[Intro: Rosie Gaines]
Ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 1: Prince]
This will be the day
You will hear me say
That I will never run away
I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what you're gonna do

[Chorus: Prince, Prince & Rosie Gaines]
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl?
If I could, I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 2: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Which one of us is right (Oh, woah)
If we always fight? (Oh, yeah)
Why can’t we just let love decide? (Let love decide, yeah)
Am I the weaker man (Ooh-woah)
'Cause I understand (Woah-ooh-oh)
That love must be the mastеr plan? (Love is the master plan)
