Prince - Strange But True lyrics

U're the only one that I gave it 2, the one I fantasized 4

And time away from U has taught me

What I should have known

This hole I'm trying 2 fill with another - yeah, it's grown

And I got your package

But when I tried 2 write U back I bailed

See, tryin' 2 express the future, sometimes language fails

And over this time I've learned

My life force is increased by knowing U

Every door that closes, another one opens

Strange but true {x2}

But no regrets because I forget the unfamiliar faces

Those petty lies and alibis, just golddiggers chasin'

Dreams of sovereignty, they tried 2 come between U and me

A curse therein set forth a chain of events

That only freed me when I remembered

Where I was and who I am:

The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land

All understand and all stand under this affirmation now:

By the power invested in me by God

All negativity bows

Strange but true, let's see what U can do

U may have lost me, uh, but I found myself

The ones who love me without condition - this is my wealth

And with these words I will win

Repeat them over and over again:

All understand and all stand under this affirmation now

By the power invested in me by God

All negativity bows {x3}

Strange but true, let's see what U can do {x2}

All negativity bows

Strange but true {x3}

All negativity bows

Strange but true, let's see what U can do

All negativity bows {x2}

Strange but true {x5
