whenever these two tracks come along on my playlists i always
regret that they were not included on The Vault back in 1999.

they would have made a nice addition to the jazzy feel of the
collection. perhaps they were left off so as to not make that
album all about the I'll Do Anything sessions.

still, i would love to have some excellent quality version of
'Make Believe' cuz i love love love that short song.


Make Believe 01:30

Make believe U're a hero, make believe U're a star
Make believe that U're somebody instead of who U really are
Make believe
It's only a movie

U don't need 2 scratch 4 crumbs when U deserve the whole cake
Make believe U're Sidney Poitier, believe, U gotta make believe
U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe
Baby, U got 2 make believe it's only a movie

Make believe U're sophisticated, make believe that U're en vogue
Make believe that U're quite wealthy even though
U're so broke U can't pay attention
Baby, U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe

Make believe it's only a movie
Make believe U're a star

U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe
U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe

I'll do Anything 03:11

I'll do anything 2 have U like me
I'll do double 2 have your love
I'll move mountains 2 make U happy
Mountains, oh yes, because

What good is a me if it ain't got a U?
What good is dream if it don't come true?
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh
I'll fall off the Eiffel Tower if only 4 applause
I'll wrestle with a tiger and suffer every claw
I'll paint a beard on the Mona Lisa even though its my favorite jaw
I'll do anything, anything because

What good is a captain if he ain't got a crew?
What good is a room if it ain't got a view?
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do
Wait a minute

Wait a minute...
There's a good reason why I'd do anything, baby
And that reason is U
Check this out...

What good is a car if it ain't got no gas?
What good is a future if it ain't got no past?
What good is a one if it ain't got another one 2 make it 2?
What good is a me, baby, if it ain't got a U?

What good is a dream if it don't come true
And what if I live 4 your love?
Be justa strollin' through
I'll do any, anything
Anything 4 U, it's true

I'll do anything, baby
Anything 4 U

I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh ooh
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh ooh

Be My Mirror would have fit well too.

That's a song I've thought about quite a bit since my son was born at the end of December (I haven't dug that song out from the vault that is my basement yet, though).

Indeed, it's clear Prince was happy with all the I'll Do Anything demos as he has released most of them.

Yeah I love those tracks. Pity they've never been officially released. I really like
the longer version of Make Believe too, very funky.

Which one is this? Do you mean the part included in the cast recording of the I'll Do Anything Medley (including Wow and the music from Sexy MF)? If you're talking about a separate track, this isn't something I've heard of before!
