It was recorded in 1985 (you have dated it and attributed it to Prince and the Revolution correctly) and released as a download in 2001 through the NPG Music Club:

Just listened to this one the other day.

Another reminder of 1984-1986 being a colorful explosion of music

This song and some other I could easily see as an album:Adonis & Bathsheba, Cosmic Day, Go etc

I called you on the phone
You knew it was me all along
You didn't even say hello
Cause you don't need words to let me know
All the things that you do to me
You fulfill my every fantasy

Splash - I'm under your power
Splash - I could go for hours
Splash - You could devour me
And I'd only want you more

Oh, when you make love to me
There's things I never thought I'd see
I cherish [...]
[...] in every sea
Oh, I love when you play with me
Ask your mom if you could stay with me

Splash - I'm under your power
Splash - I could go for hours
Splash - You could devour me
And I'd only want you more

Our love is a rhythm
Together we'll have so much fun

You go from room to room
Leaving traces of your sweet perfume
If I could I'd bottle it
Everybody should know the feelin' I get
When I'm in your cool embrace
Your lips, your arms, your legs, your face

Splash - I'm under your power
Splash - I could go for hours
Splash - You could devour me
And I'd only want you more
I want you more and more and more

Love this a lot. I can add a few missing lyrics in the second verse.

Oh, when U make love 2 me
I witness things I never thought I'd see
[Something turns into green] (Into green)
Violets and rain in every scene
What?

If you saw this thread in the Concerts thingie you would write what I wrote.

But you didn't.

Context is everything and you lack context.

That does not excuse your choice of words.

You might be living in a parallel universe since a short while and/or lacking context.

Not if you actually read what I wrote.

I even tried to be kind.

Initial tracking took place on 1 August, 1985 at the Washington Avenue Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA (the day after the release of the Pop Life single, three days before recording Empty Room). The track was sent to Clare Fischer for string recording in July, 1986, but the song was not included on any known configurations of any album. It is likely that further work was done on the track prior to its eventual release, but recording dates are not known. This final version was planned for inclusion on the Prince and the Revolution album Roadhouse Garden album worked on in 1998-9, but the album remains unreleased.
