The Voice lyrics

by

Prince


[Verse 1]
Bang! A gunshot rings out
Thirteen year old baby falls to the ground
See the killer runnin’ down the street
Tell me killer, can you hear the sound?

[Chorus]
Tap, tap, tappin’ on your window like a fallin’ rain
Cryin’ like a baby in a cradle sayin’ pick me up again (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, sighin' like a woman on fire
When she's ready for some of your love
The voice is justa steady callin'
Until you give in
Until you give up

[Verse 2]
Ching! Mr. Politician goes on vacation (Oh)
Brings along a friend or two
In the disguise of taxes
Mr. Politician (Sends) sends the bill to you know who

[Chorus]
(Can't you hear?)
Tap, tap, tappin’ on my window like a fallin’ rain
(Oh, tappin’ on my window like a fallin’ rain)
Cryin’ like a baby in a cradle sayin’ pick me up again
(Cryin’ like a baby, pick me up)
Can’t you hear the voice?
[Verse 3]
(And oh yes)
The nightsticks are still singin’
Four part harmony on brother’s back
Just is doomed when we don’t start no S-H
And there’s still some I-T in all of that

[Chorus]
(People can't you hear me?)
Tap, tap, tappin’ on your window like a fallin’ rain
(Tapin', tapin' tapin')
Cryin’ like a baby in a cradle sayin’ pick me up again
(Pick me up, pick me up)
I’m talkin’ about the voice, y’all

Uh sookie sookie now
Mmm (Tap)
Can't you hear? (Tap)
Can't you hear justa tappin' now? (Tap)
Uh, tap on it
Hey, do it now (Tap)

[Verse 4]
Can’t you see it’s just dirty money
With your brother man dyin’ in the flow?
Take off these chains (Tap)
And listen to the voice callin’ (Tap)
We gotta go (Tap), we gotta go (Tap)
[Chorus]
Tap, tap, tappin’ on your window like a fallin’ rain
(Oh yeah, like a baby)
Cryin’ like a baby in a cradle sayin’ pick me up again
(Cryin’)

[Verse 5]
5-4-3-2-1, keep the war over (Tap)
But how many wanna keep the peace? (Tap)
We keep buildin’ guns when we could build love (Tap)
(When we need to build love)
'Cause that’s when the war will cease
You know it, you know it (Tap)
Can’t you hear the..? (Tap)
Can’t you hear the..? (Tap)
I'm talkin' about the voice, y'all

[Chorus]
Tap, tap, tappin’ on your window like a fallin’ rain
Cryin’ like a baby in a cradle sayin’ pick me up again
(Woah)
Sighin’ like a woman on fire
When she’s ready for some of your love
The voice is just a-steady calllin’
Until you give in, until you give up
