Prince - Man'o'war Lyrics

I’m feelin’ that one

Glad cause most eh its made up Prince

Lyrically and stylistcally genuis

Still one of my favorite Prince songs... It's still hard to believe we don't have him anymore and I'm sad about it!!

The man is beyond amazing!!! This song is just fabulous

How could u think that I could put something inside of someone that I put inside u, inside u
Even if I tried 2, tried 2
I couldn't cause I still smell like the last time that we.....,
Lol Only Prince can write these lyrics lol!

I listened to this nearly every day for a whole month after my Marriage ended - he captured everything I was feeling 💜

When I first heard it ..I couldn't stop playing it ..it was my choice so don't blame me

Prince at his royal badness , why u screaming u know i,m not a man o war, break the gold chain i gave u. Classic jam.

"I need to feel wanted again. I need to feel love is alive"

I love this song.

Why u screaming
U know I'm not a man o war
Break the gold chain that I gave u
Throw it down on the floor
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me you should go get her
But loving u, loving u, loving u is a waste of time
Oh yes it is...A waste of time...

I need 2 get out of this city
I need 2 get u out of my head
I need 2 get away from the words that u said 2 me
Why u screaming
U know I'm not a man o war
How could u think that I could put something inside of someone that I put inside u, inside u
Even if I tried 2, tried 2
I couldn't cause I still smell like the last time that we
Loving u, loving u, loving u is a waste of time
Oh yes it is...Loving u is a waste of time

I need 2 feel wanted again
I need 2 feel love is alive
I need 2 hear u say that u ain't looking 4 another reason 2 make me cry
Why u screaming
U know I'm not a man o war
I've been trying 2 make u happy baby
Every since we were sophomores
Loving u, loving u, loving u is a waste of time
Oh yes it is...Oh a waste of time, waste of time, waste of time

There is no future
There is no past
All we've got is right now
Oh let's make it last
Why u screaming
U know I'm not of man o war
Break the gold chain that I gave u
Throw it down on the floor
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me you should go get her
Loving u, loving u, loving u is a waste of time...

I need 2 get out this city
I need 2 get u out of my head
I need 2 get away from the things words that u said to me
I need 2 feel wanted again
I need 2 feel no sin...hear me

Why u screaming
U know I'm not a man o war
Break the gold chain that I gave u
Throw it down on the floor
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me you should go get her
Loving u, loving u, loving u is a waste of time...

U KNOW I'M NOT A MAN O WAR...

This is a MUSIC...from future!!!

One of the best-placed guitar solos EVER. He had such a talent for arrangement, IN ADDITION to his talents in songwriting, singing and musicianship. He was truly the consummate Musician!

My dude since I was a youngster I'm sure he sung this in concert I got to see him live wahhhhhh man o war. Facts

Why U screaming?
U know I'm not a man of war

But loving U, loving U, loving U
Is a waste of time

U know I'm not a man of war

I need to get out of this city
I need to get you outta my head.......

We have all been down that road!

Prince's lyrics captures the emotions of whatever time he's telling about without being crude, that was also part of his GENIUS.

This song may be in my top 10 fav prince songs of all time.

I have no words

HE WAS SMALL IN SIZE,BUT HIS VOICE WAS VERY BIG LIKE THUNDER

✌ and 💘 4 1 another☺☺🌴🌴

Waist of time, sang Prince, u heard what he said, let d man have a piece of mind☺☺!

Y u screaming! U heard what he said, he is not a "Man o War"🌴🌴

Beautiful, sang Prince, ahhh, what a genius," Man O War"💘 💘 💘!

I'm digging this jam! Prince vocal range is ridiculous! Man was God's gift to music

A Prince gem.

The range the tone.melody what can i say talent simple ...xx

I couldn't resist NOT bumpin' dis on my way 2 work.

Been trying to make u happy since we were sophomores....... my friends told me u should go get her ... but loving u’s a waste of time I need to get u out of my mind ... my Lord .. only prince

Loving you is a waste of time.😇😇

The Purple one delivers this exquisite ballad with some mean guitar I'll write a review soon

Im not a wemon of war , I am a wemon of true n pure love, I love u , n never would i want to be awaist of your time..come get me baby , my heart is on my sleeve, waiting for you only!

Thanks so much. Ive been looking for this one

This vocal arrangement he did is so Prince and makes different from avarage R&B songs nowadays.

One of my favorites, i love everything about this song...lyrics, arrangement, composition 💜💜💜
Having lived this song, the emotion in the chords and the guitar riffs at the end make me cry almost every time, beautiful!

Anguish. Love, pride, wantonness, self preservation, humanity

Can't get enough of what ever this man sings....4ever Prince 💜💜💜💜💜

songs 4 the soul this is 1 of his

This is good too

no argument there

this song makes me nervous.

Prince at his best ❤️

Oh!! Another amazing song!

Underrated. If any other artist sang this. This would be a hit. His vocal range is so good. So much soul

I think the whole album was underserved by the lead single. There are so many good songs on the album, but Prince just had to release that revenge song.

Hamish Downie you're right, the album has gems. This, Eye Love U, Wherever You Go would've been better singles. On the other hand perhaps Prince was just saving the best for his true fans 😉😊

Rave is a very good album - Sun Moon & Stars is another track I love off it.

That vocal range!

This used to be my jam and perhaps it still is. Love and miss you Prince! 💜💜💜

mmmmm oh lawd 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

i love u..

Lawd this man and his lyrics!💯💋💜💜💜

heeeeeeey Ebony true lyrics of love

Wonder want this song about.

Audrey Quaye that when p filed for divorce

Tandy listen to d lyrics, it will tell u,☺

He loves this woman but she's giving him the run around, playing with his emotions,but he will get her attention without yelling n fighting

@Patricia Holt facts..

But Prince was cheating. Man, anyone who devoted the entire second disc of Emancipation to his wife should've sucked it up and. returned 2 her. Didn't happen, though.

Lived through this...felt it with my soul. For real

💋 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Omg I just got chills i'am about to😢 I can relate to this song true story

My joint! Thank U.

"Loving you was a waste of time".

Watch who you love ,the more time bigger the hurt when things don't work out.....been there done that. God bless 🙏😇❣️

@Magellanic Light so true

Perfection, his voice layering is out of this world.
