Prince - The Same December lyrics

One side was black and the other one white

And they both understood so little

That they spent their whole lives tryin' 2 tell each other what time it was

When all along it did not matter what either said because, because

CHORUS:

U only know what U know

U only see what your heart will show

U only love when your soul remembers

We all come from the same December

And in the end, that's where we'll go

So let's go!

Ooh yeah, oh yeah

There once was a golden idol that went 2 the winners

Needless 2 say it didn't make 'em feel any less a sinner

Cuz the very next mornin' the whole damn world was the same

Yes it was

The idol still shinin', but the voice inside it said

"There ain't no winners in this game"

CHORUS

Hey!

There once was an angel who most certainly watched over me

But if it got me through the day, is it crazy?

Yeah, I'll be crazy

Until the demons fall as far as anyone can fall

When they reap what they done sowed, I'll be standin' tall

We spend our whole lives tryin' 2 dog the other man

When what we need 2 do is try 2 give him all we can

But uh.. U only know what U know

And uh.. U only see what your heart'll show

And uh.. U only love when your soul remembers

We all come from the same December

And in the end, that's where we'll go

So let's go!

Let's go
