Prince
Violet Blue
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)
