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 2 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 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
17 Days

This is probably my favorite Prince song. I don't know why. It's a pretty straight forward song about the slightly obsessed longing for someone you had before who doesn't want to see you again (or with whom you've had a huge fight).
Instead of just buying the 2 "Hits" CDs that Prince did in '93, I bought the 3-CD set that included the bonus disc that featured the rare tracks. This one was my personal favorite. It was originally the b-side to the single for "When Doves Cry". I personally thought this song should have been a commercial hit for Prince; It has a commercial feel to it. If I were his manager, I would have put this song on the album that followed, "Around the World in a Day", rather than making it a "rare track". Rare tracks aren't supposed to be this good!
Favorite Prince song!!
i heard this b-side song in the 90s. it was the 3:18 version. thanks 2 ares, i'm still bumping the 11:03 version. 17 days y 1999 have the exact same tempo and when hearing either, the listener WILL dance
