Prince - Make-Up Lyrics






Blush, eyeliner
Hush, see what you made me do?
Base, mascara
Erase, I wanna look good for you
Comb, hair
Don't care, I hate to comb my hair
Make-up
Make-up
Pink, blue
Purple, I wanna make it good for you

Make-up
Make-up
Make-up
Make-up

If I wear a dress
He will never call
So I'll wear much less
I guess I'll wear my camisole

Make-up
Make-up
Make-up
Make-up

Smoke a cigarette
I'm not ready yet
Make-up
Make-up
Make-up
Smoke a cigarette
I'm not ready yet

  1. J.... B....

    Oh shit just discovered it tonight this is a MF jam

  2. G.... M....

    Why does this sound like something Ive heard in a video game?

  3. S.... H....

    It's the entire Electroclash scene coalesced into one demo, 2 decades before it happened. thanks man

  4. d.... ....

    another song i never heard of ...weird how many songs can God write

  5. S.... D....

    From now on Im going to play this when I do my face 😂😂❤️❤️❤️

  6. R.... T....

    Even in 2020, this is HOT!

  7. S.... L....

    I STILL DIG WHITNEY HOUSTONS VERSION

  8. b.... ....

    Sooooooooo dope

  9. V.... V....

    Nina Bo’Nina Brown brought me here

  10. S.... T....

    So 2020's

  11. t.... ....

    To think I would've never discovered this Vanity 6/Prince song if it hadn't been for Lil B rapping on a reversed loop of it lmao

  12. S.... ....

    This version benefits from better production, but even so, it just seems so much more in your face than the original.

  13. t.... J....

    Prince is the only guy that sings about female things like this and no one calls him gay lol 😂

  14. F.... S....

    Influence here: YELLO

  15. K.... ....

    This song give me a Galactica Groove ....like I'm getting transported to the planet Neptune ...Lol

  16. m.... 7....

    This will eternally be ahead of it's time. Only a genius could do this.

  17. V.... M....

    Lover texts: when can we meet up

    Me: SMOKE A CIGARETTE I'M NOT READY YET

  18. c.... ....

    Blade Runner+Kraftwerk+Rick James+Neon Demon=Make up.

  19. R.... H....

    This is EBM! ;)

  20. L.... B....

    Damn. This could be released today and still be the jam!!

  21. C.... G....

    WTF? EBM???

  22. T.... ....

    Always loved Vanity 6's version of this BUT THIS demo version by Prince is INSANE!!!! This joint was BIG in Detroit and Chicago back in the day.

  23. G.... B....

    By the way...wow.... i can't believe this version wasn't put out by Prince at any point in time.... and didn't do more like this.

  24. G.... B....

    Anyone wondering if Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor heard this song...while Prince wasn't looking and stole the whole sound and created a new genre?

  25. L.... B....

    The breakdown is sick:

    If I wear a dress he will never call so I’ll wear much less I guess I’ll wear my camisole

  26. A.... N....

    PRINCE FOR YOU 1978 DEBUT
    “THE FUTURE STARTS HERE”

  27. A.... F....

    Very incredibly cool drum pattern. This is an amazing, unexpectedly terrific album -- that probably would never have seen the light o' day if he'd lived.

  28. R.... S....

    So fucking cool.

  29. M.... L....

    The Beat*

  30. G.... ....

    Best song ever

  31. D.... W....

    Sexy song

  32. D.... H....

    I Just slowed the beat down to 0.75 and now feeling 🤪😊🤪!!!! Prince = GOAT 👏🏾👍🏾🙌🏾

  33. M.... W....

    This sounds like a mega man sound track

  34. h.... ....

    sorry to ruin everyone's party - this is pure punk

  35. J.... N....

    I guess this was a reference track for Vanity 6 — particular Susan Moonsie, who led this track — to learn the song. It reminds me of the audio that surfaced several years ago of the Notorious B.I.G. rapping “Queen B----“ by Lil’ Kim.

  36. h.... k....

    Prince make up yeah he liked his make up tae bless him

  37. t.... ....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  38. K.... ....

    anyone else from julie and brandy?

  39. h.... k....

    Brilliant man some singer

  40. V.... K....

    Never heard this one either

  41. m.... d....

    Since i heard this on the original vanity 6 album , which must be rare as hens teeth, ive loved this track. It would amazing if the prince estate went down the road of putting together a comp covering prince's 'electro clash' phase....to give it a word. Get felix da houskat, peaches, gonzales to help out. Make-up, annie christian, purple music, something in the water...., possessed to think of a few.....man id be digging this

  42. M.... S....

    Vanity 6 originally sang this song

    M.... S....

    Get it right, this is the version Prince gave vanity 6 so they could record theirs. Hence why the album is called "originals". Cause they were originally created by HIM for THEM.

  43. M.... A....

    wish there was an instrumental

  44. W.... ....

    This......and you didn't passed up both "Neon Telephone" and "Eternity" - both fitting into the idea of the album - both being recorded by other artists but with beautiful versions by Prince.
    Please, let a fan choose next time, rather than a 2-bit rapper.

    W.... ....

    I like Make Up better than both of those songs. I’m glad they chose it. There are a lot of songs that could have been on it but I love the ones that are. Maybe next time. 🤷🏽‍♀️

  45. B.... C....

    🙏🏿
    👍🏿👍🏿
    R.I.P
    The best to do it

  46. R.... T....

    A cutting edge joint about makeup!? Only the genius of Prince!

  47. B.... P....

    Sharp like a razor. Still, no one comes close to this visionary in music industry.

  48. d.... ....

    Classic Prince!! Love it!!

  49. t.... ....

    Repeat 💯

  50. L.... B....

    Damn.......Prince @ 134 BPM is fVkg magnificent!!!!!!

  51. l.... ....

    Can’t stop always liked the vanity 6 version but this is fire

  52. A.... E....

    That is to be released 3015
    Thats how far ahead that man is.

  53. _.... ....

    Doesn't this sound like something Sophie would put out nowadays?

  54. e.... ....

    Die Antwoord and/or Rammstein need to cover this immediately as it's clear P's got a 30-year head-start on them each! #AheadOfTheirTime

  55. J.... ....

    This song is FUNKY !! #LUV4ONEANOTHER #JESUSISTHETRUTHTHELIGHTANDTHEWAY #LOVEGOD

  56. P.... B....

    Bellissima my dear friend 🙋🌹thank

  57. S.... R....

    💜🎶

  58. P.... L....

    Funky beat!

  59. A.... Z....

    jbt, dobroдобро

  60. J.... ....

    vanity is not even human... these are words of a raped child... Me. I wore my hair curly... Prince and his loser music industry friends kept wanting me to straighten it... So they can easily replace me with soulless creatures like mytie, vanity, and Apollo. I hate Prince for what he did to me. He did so much selfishly. He was a fool!!! He helped hurt a little girl. I said these things to Prince when I was 14-15 years old... When I was in 9th-10th grade in the 1990's.. when Prince was doing the wrong things with me. smoke cigarettes... I'm not ready yet... because I was a little girl! He was such a selfish foolish KID. How did the wind up in the 1980's.... ask the devil. Prince NEVER did ballads or use his deeper vocals before diamonds and Pearls. He only stuck to rock initially. Ala speed the truth about time machine abuse. There were no prince songs before cern abuse of significance. He was a loner. He has very little. He was Richard pryor in Brewsters Millions. No fans. He could walk the streets of Spanish harlem no problem~ until he danced with the devil. beyond tired of the lies. I hate it here. And still here.

    J.... ....

    Still off your meds I see. You are one sick individual.

  61. S.... C....

    Blush, eyeliner.......hush, see what u made me do? LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

  64. j.... ....

    I like it .... susan of vanity 6 make the song more alluring. now his version of sex shooter was better then Apollonia 6 to me.

  65. R.... M....

    💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

  66. j.... ....

    This reminds me a lot of Warm Leatherette by The Normal, later covered and Bowie'd up by Grace Jones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5QErPDNcj4

  67. S.... ....

    Fuck yes prince!

  68. M.... W....

    Prince does Industrial!! Move over NIN This is awesome!

    M.... W....

    This is better!

  69. D.... C....

    Brilliant

  70. R.... ....

    Soon as the song started it’s a party.

  71. t.... ....

    Sounds like a song that could have been in Blade Runner 1982

  72. o.... ....

    slick, sexy

  73. P.... o....

    😊👍#makeup prince 💜👑🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🎃😊

  74. I.... ....

    This reminds me of some dope ass Kraftwerk type ish from back in the day, but with that Prince funky stank on it. (Ya'll young folk don't know nuthin' 'bout no Kraftwerk.) Check out "Trans-Europe Express", "The Robot", "Numbers", and "The Model," among other Kraftwerk songs and get your fucking mind blown!

  75. S.... ....

    Listening to this song for decades, I never imagine I’d get to hear the demo Prince gave them. So much ear candy came out this gorgeous looking man. I love his experimental stuff the most.

  76. S.... B....

    This Funkin up beat is awesome. Love love it! Love love it! The one and only Prince could Funkin it up!!👍🎵✌🎼👌🎶thanks my Prince😘💃💃💃

  77. W.... J....

  81. B.... ....

    I like this!

  82. R.... E....

    OMG I love the rougher counter melody than the Vaniity 6 version

  83. t.... p....

    Prince your a genius but I got to say please leave this song to vanity 6 ... because you wouldn't look good in camisoles

  84. m.... ....

    Was this for the Batman soundtrack?

    m.... ....

    No. Prince just recorded it as a demo for his girl group, Vanity 6. It came out in 1982.

  85. S.... S....

    Vanity 6 did this song as well.

  86. R.... M....

    Omg I LOVE this song!!! I'm a makeup artist #princeforever

  87. R.... s....

    Awesome! This reminds me why I love him so much. Definitely one of my favourites. Revolutionary in everything he did.

  88. D.... T....

    I am happy he gave this song to Vanity 6 them ladies did they thing with it

  89. T.... M....

    Mario brother's going down the sewer sample? THEY STEAL EVERYTHING FROM THIS GENIUS !! INCREDIBLE TRACK.

  90. B.... .....

    Miss you boo!

  91. I.... S....

    Prince music couldn’t be put in one box. He was always pushing music boundaries 😊

  92. S.... ....

    the synthesizer was the Oberheim Obx and the drum machine was the Linn lm-1

  93. M.... L....

    The best got me hopping bopping and Jiggling and Jamming when I first saw the title I thought is Was going to be a song about a couple that makes up LOL

  94. G.... M....

    His abilities as drum programmer its off the charts

    G.... M....

    Amen to that!

    G.... M....

    NOBODY programs a drum machine like Prince!

    G.... M....
