Around the World in a Day- B-Sides

Prince & The Revolution
Around the World in a Day — B-Sides

 

Around The World In A Day had 3 singles, all with previously unreleased B-sides. The first single — "Raspberry Beret" was backed with "She's Always In My Hair". Next was "Pop Life", backed with "Hello" (a response to harassment received after Prince's contribution to USA For Africa, "4 The Tears In Your Eyes"). The last single with an original B-side was "America", which was backed with "Girl" (not the track from The Time's first album).

Girl (Extended Version)

Girl, U excite me so
Ooh wee baby, your body's like no other
Girl, it's U I gotta know
Ooh wee baby, I bet U're quite a lover
Ooh girl, I wanna take U home
Ooh wee baby, U're dreaming I scream inside U
I want U in the worst way
U make me...

Girl {x2}

Girl, won't U kiss me?
Ooh wee baby, my lips they want U so
Girl, how can U resist me?
The smell of animal lust is all, all over me
Oh girl, if I could hold your hand
I'd make U touch my body until U understand
I'm your man all night, all day
I want U in the worst way
U make me...

Caress the flower
Warm, warm
Bring it 2 the garden
The garden?
Be poetic
Tell me what it feels like
A sea of electricity?
Now that's wonderful
Talk 2 U? Talk 2 U?
What do U wanna hear?
If I was anything else I'd be the water in your bath, darling
Mmm

(Girl) Girl, U excite me so
Ooh wee baby, my flesh is on fire
(Girl) Girl, the way U play with it
Ooh wee baby, I think U desire me

Girl
Make a wish, baby
Anything
We'll make it come true
Me and U
I want U in the worst way
U make me...

Ooh girl
(Girl) {x2}
U like the dreaming I scream...

Girl, your lips are so wet (Girl)
Feel my hands, they're all sweaty (Girl)
I don't know, I... I guess U frighten me
Cuz I've never wanted anyone like this before
2 feel this way it's like, I don't know, it's like a sin
Cuz sometimes I feel bad
Sometimes I want U so much I can...
God, all I have 2 do is think about U and I can have an orgasm
That sounds funny, doesn't it? Ha ha
Marry me
Yeah that's right, marry me

Girl, don't U ever get lonely sometimes? (Girl)
Gir... girl, don't U ever...
Don't U ever want someone...
Don't U ever want someone just 2...
Don't U ever want someone just 2 talk 2?
Well, U can talk 2 me, baby
I'm... I'm a good listener
U know what?
U know what else?
U know what else I am?
U know what else I am, I am?
I'm a good kisser 2
Come here
Closer
Come here, closer
Closer
Come here, come here
Your ass is so tight
Shhhh
Come here, come here
That's it, right there
Hush
Darlin' I... I'll never...
(Don't talk) {x2}

Hello (Fresh Dance Mix)

Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) {x3}

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said OK and everything was cool
Till a camera tried 2 get in my bed (Hello)
My bed (Hello) (Hello)

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")
When this man tries 2 get in the car
("Hey Prince, come on, give us a smile, eh?")
No introduction, "How've U been?"
Just - "Up yours! Smile, that's right, U're a star!" (Star)

U call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends
I guess I'm used 2 havin' 'em around
And cameras by nature like rewards
That's the trouble I get when I'm Uptown

I'm not afraid 2 die cuz I know there's a better place 2 go
(Don't be afraid cuz there's a better place 2 go)
I eat what I want, whole wheat toast
(U can eat what U want, anything is cool in moderation)
And I'm happy, and that's 4 sure

We're against hungry children, our record stands tall
But there's just as much hunger here at home
We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand
A flower that has water will grow
And a child misunderstood will go
Hello! {x3}
(Hello)

Everybody

Gotta he..., gotta he... he... hello!

I haven't lost my desire
I wouldn't beg U
Instead of playin' deduction of what 2 do
They called me rude often
When I called their hand
They judged me and told me that we're through
"Why can't U be like the others?"
I cried out over and again
"Why can't U learn 2 play by the rules?"
But maybe at last it's the end
Because I am not like others
I'm unique in the respect I'm not U

I know in my heart I would try 2 love U
I wouldn't try 2 hurt U despite all the ways U try 2 hurt me
U call me a fraud, an uncaring wretch
But I'm an artist and my only aim is 2 please
Between U and yours, myself and mine
Isn't life cruel enough without cruel words, cruel words?
U see, words are like shoes
They're just something 2 stand on
I wish U could be in my shoes
But they're probably so high, U'd fall off and die
4 U words are definitely not shoes
They're weapons and tools of destruction
And your time is boring unless U're putting something down
What would life be if we believed what we read
And a smile is just hiding a frown?
Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes?

She's Always In My Hair(New Mix)

Whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams are aimed in the wrong direction
She's always there tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair

She's always in my hair, my hair

Whenever I feel like not 2 great at all
Whenever I'm all alone
Even if I hit the wrong notes
She's always in my boat
She's always there tellin' me how much she cares
She's always in my hair

She's always in my hair, my hair

(Maybe I'll marry her)
Maybe I'll marry her, maybe I won't
Maybe I will not [be lost]
Let me tell U, baby (Even if I was a gigolo all my life)
If I was a gigolo all my life
She'd still be there tellin' me just how much she really cares
(She cares)
She's always in my hair

She's always in my hair, my hair

Yeah {x2}

Listen...
Whenever I feel like givin' up
Whenever my sunshine turns 2 rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams are aimed in the wrong direction
She's always there tellin' me just how much she cares
(Tellin' me just how much she cares)
Tell me, baby
Always in my hair

She's always in my hair, my hair

She's always in my hair {x3}

(My hair)
Yeah, woman she'S in my hair, my hair, hair, oh!

She's always in my hair {x3}
My hair

Maybe I'll marry her
Maybe I will not
Let me tell U, if I was gigolo all my life
She'd still be there
Because U know, she thinks I'm hot
That woman thinks I'm hot
What she know?
Yeah, I feel like givin' 2 her
I feel like givin' 2 her
My sunshine - it turns 2 rain, yeah
My hopes, my dreams - a misinformed direction, ooh, uh =
She's always, she's always in my hair
That woman, she's in my hair

My hair - that woman, she in my hair!
That woman she in my hair!
My hair, my hair!

She's in my hair
