  • Billy Jack Bitch (Billy Jack, Billy Jack)
    (Bitch) {Fishbone's "Lyin' Ass Bitch" sample repeats throughout song}
    What if I called you silly names
    Just like the ones that you call me?
    What if I filled your eyes with tears
    So many that you cannot see?

    [Chorus:]
    Billy Jack Bitch - Do you ever really cry? (Billy Jack Bitch)
    Billy Jack Bitch - Do you ever really try? (Billy Jack Bitch)
    Billy Jack Bitch - Do you ever wonder why? (Billy Jack Bitch)
    Billy Jack Bitch (Billy Jack Bitch)

    (Billy Jack Bitch)

    What if I told you that you're worth
    Only half of what you be?
    Would you come forth and tell no lies?
    Would you come forth and talk 2 me?

    [Chorus]

    (Billy Jack Bitch)

    What distortion could you let your pen forget today?
    What misfortune left your heart so broken you only say
    Words intended 2 belittle or dismay?
    What if I say you lie?
    Billy Jack Bitch (Well)

    Open letters aren't the only things that open wounds
    Long hard shiny rocket ships can fly you to the moon

    Whenever evil wants to groove
    Come let me fly you to the moon
    Then you can see how love will bloom
    Joy - it's in the dictionary
    See "J" Billy Jack Bitch

    Do you ever really cry? (Do you ever really cry Billy Jack Bitch?)
    Do you ever really try? (Do you ever really try Billy Jack Bitch?)
    Do you ever wonder why? (Do you ever wonder why Billy Jack Bitch?)
    Oh, Billy Jack Bitch (Billy Jack Bitch)
    Billy, Billy, oh yeah yeah yeah!

    (Do you ever really cry Billy Jack Bitch?)
    (Do you ever really try Billy Jack Bitch?) Cry, cry
    (Do you ever wonder why Billy Jack Bitch?) Try, try
    (Billy Jack Bitch) Billy, Billy, oh

    (Billy Jack Bitch)
    (Billy Jack, Billy Jack)
    (Billy Jack Bitch)

    Uh
    (Billy Jack, Billy Jack)
    Yeah, uh
    (Billy Jack, Billy Jack) {x2}
    (Billy Jack Bitch)
    Solo with that on there

    (Billy Jack Bitch) {x2}
    Please access another experience
    Please access another experience"
    (Billy Jack Bitch)

  • Lori P from EnglandI listen to this track every day because I love the horns, but every time I hear it, I am convinced the words at the end are "I'm so tired mf's". I know it's listed as supposedly being Y'all so tight" but it still sounds wrong to me. Would love to know who's saying this and which one is right.
  • Chris from San Bernardino, CaPrince doesn't actually say "CJ, Billy Jack Bitch"...instead he says "See "j": Billy Jack Bitch". The line actually goes: "Then U can see joy/It's in the dictionary/See "J"/Billy Jack Bitch"...it was a clever way of slightly disguising that he was calling CJ a bitch lol. For anyone who doesn't know, CJ never passed up an opportunity to talk negatively about Prince in her gossip column. After years of dealing with it, this song basically became Prince's response to her.
  • Caitlin from Crystal Lake, IlHey Check out the new Spin Magazine digital edition, it is tribute to Prince

  • Pat from St. Paul, MnThis song has some amazing brass horn playing. Listen to the horns at about 4:30 into the song. The brass are so together and are playing such difficult and fantastic harmonies that I could listen to this song forever. I'm sure the horn playing is what inspired the comment at the end of the song, "Y'all some tight MF'ers." Prince has always had superb musicians accompany him, which is one reason I'm a big fan.
  • Julie from Kingsport, Tnvery interesting.
