I really liked the song when it first leaked last year, but I think it was severely let down by the fact that it appears to be incomplete, clocking in at just 1:51. Now, however, it's on constant repeat. Sure, it would have been out of place on 1999
and a hidden gem on Crystal Ball II, but it's incredibly chaming with some rather genius lyrics here and there. Also, Dez Dickerson's vocals on here are perfect, as on Little Red Corvette.

Any more admirers of this track?



Vocals: Prince & Dez Dickerson

Drums, bass, synth & guitars: Prince (assumed)

Recording: Sunset Sound, 6 April 1982

Didn't mean 2 leave U,

but I had 2 go.

Changing my life wouldn't make U happy,

tell me and I'll make it so. Ohh oh oh...

Wanna make U happy,

do whatever U say.
If it'll make U happy, girl

I come home right away.

I'll give U all my money,

if that'll make U smile.

If U're lonely, I'll come home, baby

all U gotta do is doubt/ die(?) Ohh oh oh...

Really love U baby,

no matter what Ur friends may say.

If it'll make U happy, girl

I come home right away. Ohh...

U can stay in my house, baby

U can sleep on my bed.

If U want, I'll send U my body,

U can sleep on it instead. Ohh oh ohh...

Don't dig(?) 2 leave U,

Leave U all alone.

What's more, I really don't dig makin' love,

Makin love on the telephone. Ohh oh ohh...

Really love U baby,

no matter what they say.

If it'll make U happy, girl

I come home right away. Let's some now(?)

Is yours 1.51 or 2.51? I got a 2nd version with a length of 2.51. . I agree nice little song and quite different

Definitely 1.51.

THanks for mentioning this song. I don't think I'd listened to it again since right after all that stuff leaked, and it had slipped my mind. Just listened again--nice one.

Easily the best of those 2015 leaks for me. Lost classic. I remember thinking this came from 1992, as it reminded me of Blue Light. Then, I noticed it was Dez doing backups, and had to look it up on Princevault.com. 1982?! WTF? I was surprised that he was already able to do this kind of stuff at 24.

That snip sho don't sound like 1982

Were there a 15 songs leaked?

agree 1000%

love it. and wish it was a full version. this was a nice set of outtakes that were released last year in March. some many songs I had seen song titles of but no audio.

Amazing that Per Nielsen knew about these years ago.

Whoever is releasing these improved early generation copies, thank you.

And I look forward to paying $$ if Prince ever decides to release it offically.

LOVE this song. Really really hope the full version comes out at some point.

Damn... I missed this sone too?!

I missed a bunch of stuff last year
