Lyrics of 1999 by Prince
intro
Don't worry, I won't hurt you
I only want you to have some fun
verse
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could've sworn it was judgment day
verse
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care
chorus
Say say
Two-thousand-zero-zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
verse
(I was dreaming' when I wrote this)
(So sue me if I go too fast)
(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
chorus
They say two-thousand-zero-zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah, Yeah
verse
Lemme tell ya something
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, yeah
Everybody's got a bomb
We could all die any day
Ooow
But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away
chorus
Oh, they say
Two thousand-zero-zero-party over
Oops out of time
We're runnin' outta time
(Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna
(Party like it's 1999)
We gonna, oww
chorus
Say it 1 more time
Two-thousand-zero-zero party over oops
Out of time
No, no (Tonight I'm gonna)
Yeah, yeah
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)
We gonna, oww
bridge
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
Yeah, yeah (Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)
We gonna, oww
hook
Yeah
Don'tcha wanna go (1999)
Don'tcha wanna go (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I don't wanna die
I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
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, get down (Party)
Work it down to the ground, say (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 (Party)
outro
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb
Writer(s): Prince Rogers Nelson
