Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My name is Prince
And I am funky
My name is Prince
The one and only
I did not come
To funk around
Till I get your daughter
I won't leave this town
[Verse 2]
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
Until He heard me sing
[Verse 3]
My name is Prince
And I am funky
My name is Prince
The one and only
Hurt me
[Verse 4]
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody (Hurt me)
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
[Verse 5]
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 two sides
And they both friends
Don't try to clock 'em
They're much too fast
If you try to stop 'em
They'll kick that ass
Without a pistol
Without a gun
When you hear my music
You'll be havin' fun
That's when I gotcha
That's when you mine
To tell the truth
Tell me, what's my line?
[Verse 6]
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)
Hurt me
[Verse 7]
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that (Funky fresh for the '90s)
Prince
[Verse 8]
My name is Prince
I don't wanna be king
'Cause I 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 today?
I ain't sayin' I'm better
No better than you
But if you want to play with me
You better learn the rules
[Verse 9]
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
To funk around (You can't stop Prince)
Till I get your daughter
I won't leave this town
[Verse 10]
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this, leave this, leave this
[Verse 11]
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 '90s
[Verse 12]
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that  (Hurt me)
[Verse 13]
The funkier I be, the funkier I get, ooh, 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 one thing, I don't play
The jock strap was too big for you anyway
You're just a simpleton, I bust you like a pimple, son
The star is too bright, boy
I'll sink you like the ship, Poseidon Adventure
You're bumpin' dentures to be cock sure
There must be more comin' from your mouth than manure
So with the flow and a spray, I say, "Hey"
You must become a Prince before you're king anyway
[Verse 14]
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody (It's time I get)
Igno-igno-igno-igno-igno-igno-ignorant
Def the beat that I'm rockin', yo, so come get a hit
And put your thinkin' cap on, you've been forewarned
I call upon the inner forces I've got brewin' in my cauldron
That means my nuggets, sometimes I'm rugged
The style I possess be havin' the other brothers buggin'
And this is for those who oppose the 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 playin' craps?
Yeah, let's get ignant in this motha
[Verse 15]
Do that, do that to somebody
Do that, do that to somebody
It's gettin' tricky, that means sticky situation
To resurrect a groove with feeling
And give it this much affection
Passion flows, who know what lurks in the gallows of my mind?
I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow
Twelve inches of non-stop soul
I'm on a roll, yo, P, it's time for the show
So do that, do that, somebody
Wave your hands in the air, this is a mothafuckin' party
While you're layin' 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 mothafucker's dome
And I'm out
[Verse 16]
My name is Prince
And I am funky
My name is Prince
The one and only
[Verse 17]
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
