[Verse 1]
I'm not a woman
I'm not a man
I am something that you'll never understand
I'll never beat you
I never lie
And if you're evil I'll forgive you by and by, 'cause...

[Chorus]
You: I would die for you, yeah
Darling, if you want me to
You: I would die for you

[Verse 2]
I'm not your lover
I'm not your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend
No need to worry
No need to cry
I'm your messiah, and you're the reason why, 'cause...

[Chorus]
You: I would die for you, yeah
Darling, if you want me to
You: I would die for you, woo!

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
You're just a sinner, I am told
Be your fire when you're cold
Make you happy when you're sad
Make you good when you are bad
I'm not a human
I am a dove
I'm your conscience
I am love
All I really need is to know that you believe

[Chorus]
Yeah, I would die for you, yeah
Darling, if you want me to
You: I would die for you
Yeah, say one more time
You: I would die for you
Darling, if you want me to
You: I would die for you
2, 3, 4, you!

[Outro]
I would, die for, you
I would, die for, you
You: I would, die for, you
You: I would, die for, you

Prince and the Revolution

“The Revolution” was originally the live backing band for Prince in the early years of his career. They first appeared in a studio capacity on 1999, but it wasn’t until 1984’s Purple Rain when they were officially credited. The band is noted for its diverse range of musicians, which wasn’t very common in the 1980s and inspired by what Sly Stone did with The Family Stone.

The most famous line-up consisted of Prince on lead vocals, guitar, and piano, Wendy Melvoin on guitar and vocals, Brown Mark on bass guitar and vocals, Lisa Coleman on keyboards, piano, and vocals, Matt “Doctor” Fink on keyboards and vocals, and Bobby Z on drums and percussion. The last albums where the Revolution was credited was 1985’s Around the World In A Day & 1986’s Parade.
