Prince & The Revolution - Raspberry Beret Lyrics

One, two, one, two, three, yeah

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 2 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 look here, I put her on the back of my bike
And we went riding down by old man Johnson's farm

I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed
She wasn't to bright but I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks

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

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

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

(Raspberry beret)
The kind you find
(The kind you find)
The kind you find
(In a second hand store)

Oh, no no
(Raspberry beret and if it was warm)
Where have all the raspberry women gone?
(She wouldn't wear much more)
Yeah
(Raspberry beret)

I think I, I think I
I think I love her

(Raspberry beret)
No no no, no no no
(The kind you find in a second hand store)
(Raspberry beret)

Tell me where have all the raspberry women gone?
(And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more)
(Raspberry beret)
I think I love
