I Would Die 4 U Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm not a woman, I'm not a man
I am something that you'll never understand
I'll never beat you, I never lie
And if you're evil, I'll forgive you by and by, 'cause
[Chorus]
You, I would die for you, yeah
Darling, if you want me to
You, I would die for you
[Verse 2]
I'm not your lover, I'm not your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend
No need to worry, no need to cry
I'm your Messiah, and you're the reason why, 'cause
[Chorus]
You, I would die for you, yeah
Darling, if you want me to
You, I would die for you, woo
[Bridge]
You're just a sinner, I am told
Be your fire when you're cold
Make you happy when you're sad
Make you good when you are bad
I'm not a human, I'm a dove
I'm your conscience, I am love
All I really need is to know that you believe
[Chorus]
Yeah, I would die for you, yeah
Darling, if you want me to
You, I would die for you
Yeah, say one more time
You, I would die for you
Darling, if you want me to
You, I would die for you
Two, three, four, you
[Outro]
I would die for you
I would die for you
You, I would die for you
You, I would die for you

Does prince mean that he is not human or something?
In a way, yes. Like most of the Purple Rain album, Prince makes himself synonymous with the Messiah; he believed in God long before “realizing” he was a Jehovah’s Witness in 2001, and he believed in spreading His message. That’s one of the themes of “I Would Die 4 U” – Prince was willing to “die”, o...
