Yeah, it's a very short, with just piano ballad.

Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

No problem. The lyrics go something like this.

???? called U, U weren't even home
Needed someone 2 talk 2 - hate it
When I'm all alone - contemplating suicide
From twelve 'o clock to two
If U're not back by Wednesday
There's no telling what I
Might do

Why is Prince fascinated with death? Violent death? Suicide?

OK, I'll stop... lol

It's not circulating.

However, Prince does sing a verse from it during a straight-to-tape session
of piano improvisations recorded sometime in 1983. It's often mis-credited as
being called "There's No Telling What I Might Do". This is what people who
claim to have heard it are referring to. This session has been circulating on
bootleg for many years. It also includes a couple of other unreleased
improvised jams tentatively titled; "Cold Coffee and Cocaine" and "Mama" as
well as versions of "Strange Relationship" and "International Lover".

The actual full studio version of "Wednedsay" intended for Purple Rain has
never surfaced. Though it is known that the final version was supposed to be
sung by Jill Jones in the movie.

Ah!! Then I likely have heard it years ago and forgot. I once had a vinyl boot of piano sessions -- of horrible quality -- with "Mama" on it. Most of it left me cold, but "Mama" was memorable, if too short.

That is interesting...because, I was going through familiar songs in my mind that mentioned days of the week...and Wednesday...was the day...I couldn't think of existing in a song...although I later realized that..."She's leaving home." by the Beatles.. does say it's wednesday morning. twocents

The scene was shot nod

I distinctly remember one of you guys posting the pic of Jill Jones on a piano with a Navy hat on during the "Purple Rain" 20th anniversary DVD era. Clearly an outtake pic from the movie/

It would've been intersting to hear that song. That gem came outta Prince/Jill turbulent relationship.

Speaking of turbulent, I wish he kept the master tape of the original Empty Room recording from 86.

Definitely not... Purple Rain was never a double album at any point. That
story is just one of those false rumors that just won't seem to die.

I've heard rehearsal versions from 1984 or early '85. Sound quality sadly lacking.
