Strange Relationship - Prince

Album: Sign o' the Times

genre: Pop

I guess you know me well, I don’t like winter
But I seem to get a kick out of doing you cold
Oh, what the hell, you always surrender
What’s this strange relationship that we hold on to?
Baby I just can’t stand to see you happy
More than that I hate to see you sad
Honey if you left me I just might do something rash
What’s this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)
I came and took your love, I took your body
I took all the self-respect you ever had
I took you for a ride and baby I’m sorry
The more you love me sugar, the more it makes me mad

Baby I just can’t stand to see you happy
More than that I hate to see you sad
Honey if you left me I just might do something rash
What’s this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

Isn’t it a shame this ain’t a movie
Then you could rewrite my every line
I’ll take all the blame, yo baby I’m sorry
But I didn’t like the way you were, so I had to make you mine

Baby I just can’t stand to see you happy
More than that I hate to see you sad
Honey if you left me I just might do something rash
What’s this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

Mmmmm, my strange relationship
Can’t live with you can’t live without you
What it’s all about..
Do you know? (strange relationship)
I think you and I got a (strange relationship)
What’s this strange relationship?
Yeah, yeah
