Prince and the New Power Generation
Willing and Able (Video Version)
[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three
[Verse 1: Prince]
Said I'm willing and I'm able
I'm ready to place my cards on the table
I've been holding back this feeling
For far too long
Now that I'm willing, its effect
Is truly mighty strong
Like a child lost in the wilderness
Till I reach my destination, I won't rest
[Chorus: Prince]
'Cause I'm willing (Willing)
And I'm able (Able)
I'm ready to place my cards on the table (Table)
[Verse 2: Prince]
There's some kings in my deck, sugar, and a queen or two
So you know there ain't nothing
Nothing that I wouldn't do (Nothing that I won't do)
It was a long time coming
But now that It's here
All the non-believers better fear me
[Chorus: Prince]
'Cause I'm willing (Willing and able)
And I'm able (Shoo-doo-doo)
I got good and plenty cards
To place on the table (Table)
[Interlude: Prince]
Been holding back this feeling for far too long
(Been holding back this feeling for far too long)
Now that I'm I've got this feeling (This feeling)
This feeling is truly mighty strong (Truly, I... I)
I'm willing (Willing)
And able (Able)
My vision is all clear
I'm feeling kinda stable
You know I am, you know I am
I'm ready to whisper (Whisper, what you say)
Ready to shout (Shout, now what you say)
Ready to scream (Scream, now what you say)
From the highest, highest, highest (What you say, what you say)
Lord, I'm willing and able
I wanna dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing
[Bridge: Prince]
(Willing)
(Able)
(Willing and able)
(Willing and able)
Alright
Alright
Alright
(Willing and able)
I wanna dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing
(Dance and sing, let me watch you do your thing)
I said yeah, c'mon
I said yeah, c'mon
I said yeah, c'mon
I said yeah, c'mon
[Interlude: Rosie Gaines]
Let me take a bite
To see if you're ripe
I'm kinda thinking about
Taking a hunk, chunk
A piece of your love tonight
[Verse 3: Tony M.]
Well hello, MC T. on a mellow
Swing low to the tempo
As I flow on a roll
Here we go, willing and able
Start the show right
With that type of hype
I lay my cards on the table tonight
Don't take me light
My flow hits you just like a lead pipe
While I'm clocking
You just say 'fess
About the boots I'm knocking
It ain't like that
Something to keep the jimmy so get off my back
In fact, you lack the knack
Step back before I show you how a fool acts, baby
Yeah
