Lyrics of 1999 (Edit) by Prince
verse
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morning
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
verse
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from my destruction
You know I didn't even care
chorus
Say, say 2,000-00 party over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
verse
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
verse
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
chorus
Yeah, they say 2,000-00 party over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah, yeah
verse
Let me 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, yeah
verse
Everybody's got a bomb
We could all die here today, aw
But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away, oh
chorus
They say 2,000-00 party over
Oops, out of time, we're runnin' outta time
So tonight (tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999), ow
Say it one more time
chorus
2,000-00 party over
Oops, out of time
Yeah, yeah, so tonight (tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999), we gonna, whoa!
outro
1999, don'tcha wanna go?
1999, oh, don'tcha wanna go?
1999, oh, we could all die any day
1999, I don't wanna die, I wanna dance-
Writer(s): Prince Rogers Nelson
