Man'o'war (Remix)

Prince · Other Songs - Prince

Why you screamin'?

You know I'm not a man 'o' war

Break the gold chain that I gave you

Throw it down on the floor



Instead of this seven-page letter

I wish I had peace of mind

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



But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' 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 screamin'?

You know I'm not a man 'o' war)

How could've you think that I could

Put somethin' inside of someone

That I put inside you, inside you?



Even if I tried to, tried to

I couldn't 'cuz I still smell like the last time, baby



Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you

Is a waste of time

Oh, yes, it is

Lovin' you, a waste of time, baby



I need to feel wanted again

I need to feel love is alive, yeah

I need to hear you say

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



(Why you screamin'?)

You know I'm not a man 'o' war

I've been trying to make you happy, baby

Ever since we were sophomores



But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you

Is a waste of time, oh, yes, it is

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



If there is 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



(Why you screamin'?)

You know I'm not a man 'o' war

Break the gold chain

(Break the gold chain that I gave you)

Throw it down on the floor, oh, baby



Instead of this seven-page letter

I wish I had peace of mind

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



Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you

Is a waste of time

Oh, a waste of time, 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 lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you



(Why you screamin'?)

You know I'm not a man 'o' war

Break the gold chain that I gave you

Throw it down on the floor, oh, baby



Instead of this seven-page letter

I wish I had peace of mind

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



But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you

Is a waste of time

You know I'm not a man 'o' war
