Prince - Man'o'war (Remix) Lyrics

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
