"Strange But True" Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince

Okay, let me say this quick — before I start 2 cry
U're the only one that I gave it 2, the one I fantasized 4
And time away from U has taught me
What I should have known
This hole I'm trying 2 fill with another — yeah, it's grown
And I got your package
But when I tried 2 write U back I bailed
See, tryin' 2 express the future, sometimes language fails
And over this time I've learned
My life force is increased by knowing U
Every door that closes, another one opens

Strange but true {x2}

But no regrets because I forget the unfamiliar faces
Those petty lies and alibis, just golddiggers chasin'
Dreams of sovereignty, they tried 2 come between U and me
A curse therein set forth a chain of events
That only freed me when I remembered
Where I was and who I am:
The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land

All understand and all stand under this affirmation now:
By the power invested in me by God
All negativity bows

Strange but true, let's see what U can do

U may have lost me, uh, but I found myself
The ones who love me without condition — this is my wealth
And with these words I will win
Repeat them over and over again:
All understand and all stand under this affirmation now
By the power invested in me by God

All negativity bows {x3}

Strange but true, let's see what U can do {x2}
All negativity bows

Strange but true {x3}

All negativity bows
Strange but true, let's see what U can do

All negativity bows {x2}

Strange but true {x5}
