Текст песни Acknowledge Me - Prince

Say baby, what you waitin′ on?
For you, uh, ain't no other fish in the sea
What you waitin′ on?
Acknowledge me
Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore
I was here in the beginning and I'll be here foever more
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend
I can make you happy baby, over and over again
Saw you at the party, you were lookin′ so fly
Everybody wanted your number, you wanted mine
You came right up to me in one wink of an eye
You told me that you think of me both day and night and that is why
I′ve got to know how can you give your body to another
When your mind is here with me?
You need a friend much more than a lover
That's all I ever said I wanted to be
Acknowledge me, don′t dog me anymore (No baby)
I was here in the beginning and I'll be here forever more
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend (Oh baby)
I can make you happy baby, over and over again
I′m waitin' for the phone call, but it just don′t ring
I'm lookin' for a letter or a sign from heaven or anything
Everyday that goes by is another day I want you more
I′d give a million dollars to see you baby standin′ at my door
I'll lay you down and tell you stories
About the way that we could be
And when you′re ready to feel the glory (Feel the glory)
I will only want to love you when it's somethin′ that you need
Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (No baby)
I was here in the beginning and I′ll be here forever more
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend (Oh baby)
I can make you happy baby, over and over again
Not that care for a silly rhyme frontin' an old cliché (Yeah) (Yeah)
But look at me baby, what can I say?
There ain't another fish in the sea (Yeah)
I could be singin′ a song any style, any way
Ain′t nothin' but a trick to me (Blow)
But I′m gonna blow this horn until you're on your knees
Beggin′ me please, please, please
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme love I can count on
Gimme, gimme body I can't go without
Uh, slaves for one another (Hey!)
Yeah baby, that′s what I do believe I am talkin' about
So let me know how you wanna go? (Yeah)
You wanna get with that or this? (Yeah)
Uh, acknowledge me, baby
You got to or you can kiss
How can you give your body to another? (How can you, baby?)
When your mind is here with me (It's here with me)
You need a friend much more than a lover (you need a friend)
That′s all I ever said I wanted to be
(That′s all I ever, ever wanna be baby)
(Acknowledge me, me, me, oh yeah!)
Acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge me
Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (No baby)
I was here in the beginning and I′ll be here forever more
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend
I can make you happy baby, over and over again (And over again, Yeah)
Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (Don′t cha dog me girl)
(I'll be here, I′ll be here to wipe away your tears)
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend
(Oh, don't cha worry about a thing)
I can make you happy baby, over and over again (Oh, yeah)
Come on pretty baby, sit your butt on the chair there
And let me run a gender in and out of your hair fair
A gender for the morning, noon and night, so prepare there
You could come alone or tell a friend, I don't care bear
This a funky party so you need to be open
Givin′ up all I need so I don′t need to be hopin'
And even if we′re dealin' with that time of the month
It′s fourth and goal and I ain't about to punt
Cuz′ as soon as U be strollin' in your Lagerfeld blazer
You need to know how many ways a brother can praise ya
To bad for hell, to good to let heaven raise ya
And if you wanna see my dream, I need you for days and days
Baby doll, can you get the hell away
From that thing you call a man and then we can play
The kind of music that'll make your big butt sway
To the back, to the forth
When it′s all said a better brother should be more
Thank the Lord
Huh, for a body like that, titties swingin′ like a door
Gimme to times just to thank my Savior
Girl, what can I say, you got the crazy flavor
I'm givin′ you plenty propers so you got to score
The only one that's gonna make you holler for more
Like a whore, I′m yours
Acknowledge me, baby, what are you waiting for?
Welcome, this is where I live (fades out)
This is where I dream my dreams
Tonight we'll make love until the world stops turning
You′re small but very strong, you move like a cat
