Lyrics of 'The Voice Inside' by Prince

[Aren't U a French cook?]
Or would U rather have the water?
Come on!
Hey! Ooh!

Come and take my coffee
If I couldn't have one out of 7 cups
U need 2 packs of cigarettes a day
2 packs 2 much
Open up a window
Cuss the whole world if U please
When the day comes no one listens
Get down on your knees

CHORUS:
U prayed the voice inside it don't tell
Pray the reason 2 be, don't tell
Listen 2 what it's sayin'
Picture one more day
Make a different play
Cuz it's your play, it's your play

La! Ooh!
Listen!

Don't go and take my word about it
My rep is cut and dry
I'd walk a thousand crooked roads
I'm standing on the line
Yeah, don't be my [underdog]
I never close my eyes
Never have I stopped listening 2 the voice inside

CHORUS
(Oh, it's my play now)
La! Ooh!
Say it

Maybe we'd all be better off, listen 2 the voice inside
U listen 2 the voice inside

Take another piece of candy
Have a hundred if U like
There's no crime
No way man, I'm gonna bring U this bike
Just don't U cry, just don't U cry
Don't need this, listen 2 the voice inside

U prayed the voice inside it don't tell
Pray the reason 2 be, don't tell
Listen 2 what it's sayin'
Picture one more day
Maybe we could all just listen unto the voice inside
The good one, not the evil one
We could all take this mutha higher, higher, higher, higher!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
The voice inside {x2}
Come on!
Now come on and shout it out!
The voice inside
I want 2 shout it out!
The voice inside
U got 2 shout it out!
The voice inside
I want 2 shout it out!
Shout it out!
I want 2 shout it out! (The voice inside)
The voice inside
Oh yeah

(Down on your knees)
(Pray it don't stop)
(Down on your knees)
(Pray it don't stop) {x2}
