It backed "When Doves Cry".

It's the B-side of "When doves cry". It's also on "The hits/The B-sides" 3 CD collection.

EDIT:
Chocolate and I must have posted at the same time lol

17 Days

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
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

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

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

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

Why don't you answer your phone?

Really??? I learn something everyday...

If you think about it...cigarettes was jsut a common thing back then espically in story telling...I think of the old movies and everyone has a cigarette...espically when they are sad or mad...

Yep.
I'm a huge fan of that song.
And other than Purple Rain,
Where Doves Fly is probably Prince's most famous ditty.

Piano version is much better though, and I like the fully fleshed out version. It's syncopated and funky and has more emotion.

Great song.
One of my all-time favorites. Love the reggae feel underneath it. Would love to hear him talk about writing/recording this song and his thought processes.

I heard the piano version, too, and I really enjoyed that, as well. Love if he released that and the piano version of The Ladder on his Web site.

Actually...IIRC, it was written for Jill.
