A Puzzlement (reprise) Songtext
Prince
There are time I almost think
They are not sure of what they absolutely know.
Louis
I believe they are confused
About conclusions they concluded long ago.
Prince
If my father and your mother are not sure of what they absolutely know,
Can you tell me why they fight?
Louis
They fight to prove that what they do not know is so!
Prince
Oh-hhhhh!
Sometimes I think that people going mad
Louis
Ah-h-h-h-h-h!
Sometimes I think that people [speaks]-not so bad.
Prince
But not matter what I think
I must go on living life.
And someday as a leader I must go forth,
Be father to my children and husband to each wife
Etcetera, etcetera, and so forth.
If my Lord in Heaven Buddha, show the way,
Everyday I try to live another day.
If my Lord in Heaven Buddha, show the way,
Everyday I do my best for one-more day!
But-
Louis
[Spoken] is a puzzlement
There are time I almost think
They are not sure of what they absolutely know.
Louis
I believe they are confused
About conclusions they concluded long ago.
