Lyrics

[Verse 1: Wendy & Lisa, Prince & Brown Mark, Prince, All] I was dreamin' when I wrote this Forgive me if it goes astray But when I woke up this morning Could've sworn it was judgement day The sky was all purple There were people runnin' everywhere Tried' to run from the destruction You know I didn't even care (Anybody wanna sing? C'mon 'Cause they say) [Chorus: Prince & The Revolution] Two-thousand zero-zero, party over, oops, out of time So tonight.. (You sing!) I'm gonna party like it's 1999 [Verse 2: Wendy & Lisa, Prince & Brown Mark, Prince, All] I was dreamin' when I wrote this So sue me if I go too fast But life is just a party And parties weren't meant to last War is all around us My mind says, "Prepare to fight" So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen to my body tonight They say [Chorus: Prince & The Revolution] Two-thousand zero-zero, party over, oops, out of time So tonight (You sing!) I'm gonna party like it's 1999 Say it one more time Two-thousdand zero-zero, party over, oops, out of time So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 (I'm gonna, we gonna) 1999 Somebody, 1999 Everybody say now, 1999 [Outro: Prince, Lisa, Prince and Lisa, All] I don't wanna die (1999) I'd rather dance my life away (1999) Listen to what I'm tryin' to say Everybody, whatchu wanna do?
