Lyrics Willing and Able (Edit) - 2023 Remaster - Prince

Said I'm willin' and I'm able
I'm ready to place my cards on the table
I've been holdin' back this feelin' for far too long
Now that I'm willin', it's a fact
Is truly mighty strong
Like a child lost in the wilderness
'Til I reach my destination, I won't rest

'Cause I'm willin' (willin')
And I'm able (able)
I'm ready to place my cards on the table (table)

There are some kings in my deck, and a queen or two
So you know there ain't nothin'
Nothin' that I wouldn't do (nothin' that I wouldn't do)
It was a long time coming
But now that it's here
All the non-believers better fear me

'Cause I'm willin' (willin' and able)
And I'm able (shoo-doo-doo)
I got good and plenty cards
To place on the table (table)

I've been holdin' back this feeling for far too long
(holdin' back this feeling for far too long)
Now that I'm willing, (this feelin') this feelin'
It's truly mighty strong (truly, woo, I, I)

I'm willing (willin')
Able (able)
My vision is all clear, I'm feelin' kinda stable
You know I am, you know I am
Ready to whisper (whisper, whatcha say?)
Ready to shout (shout, now whatcha say?)
Ready to scream (scream, now whatcha say?)
Highest mountain top (whatcha say? Whatcha say?)

Oh, Lord, I'm willing and able (willin')
I wanna dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing

Oh (willin')
Oh (able)
Oh (willin' and able)

Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (bring it to me)

Let me take a bite
To see if you're ripe
I'm kinda thinkin' about
Takin' a hunk, chunk a piece of your love tonight

Well hello, MC T on a mellow swing low to the tempo
As I flow on a roll here we go, willing and able, to start the show right
With that type of hype
I lay my cards on the table tonight
Don't take me light, my flow hits you just like a lead pipe
While I'm clockin' you, just say 'fuss about the boots I'm knockin'
It ain't like that
But somethin' to keep the Jimmy so get off my back
In fact, you lack the knack step back before I show you how a fool acts, baby
