[Verse 1]
You do not understand my quirky ways
My crazy logic leaves you in a daze
You think my neurosis is just a phase
You've got a wonderful ass

[Chorus]
You're so wonderful
Wonderful
You're so wonderful
(You've got a wonderful ass)

[Verse 2]
You think that all my friends are my bedmates
True love before sex you just can't relate
My sensibilities you aggravate
You've got a wonderful ass

[Chorus]
You're so wonderful
Wonderful
You're so wonderful
(You've got a wonderful ass)

[Bridge]
Listen:
Educate
Tolerate
Negotiate
Communicate
Litigate
Graduate
Appreciate
Separate
Interrogate
Violate
Fluctuate
Perpetrate
Masturbate
Stimulate, stimulate, stimulate

[Verse 3]
You say that you love me, it don't do no good
You want me to trust you, I wish that I could
You cannot build a house with plastic wood
You've got a wonderful ass

[Chorus]
You're so wonderful
Wonderful
You're so wonderful
(You've got a wonderful ass)
You've got a wonderful, wonderful ass
You're so wonderful
Wonderful
You're so wonderful
(You've got a wonderful ass)
You've got a wonderful, wonderful ass

[Spoken Interlude]
I guess what it is is that I hate your ideas of fun (Oh yeah?)
But baby I rate your ass number one
I don't usually have time to drink from your glass
But I can always find time for your ass
You know what I'm talkin' about baby?
(Yeah)
I'm talkin about that... ass (ew)
(Sexy in here, yeah)

The Revolution will be heard!
The Revolution will be heard!

You're so wonderful!
You're so wonderful!
You've got a wonderful ass (You've got a wonderful ass)

[Modified Verse 1]
You do not understand my quirky ways
Girl, you've got a wonderful
You've got a wonderful
You've got a wonderful, wonderful ass

You don't understand my quirky ways, yeah
(You don't understand my quirky ways, but..)
My crazy logic leaves you in a daze
(You're in a daze, oh I like that ass)
But you've got that wonderful ass

[Modified Verse 2]
Baby, you think all my friends are my bedmates, yeah
(Well, you sleep around all the time)
Hey now baby, true love before sex you can't relate, yeah (True true love)
But you've got that wonderful ass, babe
My sensibilities you aggravate (I understand)
(You try to fuck for love)
You, why can't, can't you relate, yeah
You've got a wonderful ass

[Outro]
I like it (I like it)
I said I like it (Said I like it)
Wonderful
You know I like that ass (Really?)

“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.
