Prince – White Mansion lyrics

Big white mansion
Top of the road
Latest fashion
Happy, don't you know?
Here I am in New York, yeah
See the girl bold and fair ("Yo, Anita!") [Martin sample]
What's in your backpack 2day?
Will it take my blues away?
That's ok, "U gotta run..."
Huh, check it, I don't need you 2 have some fun
Comin' from the land of snow
I guess I'm kinda used 2 cold

But one day I'll have a big white mansion
At the top of the road
I'm gonna wear the latest fashion
I'm gonna be happy, don't you know?

I could use a new guitar
Sing a tune at Chazz' bar
Maybe meet a debutante
Be a toy, do what she want (Tell me what you wanna do?)
9 o'clock, see John K.
"But U don't rock, come another day" (When?)
Come another day
Spirit so low reachin' up 4 ground (Reachin' up 4 ground)
One day I'm gonna make it in this lonely town

Then I'll live in a big white mansion
At the top of the road
I'm gonna wear the latest fashion
Then I'll be happy, don't you know?

Hey there, what's your name? (What's your name, cutie?)
And can you tell me how 2 play the game? ("I am a winner") (Listen 2 this)
Do I really have 2 cut my hair? (No)
Now, that's a cross I could never bear (How 'bout them publishing rights?)
Sell my publishing? What a laugh! (Ha ha)
I don't know Bo, but I do know math (I do know math)
Back 2 Minneapolis, there you go
You can't find your house underneath the snow

Cuz U're livin' in a big white mansion (Oh yes)
At the top of the road
U're wearin' the latest fashion
Tryin' 2 be happy, don't you know? (Tryin' 2 be happy, happy)

Big white, big white mansion (Big white mansion)
At the top of the road
You and me wearin' Versace, Gucci (Latest fashion)
Hoochies, they all wanna do me (Happy, don't you know?)
But am I really happy?
Big white mansion
Yeah, maybe one day

("Yo, Anita!") [Martin sample]
("Yo, check out that ass!")
