Dear Dad
things didn't turn out quite like I wanted them 2
sometimes I feel like I'm gonna explode

Everybody wanna see u down 4 the count
but that ain't what being a real man's about
the brave and the bold hang around 4 the kill
so the bigger the hole, the
bigger we fill it (fill it!)
they can hit us with all they got
but cha know what?
what?

I can't stop this feeling I got
I feel it right down 2 my toes
I can't stop this feeling I got
my body got 2 have it u know
I can't stop this feeling I got
I'll write a letter to the whole world
I can't stop this feeling I got
every man, woman, boy and girl

can't stop this feeling I got, I
can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got, I
can't stop this feeling I got

I can't stop this feeling I got
u know I can't sleep at night
I can't stop, u know I love it a lot
I'm talking about an everlasting light
I can't stop this feeling I got
I get to shaking all in my shoes
I can't stop this feeling I got
the doctor say there's nothing that he can do

can't stop this feeling I got, can't
stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got,
can't stop this feeling I got
keep on singing now

can't stop. try 2 tell me how 2 paint my palace
that ain't where it's at,
that's like trying 2 tell Columbus
that the world is flat
If the song we're singing truely is the best
then that my brothers is the ultimate test
All in favor say Aye
We can change anything at all

I, I, I can't stop
can't stop
I'm in a butt kicking mood tonight ya'll
can't stop. can't stop
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
(no, no, no, no)
Feeling, feeling, feeling, hey!
Hey, pardon me 4 living, (pardon me 4 living)
but this is my world, (this is my world)
u can't make me change (u can't make me change)
maybe we all got to rearrange (rearrange)
our brains (our brains)

Yeah. Only we can change the world
only we can change the world
only we can change the world

1, 2, 1, 2, 3
I can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got
feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling,
feeling, feeling, yeah!

I love this too!! a great feel good song.

Which album is this on?

Very beautiful lyrics, always loved it.

GRAFFITI BRIDGE was the first Prince cd I ever bought, back in 1993.

Pity it didn't make it in the movie.

love the album version and the lyrics
personally i felt this shoulda been released to radio
and it's a shame this particular sequence got cut from GB

Gorgeous lyrics like he always did and he do ...

Fun song! Love it.

love this song ! love love this album and i am not afraid to saying but i loved the film

Personally i find the officially released version quite cheesy sounding. Too many production and synths on it, like some new version of 'Footloose'.

Not that its bad, but... I love the original, far more sober version from the late eighties a lot better. Together with 'That's the girl of my dreams', it is a fine example of Prince going into 'rockabilly' / early rock and roll-territory.

It's a cool song. Fun to bop around and listen to and a great way to start Grafitti Bridge. The end with the guitar makes me wish it was a couple of minutes longer.

Like the song. Hate the video.

EVERY damn time I hear it that is exactly what I think of. So I don't really listen to it. It's disappointing.

Thanks for sharing, I really needed to read this today.

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make a change

i like the original version the way it segues into we can funk. IF THAT DON'T WORK! YEA WHAT? 2,3, awhaoa!

beautiful words he has made !!!!!


like the song.....
