Acknowledge Me by Prince

Hey! {"cross the line" sample}
{"down on it" repeats in bg}

Say baby, what u waitin' on?
4 u, uh, ain't no other fish in the sea
What u waitin' on?
Acknowledge me

Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore
I was here in the beginning and i'll be here 4ever more
Acknowledge me, i only wanna be your friend
I can make u happy baby, over and over again

Saw u at the party, u were lookin' so fly
Everybody wanted your number, u wanted mine
U came right up 2 me in one wink of an eye
U told me that u think of me both day and night and that is why

I've got 2 know how can u give your body 2 another
When your mind is here with me?
U need a friend much more than a lover
That's all i ever said i wanted 2 be

Chorus:
Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (no baby)
I was here in the beginning and i'll be here 4ever more
Acknowledge me, i only wanna be your friend (oh baby)
I can make u happy baby, over and over again

I'm waitin' 4 the phone call, but it just don't ring
I'm lookin' 4 a letter or a sign from heaven or anything
Everyday that goes by is another day i want u more
I'd give a million dollars 2 see u baby standin' at my door

I'll lay u down and tell u stories
About the way that we could be
And when u're ready 2 feel the glory (feel the glory)
I will only want 2 love u when it's somethin' that u need

Chorus

Not that u care 4 a silly rhyme frontin' an old cliché (yeah) (yeah)
But look at me baby, what can i say?
There ain't another fish in the sea (yeah)
I could be singin' a song any style, any way
Ain't nothin' but a trick 2 me (blow)
But i'm gonna blow this horn until u're on your knees
Beggin' me please, please, please
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme love i can count on
Gimme, gimme body i can't go without
Uh, slaves 4 one another (hey!)
Yeah baby, that's what i do believe i am talkin' about
So let me know how u wanna go? (yeah)
U wanna get with that or this? (yeah)
Uh, acknowledge me, baby
U got 2 or u can.. kiss..

How can u give your body 2 another? (how can u, baby?)
When your mind is here with me (it's here with me)
U need a friend much more than a lover (u need a friend)
That's all i ever said i wanted 2 be
(that's all i ever, ever wanna be baby)
(acknowledge me, me, me, oh yeah!)
Acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge me

Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (no baby)
I was here in the beginning and i'll be here 4ever more
Acknowledge me, i only wanna be your friend
I can make u happy baby, over and over again (and over again,
Yeah)

Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (don't cha dog me girl)
(i'll be here, i'll be here 2 wipe away your tears)
Acknowledge me, i only wanna be your friend
(oh, don't cha worry about a thing)
I can make u happy baby, over and over again (oh, yeah)

Come on pretty baby, sit your butt on the chair there
And let me run a gender in and out of your hair fair
A gender 4 the morning, noon and night, so prepare there
U could come alone or tell a friend, i don't care bear
This a funky party so u need 2 be open
Givin' up all i need so i don't need 2 be hopin'
And even if we're dealin' with that time of the month
It's 4th and goal and i ain't about 2 punt
Cuz as soon as u be strollin' in your lagerfeld blazer
U need 2 know how many ways a brother can praise ya
2 bad 4 hell, 2 good 2 let heaven raise ya
And if u wanna see my dream, i need u 4 days and days
Baby doll, can u get the hell away
From that thing u call a man and then we can play
The kind of music that'll make your big butt sway
2 the back, 2 the forth
When it's all said a better brother should be more
Thank the lord
Huh, 4 a body like that, titties swingin' like a door
Gimme 2 times just 2 thank my savior
Girl, what can i say, u got the crazy flavor
I'm givin' u plenty propers so u got 2 score
The only one that's gonna make u holler 4 more
Like a whore, i'm yours
Acknowledge me, baby, what are u waiting 4?

{"down on it" repeats in bg}
Welcome, this is where i live {fades out}
This is where i dream my dreams
2night we'll make love until the world stops turning
U're small but very strong, u move like a cat
