My Name Is Prince

Prince and the New Power Generation

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)

My name is Prince and I am funky

My name is Prince, the one and only

I did not come 2 funk around

Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town

In the beginning (funky) God made the sea

But on the 7th day He made me

He was tryin' 2 rest y'all when He heard the sound

Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down

I tried 2 bust a high note, but I bust a string

My God was worried until he heard me sing

My name is Prince and I am funky

My name is Prince, the one and only

Hurt me!

(Do that, do that somebody) {x8}

Hurt me!

My name is Prince and I am funky

When it come 2 funk, I am a junkie

I know from righteous, I know from sin

I got 2 sides and they both friends

Don't try 2 clock 'em, they're much 2 fast

If U try 2 stop 'em, they'll kick that ass

Without a pistol, without a gun

When U hear my music, U be havin' fun

That's when I gotcha, that's when U mine

2 tell the truth, tell me what's my line?

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)

My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince)

Hurt me!

(Do that, do that somebody) {x4}

Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Prince)

My name is Prince, I don't wanna be King

Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream

Big cars and women and fancy clothes

Will save your face but it won't save your soul

I'm here 2 tell U that there's a better way

Would our Lord be happy if He came 2day?

I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than U, huh

But if U want 2 play with me, U better learn the rules (Ow!)

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)

My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince)

I did not come 2 funk around (U can't stop Prince)

Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town

I won't leave this town {x2}

I won't leave this, leave this, leave this…

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)

My name is Prince the one and only (U can't stop Prince)

Funky fresh 4 the 90's

(Do that, do that somebody) {x4}

Hurt me!

The funkier I be, the funkier I get, ooh shit

Lickety split on the lyric, a new jack in the pulpit

Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'

What is this U're seekin'?

The syncopated rhymes are at their peak when…

U jumped on my D.I.C.K.

That's the one thing I don't play

The jock strap was 2 big 4 U anyway

U're just a simpleton

I'll bust U like a pimple, son

My star is 2 bright, boy

I'll sink U like the ship Poseidon Adventure

U're bumpin' dentures 2 be cocksure

There must be more coming from your mouth than manure

So with a flow and a spray, I say hey

U must become a Prince before U're King anyway

(Do that, do that somebody) {x2}

It's time I get ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ignorant

Def be the beat that I'm rockin'

Yo, so come get a hit

And put your thinking cap on

U've been forewarned

I call upon the inner forces I've got brewin' in my cauldron

That means my nugget, sometimes I'm rugged

The style I posses be havin' the other brothers buggin'

And this is 4 those who oppose

And propose 2 overexpose, disclose

Pose a threat 2 my brother

Like any other man makin' a stand

I'll be damned if I let U play this hand

I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked

What do U expect 2 win when U're used 2 playing craps?

Yeah, let's get rid of them, hmm?

(Do that, do that somebody) {x2}

It's gettin' tricky, that means a sticky situation

2 resurrect a groove with feeling and give it this much affection

Passion flows who knows what lurks in the gallows of my mind

I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow

12 inches of non-stop sole

I'm on a roll - yo P, it's time 4 the show

So do that, do that somebody

Wave your hands in the air, this is a motherfuckin' party

While U're layin' back, I'm on the attack

Paddywhack - give yourself a bone

This is my house and I'm prone

2 layin' some chrome upside some motherfucker's dome

And I'm out

My name is Prince and I am funky

My name is Prince, the one and only

My name is Prince {x10}

Morning Papers

He realized that she was new 2 love

Naive in every way

Every schoolboy's fantasy she was

That's why he had 2 wait

If he poured his heart into a glass and offered it like wine

She could drink and be back in time 4 the morning papers

They could take a walk down the ocean side

Make a wish on every wave

They could find a carousel and ride

Or kiss in every cave

They could contemplate the entire universe or just one star

Oh, just how far was the walk 4 the morning papers?

Yeah

Let me play it 4 U one time, oh oh

Well

Hey

Shucks

Why is age more than a number when it comes 2 love?

Should we ask the ones who speculate

When they don't know what it's made of?

Should we ask the moonlight on your face or the raindrops in your hair?

Or should we ask the man who wrote it there in the morning papers?

Hey

Should we ask the moonlight on your face or the raindrops in your hair?

Should we ask the man who wrote it there in the morning papers?

Oh yes!

Somebody help me sing it now

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Oh yeah – hey, hey, hey

Yes

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

G'on! Play!

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Son of a bitch hung up!

Oh well, here we are again

Lookin' 4 something 2 get us in the mood

I tell each and every one of my friends

I always take a simple thing and push it way 2 far

But baby, that's the problem with U and I

U say not in public but I say in the car, mm

Say, we need 2 get wild again like it was when we first met

Close your eyes and count 2 10 and when U open 'em

I'll be standing naked with nothing but a smile on

CHORUS

(Well)

I'll be 117

U'll be still sayin' - "Baby, not 2night"

Well, it's easy 2 see us on the cover of a magazine, huh

"Double heart attack, couple both died in a fight"

Well baby, I don't wanna cross that road cuz I love U 2 much

I'd do anything just 2 heat up your cold touch

Anything I would do, but up until u tell me 2

I got 7 hours baby, so whatcha wanna do?
(Ooh, I wanna melt with U) {repeats throughout song}

Hey hey hey...

This is safe sex--New Power Generation style
A funky little story about U and me
Gettin' busy 4 a while

We gonna shake and shake and shake
'Til we're both deranged with endorphins
This is the ultimate rave
(Ooh) I wanna melt with U
S 2 the S

CHORUS:
Slow, slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips
In other words, get close enough 2 stick
And I'll melt with U
And U can melt with me 2
And we'll groove and groove until the earth moves
I want 2 melt with U, yeah

Don't look now, but there's a river of blood
U must have been a virgin
What am I guilty of?
Oh no! (Oh no)
Are U afraid?
Then take me 2 the next phase

CHORUS
(Slow)
(Oh yeah)
(Melting)
(Hit me)

I'm thinkin' about the quivery ocean
And trippin' all over your every motion
And thinkin' about the way that U kiss
I'm thinkin' about some of this
And then I'm thinkin' about some of that
And then my backbone slips
And then my lips just drip
And then the hips just whip and whip and... (Ah, ow!)

Uh, yeah, do that baby {x3}

Uh, just like a dog
Uh, yeah, do that baby, (Ow ow ow!) just like a dog {x2}
