Prince
People Pleaser
[Intro]
Yeah
Ima do what it do

[Verse 1]
So consumed with being nice that I forgot to live my life
Such a people pleaser, now I see I wasted so much time
Yes they like me, but they expect me
To be there at a drop of a dime
Well, I changed my mind

[Chorus]
I used to be a people pleaser, but I had a change of mind
I used to be a midnight teaser, now I just wanna take my time

[Verse 2]
So obsessed with holding on that I forgot to just let go
Listenin’ to abusive speech instead of letting feelings show
And I’m so tired of dealing with these guys, that all they do is take
From their actions to their reactions
You and I both know it’s fake

[Chorus]
I used to be a people pleaser, but I had a change of mind
I used to be a midnight teaser, now I just wanna take my time
[Verse 3]
So concerned with giving all I had and more and more times four
And I am not the one who stands outside when they have locked the door
Cause this is mine and every other man who dares to make a stand
There’s a time to raise your voice and a time to raise your hands

[Chorus]
I used to be a people pleaser, but I had a change of mind
I used to be a midnight teaser, now I just wanna take my time

People pleaser
Midnight teaser

[Breakdown]
Jim Crow
Cornrow
Afro
We grow
New show
Cash flow
Big dough
Hell no
Bestow
I go
To friend and foe
Although
They blow
You know
I go
[Chorus]
I used to be a people pleaser, but I had a change of mind
I used to be a midnight teaser, now I just wanna take my time
