Video: Fall Out Boy’s Frontman Covers Prince!

This was recommended to me on YouTube and you know I could not pass on it! It’s Fall Out Boy’s lead singer Patrick Stump performing Prince’s “I Wanna Be Your Lover” and performing it well.

You could never ever replace the original jam that still brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. I do like Patrick’s high falsetto on this song and the acoustic guitar is a different take on it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.-Dr.FB

For the lyrics to this song that stands the test of time….

ain’t got no money
I ain’t like those other guys U hang around
It’s kinda funny
But they always seem 2 let U down
And I get discouraged
Cuz I never see U anymore
And I need your love baby, yeah
That’s all I’m living 4, yeah
I didn’t wanna pressure U, baby
But all I ever wanted 2 do…

I wanna be your lover
I wanna be the only one that makes U come… runnin’!
I wanna be your lover
I wanna turn U on, turn U out
All night long, make U shout “Oh lover, yeah!”
I wanna be the only one U come 4

I wanna be your brother
I wanna be your mother and your sister, 2
There ain’t no other
That can do the things that I’ll do 2 U
And I get discouraged
Cuz U treat me just like a child
And they say I’m so shy, yeah
But with U, I’ll just go wild, ooh
I didn’t wanna pressure U, baby … no
But all I ever wanted 2 do…

I wanna be your lover
I wanna be the only one that makes U come… runnin’!
I wanna be your lover
I wanna turn U on, turn U out
All night long, make U shout “Oh lover, yeah!”
I wanna be the only one U come 4, yeah

    I must say, I’m not a huge fan of people covering Prince but that was great. You can tell that Patrick is a Prince fan with this. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.

    sorry dr.f i had to stop it at 1:25…couldn’t take anymore. There are certain songs that artist should not cover….I wanna Be Your Lover is certainly one of them.
