Prince, "Sign O' the Times"
Misheard Lyrics:
Some say a man ain't a man
Until a man truly dies
Oh why...?
Until a man truly dies
Oh why...?
Original Lyrics:
But some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why...?
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why...?
For some reason I've always heard it, or recalled it, as this strange paradoxical statement. I still don't get what Prince meant by the actual lyrics in these lines though.
