  • Dinner with Delores
    Must be some kind of sin
    Like a Brontosaurus
    She was packin' it in
    The first night we dined
    And by the next time
    This girl was eatin' all but the tip

    And by the stroke of midnight
    She wanted some more (more)
    Showin' dirty movies
    Like some kind of whore
    But she was wastin' her time
    Cause there wasn't a line
    That would make me come 'round her door

    Dinner with Delores
    Must be some kind of sin
    Her bell's just a-broken (bell's just broken)
    Since 1984
    (Dancin') Dancin' like a white girl (white girl)
    On disco dirty floors
    Damn, Delores, pick another subject please
    Introduce the carpet 2 something other than your knees

    Like a real confession
    No one could be more made up than you
    Nothin's left for guessin'
    What a shame
    (Boo hoo) Boo hoo

    (Delores)
    (Delores)

    I'd call you a friend
    But it must be a sin
    And I've run out of cheeks to turn

    Dinner with Delores
    No more
    That's the end Writer/s: PRINCE ROGERS NELSON
