is jammin’, your body’s heck-a-slammin’
If your love is good, let’s get to rammin’ now
You got the look, you got the look

Here we are folks
The dream we all dream of

You got the look
