Ooh

[Verse 1: Prince]
This will be the day
You will hear me say
That I will never run away
I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what you're gonna do
[Chorus: Prince, Prince & Rosie Gaines]
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl?
If I could, I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Which one of us is right (Oh, woah)
If we always fight? (Oh, yeah)
Why can’t we just let love decide? (Let love decide, yeah)
Am I the weaker man (Ooh-woah)
'Cause I understand (Woah-ooh-oh)
That love must be the mastеr plan? (Love is the master plan)
[Chorus: Prince, Prince & Rosie Gaines]
If I gavе you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl?
If I could, I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Prince]
Woo
MPLS, spell it out, c'mon!
[Bridge: Rosie Gaines]
D to the I to the A to the M, yeah
O to the N to the D to the pearls of love
D to the I to the A to the M
O to the N to the D to the pearls of love
[Verse 3: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
There will come a time (There’ll come a time)
Love will blow your mind (Your mind)
And everything you'll look for you'll find (Take a look inside, yeah)
That will be the time (That will be the time)
Everything will shine (Oh, yeah)
So bright it makes you colorblind (You will be colorblind)
[Chorus: Prince, Prince & Rosie Gaines, Rosie Gaines]
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl?
If I could, I would give you the world
But all I can do is offer you my love, yeah
If I gave you diamonds and pearls (Pearls, yeah-yeah), ooh, yeah
Boy or a girl? (Girl)
If I could, I would give you the world (Give you the world)
All I can do is just offer you my love (All I can do)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, if I gave you
If I gave you, if I gave you, if I gave you, yeah-yeah
Diamonds and pearls, if I gave you
If I gave you and you and you and you
All I can do, is offer you my love
