Wonder if anyone loves this song as much as I do.

Prince is doing his thang on the vocals on this song. It's one of my favorite cuts from the Rave In2 CD. Real cool R&B sound with killa harmonies.


Why U screamin'?
U know I'm not a man of war
Break the gold chain that I gave U
Throw it down on the floor (Oh baby)
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
But my friends tell me, "U should go get her"
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U is a waste of time
U know I'm not a man'o'war

Great song - one of his most underrated tracks, in my opinion.

It used to irk the crap out of me...but sometimes I really get this intense craving to listen to it. I kinda like it in a werid way.

I thought Rave...was a return 2 form the first time I heard the album.
But afterwards I didn't listen that often to it,
2bad because there are some great tracks on it.

Man O war is a great Prince song,a classic!
If it would have been included on an other album,it would get much more credit.

And yes,the lyrics desribes very well what I was going through a year later...

Man O' War

Top favorite on the Rave album.

I love this ballad

Love it,

what? boy, u crazy!

how could U have think that I could put something inside of someone
that i put inside U, inside U?
even if i tried 2, if I tried 2 (Tried 2, tried 2)
i couldn't cuz i still smell like that last time when we....

i looooove that line -- Prince in the loving/nasty role that he plays so well.

i do equally dislike the line ...since we were sophomores

i mean, was this a Tevin Campbell outtake? Or does he want us to believe he was faithful to someone for 25 years???

Tell me about it. When I heard this line I was like O!!! I also like it when he says $"100,000 and some change"

I think everyone can relate to different parts of the song whether they want it admit or not.
