100 MPH Lyrics by Prince

Originals

2019

[Intro]
One, two, three
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

[Verse 1]
There’s a fairy tale that says
Once upon a time
Funky music belonged to people who
Drank cheap wine

[Chorus]
That’s why I gotta get on my own way
That’s the new golden rule
Enjoy the closest human
I’m much too hot to be cool
100 miles an hour, baby
That’s what it’s all about
I need a lover that can slow me down
Somebody that’ll make me shout

[Verse 2]
There’s a misconception that says
Everything on the one (Everything on the one)
Then my first reaction is just try to
Have a little fun

[Chorus]
That’s why I gotta get on my own way
That’s the new golden rule
Enjoy the closest human
I’m much too hot to be cool
100 miles an hour, baby
That’s what it’s all about
I need a lover that can slow me down
Somebody that’ll make me shout
Uh, ha, ha-ha-ha, ha, oh

[Verse 3]
There’s a fairy tale that says
Twice in the Land of Oz (Twice in the Land of Oz)
Dorothy make love to the Lion because
Because, because

[Chorus]
That’s why I gotta get on my own way
That’s the new golden rule
Enjoy the closest human
I’m much too hot to be cool
100 miles an hour, baby
That’s what it’s all about
I need a lover that can slow me down
Somebody that’ll make me shout (Make me shout)

[Outro]
Gonna make me shout
