Slave Lyrics - Prince

CHORUS: 

Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart 

Everybody except 4 me 

I just want a chance 2 play the part 

The part of someone truly free 

Like candle slowly burning, I can feel my world unravel 

Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul 

My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel 

And judging me accordingly, I know, I know 

CHORUS 

Hey! {x3} 

Oh

Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did 

Merrily down 3 heartbreak boulevards 

Like fashion statements, they lie "U be lookin' so good 2night, kid" 

I do my best 2 party, it's just that everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart 

(CHORUS) 

Except 4 me (Except 4 me) 

I just want a chance 2 play 

(Just wanna be free) 

Slowly candle burns, where'd they learn hypnosis? 

How'd they keep me under 4 so long? 

Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest 

I need their kind 2 illustrate what's wrong - what's wrong? 

Well, I'll tell U they just keep tryin' 2 break my heart (CHORUS) 

They just keep tryin' 2 break my heart, ow! 

(Everybody) {x2} 

CHORUS 

But I can't let U break my heart
