1999 Lyrics - The Hits 1 - Prince

I was dreamin' when I wrote this 

Forgive me if it goes astray 

But when I woke up this mornin' 

Coulda sworn it was judgment day 

The sky was all purple, 

there were people runnin' everywhere 

Tryin' 2 run from the destruction, 

U know I didn't even care 

'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over, 

oops out of time 

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 

I was dreamin' when I wrote this 

So sue me if I go 2 fast 

But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last 

War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight 

So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight
