Prince — My Medallion

[Intro] Uh uh, mm mm Say fellas You ever have one them girls that just... bad? Nah, I ain't talkin' about fine, I'm talkin' about bad Cuss all the time, steal, man she rob her own moms Down at the post office got two pictures I'm talkin' about one of Bebe's kids, y'all - bad Hear me? Oh, she fine too Fine [Refrain] Don't know why, I want that girl Don't know why, I want that girl [Verse 1] 'Twas the middle of the summer Rather late in the day This pretty thang, she walked up to me She said she was good to play She told me to close my eyes, oh So she could get a kiss I said, "Sure, honey" and obliged Girl snatched my medallion and called me a bitch, running! [Refrain] Don't know why, I want that girl Don't know why, I want that girl [Verse 2] I found out her place of employment Dry cleaning: "We do fine" To manifest a little unenjoyment in her life Was all that was running through the middle of my mind There are many elements: wind, fire, water But none quite like the element of surprise See my baby, she gave me that medallion And it, uh, you know, it mean a lot to me So, so I walked up in that piece with a disguise on And I said, "Hey! I don't know what your name or your game is But you better get your G-hind down on the floor 'Cause you see, I'm in a mood to do something koo-koo to you" So she gave me that kiss and ran out the back door, ow! [Refrain] Don't know why, I want that girl Don't know why, but I want that girl Don't know why, I want that girl Don't know why, but I want that girl [Verse 3] Oh, turning around the corner Thought that she would get by, huh Much to her surprise Michael Yardbird dropped both his crutches downstairs Tripped baby on her backside Holdin' on the banister, sliding down slow You know he about to fall down all them stairs, yo My medallion's on the center line She dropped my piece in the middle of the street The taxi cab about to run it down (Beep beep, oh yeah) But when the bling-bling caught the driver's eyes He slammed on his brakes and jumped out his ride And as he was just about to put his fat neck up in my jewels (Uhn uhn uhn, nigga!) Yardbird bounced down the stairs of that house Crushing the bad girl like the Union Army crushed the Deep South And when the driver turned his head to get his peek on I entered at my medallion and broke the other way Sister was limpin' but she was kinda good to play [Refrain] Don't know why, I want that girl Don't know why, I want that girl Don't know why, I want that girl Don't know why, I want that girl (Don't, man) (Why)
