Darling Nikki

About Darling Nikki

"Darling Nikki" is a song produced, arranged, composed, and performed by American musician Prince and originally released on his Grammy Award-winning 1984 album Purple Rain. Though the song was not released as a single, it gained wide notoriety for its sexual lyrics and in particular an explicit reference to masturbation. Compared with the slick production of the other songs on the album, "Darling Nikki" was deliberately engineered to have a raw and live feel. The song tells the story of a "sex fiend" named Nikki who seduces the singer. In the film Purple Rain, the song is directed toward Apollonia Kotero's character when she decides to work with Prince's character's rival, played by Morris Day. Near the end of the song, the music stops into the sound of rain and wind. There is singing, but played in reverse. The vocals, unreversed, are Prince singing, During the Purple Rain Tour performances of "Darling Nikki", the recording at the end was played forward. This can be heard in the live video Prince and the Revolution: Live. more »

I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend,
I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine,
She said how'd you like to waste some time and I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind.

She took me to her castle and I just couldn't believe my eyes,
She had so many devices everything that money could buy,
She said "sign your name on the dotted line."  The lights went out and Nikki started to grind.

Nikki

The castle started spinning or maybe it wa my brain.
I can't tell you what she did to me but my body will never be the same.
Awe, her lovin will kick your behind, she'll show you no mercy
But she'll sure 'nough, sure  'nough show you how to grind

Come on Nikki

I woke up the next morning, Nikki wasn't there.
I looked all over and all I found was a phone number on the stairs
It said thank you for a funky time
Call me up whenever you want
To grind
Come back Nikki come back
Your darling little prince
Want to grind,grind,grind.

Sometimes the world's a storm.
One day soon the storm will pass
And all will be bright and peaceful.
Fearlessly bathe in the,
Purple rain
