The Way Things Are Poem by Prince ....

One more time to test the real power of me.
This feeling that I hold not,
Just won't let me be.
This woman won't leave me alone,
Shes gonna ruin my happy home.
With her mind games.

Well I got an other back home
Whos the beat in my heart.
I never thought no one else
Could tare us apart.
To each other we can't get
so true.
Until a love from the past comes
along and messes it all up

I know I have to be strong
I have to fight this all off
So I break for what I must do
I have to love my woman, or you.

But I got a feeling telling me
let your heart be your guide
I don't want to loose either one
Which makes it hard to decided

While my mind continues to run
My heart stays at home and controlls
My temptations.

I'm sorry little miss
Thats the way things are
I gots to be on my way
For that love one is waiting on me.
