Prince 1999 lyrics

Don't worry, I won't hurt you
I only want you to have some fun
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray

But when I woke up this mornin'
Could've sworn it was Judgment Day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere

Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care
'Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last

War is all around us, my mind says, 'Prepare to fight'
So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
(Yeah, yeah)

People, let me tell you somethin'
If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready to roar
(Yeah)

Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day
(Oh)
But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away
Oh, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(We're runnin' out of time)
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
(We gonna, we gonna, oh!)

Say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(No, no)
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
(We're gonna, we gonna)
Alright, 1999, you say it, 1999, 1999
(1999)


Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(Yeah, yeah)
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
(We gonna, we're gonna)
Yeah, 1999
(1999)

Don't you wanna go?
(1999)
Don't you wanna go?
(1999)
We could all die any day
(1999)
I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away
(1999)

Listen to what I'm tryin' to say
Everybody, everybody say party
Come on now, you say it
(Party!)
That's right, everybody say
(Party!) [unverified]

Can't run from revelation, no
Sing it for your nation, y'all
Dreamin' when you're singin', baby
Say the telephone a-ringin', mama, now

Come on, come on, you say
Everybody, two times
Work it down to the ground, I'm sayin'
(Oh baby, say it again)
(Oh, shake your body, baby!)

That's right, come on, sing the song
That's right, everybody say
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say
Ah, and he's ready to roar, yeah

Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
