Man'o'war

Prince · Other Songs - Prince

Why you screaming?

You know I'm not a man of war

Break the gold chain that I gave you

Throw it down on the floor



Instead of this 7 page letter

I wish I had piece of mind

My friends tell me, "You should go get her"

But loving you, loving you, loving you is a waste of time



Oh yes, it is, a waste of time, ooh



I need to get out of this city

I need to get you out of my head

I need to get away from the words that you said to me



Why you screaming?

(Ooh)

You know I'm not a man of war

How could you think that

I could put something inside of someone

That I put inside you, inside you?



Even if I tried to, tried to

(Tried to, tried to)

I couldn't 'cause I still smell like the last time that we

Loving you, loving you, loving you is a waste of time

(A waste of time)



Oh, yes it is

Loving you, a waste of time

(Ooh oh)



I need to feel wanted again

I need to feel love is alive, yeah

I need to hear you say

That you ain't looking for another reason to make me cry



Why you screaming?

(Ooh)

You know I'm not a man of war

I've been trying to make you happy, baby

Ever since we were sophomores



(But loving you, loving you, loving you)

Is a waste of time, oh yes, it is

Oh, is a waste of time, waste of time, waste of time



If there's no future then there is no past

And all we've got is right now

Let's make it last

Make it last, make it last

(Ooh)



Why you screaming?

You know I'm not a man of war

Break the gold chain

(Break the gold chain that I gave you)

Throw it down on the floor, oh baby



Instead of this 7 page letter

I wish I had piece of mind

(My friends tell me, "You should go get her")

Tell me, "You should go get her"



(But loving you)

Loving you, loving you, loving you

Is a waste of time

(A waste of time)

Oh, a waste of time, oh yeah



I need to get out of this city

I need to get you out of my head

I need to

I need to get away from the words that you said to me

I need to



I need to feel wanted again

Oh, I need to hear no sin

Hear me

(But loving you, loving you, loving you)



Why you screaming?

You know I'm not a man of war

Break the gold chain that I gave you

Throw it down on the floor, oh baby



Instead of this 7 page letter

I wish I had piece of mind

My friends tell me, "You should go get her"

But loving you, loving you, loving you is a waste of time
