Lyrics: Prince. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic. Prettyman.

Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful

Hey now, what's up?
Aw, you know how to come over here
Starin' at a brother so hard
Huh, say you what?

If you wanna be my baby, got to tell me so
Over competent lady, better act like you know
If you wanna be my baby, come on take my hand
Tell me that you wanna get with prettyman

See me up here dancin', dancin' on the flo'
Got to think about doin' just a little mo'
The way I wear my knickers around this booty tight
Make a sister wanna call me up every night, hey

If you wanna be my baby, got to tell me so
Over competent lady, better act like you know
If you wanna be my baby, come on take my hand
Tell me that you wanna get with prettyman

Everywhere I go, people stop and stare
They just wanna see me swing this pretty hair
If there ever comes a time when it just won't grow
I'll keep it like my brother and buy some mo', hey

If you wanna be my baby, got to tell me so
Over competent lady, better act like you know
If you wanna be my baby, come on take my hand
Tell me that you wanna get with prettyman

Tell me
Looka here
Do you know?
Take my hand, say it

Ooh, uh
If you wanna be my baby, got
(Prettyman)
Ooh, prettyman
(Prettyman)

Ooh, uh
If you wanna be my baby, got
(Prettyman)
Ooh, prettyman
(Prettyman)
Looka here now

In the early morning when I'm feeling nice
I walk by the mirror and kiss it twice
When it comes to perfume, I, it's on the shelf
I get it down, if ain't nobody around

I, I, I smell myself
Hey, uh, prettyman, looka here
I ain't through
Say I don't, uh, wait a minute
Come on, band, break down

I don't care about money, I buy gold by the ounce
Y2K, not today, I write a check and the bank bounce
Superball used to be my nickname if you ask about love
No money back guarantee when I'm above, prettyman

If you wanna be my baby, got to tell me so
Over competent lady, gotta act like you know
If you wanna be my baby, come on take my hand
Tell me that you wanna get with the prettyman, huh

Maceo, brother, can you blow? Uh, pretty
From Harlem, uh, ay, off to Tokyo, wait, stop, ah, go
Maceo can you, Maceo, can you blow? Hey, Prettyman
Oh, yeah, Can I scream now? Hey, hey

Can I scream now? Hey
Can I scream now? Hey
Can I scream now? Hey
Can I scream now? Hey

Can I scream now? Hey
Can I scream now? Hey, ohh, no
Hey, hey, hey, hello, who is it?
Yes, this is a prettyman, Princey, he, he, he
