About Anotherloverholenyohead

"Anotherloverholenyohead" is a 1986 song by Prince and The Revolution, from the album Parade, the soundtrack to the film Under the Cherry Moon. The song is essentially a full band performance by Prince & the Revolution, with backing vocals from Susannah Melvoin, and the horn section of Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss. The song also features a string arrangement by Clare Fischer. The song is set in a minor key, and written around a piano chord sequence, although the arrangement emphasizes an upfront guitar synth and a drum machine. The lyrics are about a man trying to reclaim a lover who is intent on leaving him for another. The song's title is a combination of the main idea of the song, and the line "U need another lover like u need a hole in yo head" from the chorus. The single received a 12" extended release with intricate piano work and some dance commands from Prince. The B-side was the LP version of "Girls & Boys" in the US, but since that was already released as a single on its own in the UK, the B-side there was "I Wanna Be Your Lover", from 1979's Prince. more »

Woo
Yeah, oh
Oh 
I gave my love, I gave my life, I gave my body and mind
We were inseparable, I guess I gave you all of my time

Why can't you learn to play the game? 
Baby, don't you know that you need more? (more, more, more)

You need another lover like you need a hole in yo head (baby, baby)
You know there ain't no other 
That can do the duty in your bed, yeah

We were brothers and sisters 
United all for love
Now all of the sudden (all of the sudden) 
You try to fight it (try to fight it)
You say you've had enough (say you've had enough)
Even though we had big fun (even though we had big fun)
You want another someone (you want another someone) 
Yo happily ever after be (Sure as there's a sun)
Sure as there's a sun, (I'm gonna be the one)
I'm gonna be the one and if (you don't understand)

You need another lover
You know there ain't no other
You need another lover like you need a hole in yo head
Hole in yo head
Hole in yo head
You need another lover like you need a hole, a hole, a hole, a hole
You need another lover
You know there ain't no other

There's gonna be a riot, if you don't clap your hands,
If you don't make that funky stand, everybody
You know there ain't no other
