Electric Chair
Prince · Batman
That's who I danced with
All the time I was watchin' you
The music rocked us
Our eyes locked thus
Makin' us see a trippy picture shoo
If a man is considered guilty
For what goes on in his mind
Then give me the electric chair
For all my future crimes, oh
You whispered something
It took my mind out like a
G flat major with an E in the bass
Your face looked so good
I wanted to touch your mouth
My brain is jackin' all over the place
If a man is considered guilty
For what goes on in his mind
Then give me the electric chair
For all my future crimes, oh
Let's take a drive, love
So we can make up our minds, love
To commit the crimes of passion
That sets us free
Me lovin' you, you lovin' me (me lovin' you, you lovin' me)
The electric chair
I saw your friend first
That's who I danced with
All the time I was watchin' you (I was watchin' you)
The music rocked us
Our lives shocked us
Makin' us see a trippy picture shoo
I've got to have it
Somebody...
If a man is considered guilty
For what goes on in his mind
Then give me the electric chair
For all my future crimes, oh
You know I'm guilty, yeah (for all my future crimes)
Guilty (for all my future crimes)
And if ya don't really love me
(Then give me the electric chair) oh
Electric chair
