All The Critics Love U In New York - Lyrics by Prince

U can dance if U want 2 
All the critics love U in New York 
U don't have 2 keep the beat 
They'll still think it's neat in New York 

U can wear what U want 2 
It doesn't matter in New York 
U could cut off all your hair 
I don't think they'd care in New York 

All the critics love U in New York 

Why U can play what U want 2 
All the critics love U in New York 
They won't say that U're naive 
If U play what U believe in New York 

Purple love-amour is all U're in it 4 
But don't show it 
The reason that U're cool 
Is cuz U're from the old school and they know it 

All the critics love U in New York 

U can dance if U want 2 
All the critics love U in New York 
U can dance if U want 2 
All the critics love U in New York 

All the critics love U, all the critics love U 
All the critics love U in New York 

It's time 4 new direction, it's time 4 jazz 2 die 
4th day of November, we need a purple high 

Don't give up 
I'll still love U 

All the critics love U in New York {x2} 
All the critics love U, all the critics love U 
All the critics love U in New York 

Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit {x4} 

[(On the 1)] 
All the critics love U, all the critics love U 
All the critics love U in New York 

What’re U lookin' at, punk? 

Look out all U hippies, U ain't as sharp as me 
It ain't about the trippin', but the sexuality 
Turn it up! 
U can dance if U want 2 

All the critics love U in New York {x2} 

Yes, we're certain of it 
He's definitely masturbating 

All the critics love U in New York 
Take a bath, hippie! 
All the critics love U in New York {x4} 
In New York 
New York {x4}
