1999 by Prince

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’ coulda 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

'Coz they say two thousand 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 two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999, yeah

Lemme tell ya 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
But before I’ll let that happen, I’ll dance my life away

They say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time, we’re runnin’ outta time
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999, say it one more time

Two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time, no, no
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999

Alright, it’s 1999, you say it, 1999,1999, 1999
Don’t stop, don’t stop
Say it one more time

Two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time, no, no
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999

Yeah, 1999
Don’tcha wanna go? 1999
Don’tcha wanna go? 1999

We could all die any day
I don’t wanna die, I’d rather dance my life away
Listen to what I’m tryin’ to say

Everybody, everybody say party
C’mon now, you say party
That’s right, everybody say
Party, can’t run from the revelation, no
Party, sing it for your nation y’all
Party, tell me what you’re singin’, baby say
Party, telephone’s a-ringin’, mama

Party, c’mon, c’mon, you say
Party, everybody two times
Party, work it down to the ground
Sayin' party
Party, come on, take my body, baby
Party, that’s right, c’mon, sing the song
Party

Party, that’s right
Party, got a lion in my pocket mama, say
Party, oh, and he’s ready to roar

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