Prince and the Revolution — Hello

[Intro] Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello [Verse 1] I tried to tell them that I didn't want to sing But I'd gladly write a song instead They said okay and everything was cool 'Til a camera tried to get in my bed [Refrain] Hello, my bed, hello, hello [Verse 2] I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling") When this man tries to get in the car ("'Ey Prince, c'mon, give us a smile eh?") No introduction, "How you been?" Just "Up yours, smile, that's right, you're a star!" (Star) You call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends I guess I'm used to havin' 'em around And cameras by nature like rewards That's the trouble I get when I'm Uptown I'm not afraid to die (Don't be afraid) Oh no, there's a better place ('Cuz there's a better place to go) I eat what I want (U can eat what U want) Whole wheat toast (Anything is cool in moderation) And I'm happy, and that's for sure We're against hungry children Our record stands tall There's just as much hunger here at home We'll do what we can If y'all try and understand A flower that has water will grow And the child misunderstood will go [Refrain] Hello, hello, hello, hello Everybody we're against hungry children Our record stands tall There's just as much hunger here at home We'll do what we can If y'all try and understand A flower that has water will grow And the child misunderstood will go Our record stands tall, u know Give us time and love will show Hello Hello Hello
