GO - grabs you by the throat

The way this song starts makes me laugh... sounding like a prissy lil nerd Prince can b heard saying to his girl hey baby where you going? okay, if you wanna go I don't wanna hear about it

But by the time it gets to the confessional bit "I don't wanna see the rain, or hear the reasons or excuses... Go!... leave me alone with this broken heart" you realise you want to stop laughing and really want to cry

Anyone else gripped by this song in the same way as I?

I've always been curious about this song but I've never heard it.
Are you able to post the lyrics? Thanks.

Thanks for posting. Are the lyrics spoken or sung (falsetto or natural)?

Go is one of my favorite outtakes/unreleased songs. Despite it's 1:05 lenth.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

The first part is spoken. Down to "I don't wanna know about it."
Then he starts singing in regular/natural voice. With Lisa or Wendy and Lisa saying Go in the backround. They are singing backround also.

Where U goin' baby? Home?
Oh, woman please...Nah, Nah, nah
U aint got 2 explain
If U gonna go I don't
Wanna know about it

Go - I don't wanna feel the pain
(Don't go) I don't wanna see the rain
I don't hear Ur lame excuses or reasons
Why - Not this time baby just go!

(Go) Go (Go) Go (Go) - Leave me alone with this
Broken heart - ???? - romance
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Nice job in transcribing the lyrics... there is also a lengthy rehearsal of this from the Parade era... the song can be appreciated more fully there...

The rehearsel is long enough, though. Running eight minutes.

And the lyrics start at a different place as the snippet of studio version you are talking about.
