Testo di 'Melody Cool (Extended Remix)' di Prince

Melody {sampled and repeated}
In my life...
Melody Cool
Long before U
(What?) I'm Melody Cool
Ow!
(Melody) (Oh!) {repeated in background}
They call me Melody Cool
I was here long before U
If U're good I will love ya but I'm nobody's fool
I'm Melody Cool

When I was born there were tidal waves
Whole town went under, nobody saved
At every funeral it rained
Every time I sang - Melody Cool

La da da da da da da da da {x2}
I have been here much longer, longer than U (Longer than U)
I'm Melody Cool (Cool)

Well now, everybody runnin' 'round talkin' 'bout saving souls
When they know good and plenty well
They got enough trouble trying 2 save their own (Well, that's alright!)
(Uh huh, say it, say it, girl)
Don't want it, don't want it

Every woman and every man
One day they just got 2 understand
That if we play in the same key everything would be Melody Cool

(What's your name?)
New Power wave your hand
Everybody sing all across the land
Say hey hey hey (Hey hey hey) {x2}
Everybody say hey hey hey (Hey hey hey)
They call me Melody Cool

Ow! (Hark, Melody!)
Looka here, young'un
Let me give U a piece of good advice
And I do get paid for counseling, huh
But I'm gonna give U this freebie
I've seen a many bridges in my time
And crossed every one of 'em with no trouble at all (yeah {x7})
I had trials and tribulations
Heartaches and pains
Survived 'em all baby
Hmph, I'm still Melody, and I'm still cool
But U see, huh
U ain't nothin' but the children
And U don't want nobody tellin' U nothin'
U think U just know it all
But I... I listened 2 my elders
I listened 2 my mother, my father
I listened 2 the next door neighbor's mother and father
(Huh, what's your name?)
And if U say it right, I could learn something from U (I don't think so)
Said that is why, that's why I'm Melody Cool
That's where I, that's where I got my name, U see
And I'm, I'm, I'm, I travel, I been all over the world, baby
And I'm still humble
It ain't no big I's and little U's in my life
So that's why U see they call me Melody Cool (Melody Cool)
I was here long before U (Long before U)
If U're good I will love U but I'm nobody's fool (What?)
I'm Melody Cool
Ow!

(Melody Cool)
(Long before U)
(Well)

I've seen a many bridges in my time
And crossed every one of 'em with no trouble at all (yeah {x7})
I had trials and tribulations
Heartaches and pains
Survived 'em all baby
Hmph, I'm still Melody, and I'm still cool
