"The Word" Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince

(Let's go)
What is this new exaltation
That I just can't explain?
What r these new inspirations
That I can't get outta my brain?
How am I gonna sleep with this feeling
Rushing all through my veins?

Get up, come on let's do something
Don't U wanna go get saved?
The night is calling U 2 act
Act upon every urge
U can't get no satisfaction
If U ain't got the courage

I don't know what U're afraid of
I don't know what U've heard
Get up, come on let's do something
Don't U wanna know the word?

Chorus:
Who's gonna save us when them spiders get next 2 U?
Spinning their sticky webs around what U do?
(We gotta) safeguard against forked tongue and the treachery of the wicked 1

Get up, come on let's do something
Don't matter how far U have 2
The truth has got 2 be told
Don't matter how shiny your lips
They'll never be streets of gold
They might try 2 get us crazy
Cuz they don't know what I've heard
We got this new exaltation
I'm talking about the word

Chorus

(Next 2 U, next 2 U)
(What U do, yeah)
(Forked tongue)
(Wicked 1)
Get up, come on let's do something
No reason 2 feel this pain
Get up, come on let's do something
Come on, go, let's get saved
{repeat}
Get up, come on let's do something {x4}
Don't U wanna hear the word?
