Prince - Acknowledge Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Hey! ["Cross The Line" sample]
"Down on it" [repeats in BG]
Say baby, what U waiting on?
For you, uh, ain't no other fish in the sea
What U waiting on?
Acknowledge me

[Chorus]
Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore
I was here in the beginning and I'll be here forever more
Acknowledge me, I only want to be your friend
I can make you happy baby, over and over again

[Verse 1]
Saw you at the party, you were looking so fly
Everybody wanted your number, you wanted mine
You came right up to me in one wink of an eye
You told me that you think of me both day and night and that is why
I've got to know how can you give your body to another
When your mind is here with me?
You need a friend much more than a lover
That's all I ever said I wanted to be

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I'm waiting for the phone call, but it just don't ring
I'm looking for a letter or a sign from heaven or anything
Everyday that goes by is another day I want you more
I'd give a million dollars to see you baby standing at my door
I'll lay you down and tell you stories
About the way that we could be
And when you are ready to feel the glory (Feel the glory)
I will only want to love you when it's something that you need

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Not that you care for a silly rhyme fronting an old cliche (Yeah) (Yeah)
But look at me baby, what can I say?
There ain't another fish in the sea (Yeah)
I could be singing a song any style, any way
Ain't nothing but a trick to me (Blow)
But I'm going to blow this horn until you are on your knees
Begging me please, please, please
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme love I can count on
Gimme, gimme body I can't go without
Uh, slaves for one another (Hey!)
Yeah baby, that's what I do believe I am talking about
So let me know how you want to go? (Yeah)
U want to get with that or this? (Yeah)
Uh, acknowledge me, baby
You got to or you can.. kiss
How can you give your body to another? (How can you, baby?)
When your mind is here with me (It's here with me)
You need a friend much more than a lover (you need a friend)
That's all I ever said I wanted to be
(That's all I ever, ever want to be baby)
(Acknowledge me, me, me, oh yeah!)
Acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge me

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 4]
Come on pretty baby, sit your butt on the chair there
And let me run agenda in and out of your hair fair
Agenda for the morning, noon and night, so prepare there
You could come alone or tell a friend, I don't care bear
This a funky party so you need to be open
Giving up all I need so I don't need to be hoping
And even if we're dealing with that time of the month
It's 4th and goal and I ain't about to punt
Cuz as soon as U be strolling in your Lagerfeld blazer
You need to know how many ways a brother can praise you
To bad for hell, to good to let heaven raise you
And if you want to see my dream, I need you for days and days
Baby doll, can you get the hell away
From that thing you call a man and then we can play
The kind of music that'll make your big butt sway
To the back, to the forth
When it's all said a better brother should be more
Thank the Lord
Huh, for a body like that, titties swinging like a door
Gimme to times just to thank my Savior
Girl, what can I say, you got the crazy flavor
I'm giving you plenty propers so you got to score
The only one that's going to make you holler for more
Like a whore, I'm yours
Acknowledge me, baby, what are you waiting for?

[Outro]
"Down on it" [repeats in BG]
Welcome, this is where I live [fades out]
This is where I dream my dreams
Tonight we'll make love until the world stops turning
You are small but very strong, you move like a cat
