I would have a tendency to concur.

Called u yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that
U probably weren't alone



So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine



So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

I need

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down


You've been gone 17 days
17 long nights
The main drag is knowing that
You're holding someone else tight


I wanna to call u everyday
And beg u 2 be near me
But I know your head is underwater
I doubt that u could hear me
scattered So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down



Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 Days
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 Days

Called u yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
If you're the one who's always lonely
Then I'm the one who's always alone

So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
All I've got is 2 cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Excellent song, Prince was at his most focussed and artistic prime when he wrote this. Shame it had to be the flipside to his biggest hit, the equally Fantastic "When Doves Cry", anyway must be the greatest ever 45! biggrin
17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince

Originally written for Brenda to sing on the Apples 6 album (hence the lyric "I've got two cigerettes)but just like he yanked the song "The Glamorous Life" and "Manic Monday" from the Apples album, he yanked "17 Days" as well. The intro to this song with the guitar is fantastic. Actually, that's my favorite part of the whole song! But yeah, very cool song. I'm glad he took it back from Patty. Like the other songs I mentioned, they all would have been wasted on an Apple6 album anyways.
