Lyrics White Mansion - Prince

White Mansion

Big white mansion
Top of the road
Latest fashion
Happy, don’t u know?
Here i am in new york, yeah
See the girl bold and fair («yo, anita!»)
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 u 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 u 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 u 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 u know?
Hey there, what’s your name?
(what's your name, cutie?)
And can u 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 u go
U 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 u know?
(tryin'2 be happy, happy)
Big white, big white mansion (big white mansion)
At the top of the road
U and me wearin’versace, gucci (latest fashion)
Hoochies, they all wanna do me (happy, don’t u know?)
But am i really happy?
Big white mansion
Yeah, maybe one day
(«yo, anita!»)
(«yo, check out that ass!»)
