(I want to be your lover) (Party up) (Controversy)

(I want to be your lover) (Party up) (Controversy) (Prince)

(I want to be your lover) (Party up) (Controversy)

My name is Prince and I am funky

My name is Prince the one and only

I did not come to funk around

'Tll I get your daughter I won't leave this town

In the beginning God made the sea

But on the seventh day he made me

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

Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down

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

My God was worried 'til 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)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

Hurt me (Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody) [Repeat: x5]



My name is Prince and I am funky

When it come to funk I am a junky

I know from righteous I know from sin

I got to sides and they both friends

Don't try to clock 'em, they're much too fast

If you try to stop 'em they kick that ass

Without a pistol, without a gun

When you hear my music you'll be havin' fun

That's when I got ya that's when you mine

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



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

My name is Prince the one and only, hurt me (You can't stop Prince)



(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

Funky fresh for the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody) (Prince)



My name is Prince, I don't want to be king

Cause 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 to tell you that there's a better way

Would our Lord be happy if He came to day?

I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than you

But if you want to play with me, you better learn the rules



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

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

I did not come for funk around (You can't stop Prince)

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

I won't leave this town

I won't leave this town

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



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

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

Funky fresh for the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

Hurt me (Do that, do that, some)



The funkier I be

The funkier I get, oh shit

Lickety split on the lyric

A new jack in the pulpit

Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'

What is this you're seekin'?

The syncopated rhymes are at their peak

When you jumped on my D.I.C.K.

That's the one thing that I don't play

The jock strap was to big for you anyway

You're just a simpleton

I'll bust you like a pimple, son

My star is to bright

Boy, I'll sink you like the ship Poseidon Adventure

You're bumpin' dentures to be cocksure

There must be more coming from

Your mouth than manure.

So with a flow and a spray, I say hey

You must become a prince before you're king anyway



(Do that, do that somebody)

(Do that, do that somebody)



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

Def be the beat that I'm rockin'

Yo so, come get a hit

And put your thinking cap on

You've been forewarned

I call upon the inner forces that 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 for those who oppose

And propose to overexpose disclose

Pose a threat to my brother

Like any other man makin' a stand

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

I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked

What do you expect to win when you're used to playing craps?



(Do that, do that somebody)

Hell yeah, let's get this under the

(Do that, do that somebody)



"Damn." It's gettin' tricky

I mean it's a sticky situation

To resurrect a groove with feeling

And give it this much affection

Passion flows and who knows

What lurks in the gallows of my mind

I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow

Tweleve inches of non-stop sole

I'm on a roll with P, and it's time for the show

So do that, do that somebody

Wave your hands in the air

This is a motherfucking party

While you're laying back I'm on the attack paddywhack

Give yourself a bone

This is my house and I'm prone

To layin' some chrome upside some motherfuckers 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 [Repeats]
