"Bestest Friend" lyrics - PRINCE

It's like we never met before
I guess that's why it takes so long
To open up the door
You never let me in
Instead you take a knife to skin
And leave blood all on the floor

[Pre-Chorus:]
When we go to war
It might not be that serious
But it's seriously boring

[Chorus:]
You, ooh
Used to be my bestest friend, the perfect blend
You, ooh-ooh
Used to be my bestest friend
I guess it was pretend, oh well

[Interlude:]
(It's like you never read my mind)
It's like you never read my mind
How dare you think I'd waste my time (How dare you think?)
That I would waste my time without you? (Huh)

Accusations of some crime
Like I needed consent from those
Who do what they accuse

[Pre-Chorus:]
Every painter needs a muse
Who's to say who wins or loses?
Surely not you

[Chorus:]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
You used to be my bestest friend, the perfect blend, oh
You, ooh-ooh
Used to be my bestest friend, I guess it was pretend

[Bridge:]
If you're here to see us fall
Then you never saw nothin' at all
Behind the tallest wall
Oh, if everything you think is true
Remember that you're just like me
But I'm nothing like you

[Instrumental break]

[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody needs a muse
Nobody can say who wins or loses
And when I say nobody, I just mean

[Chorus:]
You, ooh-ooh
Used to be my bestest friend (Ah)
The perfect blend, perfect blend
You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Used to be my bestest friend
Now my best friend is- (Uh)
