This song was an early attempt by Prince to write a 1950s-style blues-based rock number, predating "Jack U Off" on Controversy and later "rockabilly" efforts. Even though the song sounds like a spontaneous live recording with his band, probably recorded by Prince on his own. A bluesy piano opening is followed by Prince's a cappella vocal intro before the song gets underway. The arrangement emphasizes an electric piano and a fast, fluid bassline. Sometimes called "Broken, Lonely And Crying," it was occasionally played on the Dirty Mind club tour the spring of 1981. Broken Till U come back 2 me There'll be nothing left 2 say, no Broken My heart is broken, yeah Broken, oh baby My heart's just broken in 2 Until U bring your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery Broken, Lord My heart is broken, Lord Broken, yeah My heart's just broken in 2 If U think that I'll beg 4 your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery Lonely I'm so lonely Lonely I don't know what do 2 Until U bring your sweet pussy, bring it on home 2 me I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery Cryin' I'm just a-cryin' I'm just a-cryin', baby, all night I don't know what 2 do Until U bring your sweet honey, bring it on home 2 me I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery Oh oh, baby Until U, baby Until U, baby, Lord Until U, baby Until U bring your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me I'll be your broken-hearted man alone I'll be your broken-hearted man alone I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery Cymbals! Until U bring your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me I'll be your broken-hearted man alone, baby Broken-hearted man alone, baby Broken-hearted man alone in misery | |

that opening..."till you come back to me".... was the original ending of gotta broken heart again" this was the intended sequence for dirty mind. | |

I just noticed Broken recently too. This week actually. I've listened to it before, but I think my hightened Prince appreciation of late must have made it jump out at me.
Really good song. One that makes you want to seek out all the other lesser known tunes that have/haven't been released 
I'm on a mission now  | |
