Despite the fact that Come received little promotion by Prince, 2 of its singles were released as maxi-singles. The "Letitgo" maxi contained several remixes of the track, but the only new lyrics was a rap by Young Soldier Of Time. The "Space" maxi also had several remixes, some with a few samples, but the only truely lyrically unique mix was the "Universal Love Remix", featuring totally new lyrics, while keeping the chorus of the original track.

Letitgo (Caviar Radio Edit)

All my life I've kept my feelings deep inside
Never was a reason 2 let somebody know
Lover here, lover there - Who cried? Who cared? Foolish pride
Never was a good seat at any of this man's shows

CHORUS:
Until now all I wanted 2 do is...
Do, do, do what I do and...
Bang, bang, bang on the drummer and love so-and-so
But now I gotta let it go (Letitgo)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
I wanna just let it go (Letitgo)
Lay back and let my feelings show

I'm ready 4 the real
Give me something I can feel

All my life this heart's been under lock and key
My curtains were drawn, there wasn't nobody home
Trigger here, trigger there - everybody's high except 4 me
Better off dead if I couldn't be alone

CHORUS

I... I'm ready 4 the real

They called the ego of rhyme, Young Soldier Of Time
From the past 2 the future while my world be spinnin'
200 and one, another century arrived
Thought I wasn't gonna make 2 see the year '95
Now [95] years, ah, they come-a
Brothers got smoked and brothers went under
I gots 2 letitgo, I gots 2 let my vibe flow
I gots 2 be real in 9-4
I gots 2 make my ends meet, a young soldier don't sleep
I just do it right, I gots 2 make the [sound check]
Tryin' 2 check me, but they can't {fuck*} with the Y.S.O.T. {*edited out}
Yeah, and I'm out

14 years and tears I've longed 2 sing my song
But a horse couldn't drag your ass 2 put me on
But now I've got an army and we're 3 million strong
This song will ring in your ears when we are gone

Until now all I wanted 2 do is...
Do, do, do what I do and...
Bang, bang, bang on the drummer and love so-and-so
But now I wanna let it go (Letitgo)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
Said I wanna let it go (Letitgo)
Lay back and let my feelings show

I... I'm ready 4 the real
Give me something I can feel

Space (Universal Love Remix)

(2 the beat y'all) {repeat sample}

T-minus 60 seconds and counting

Missile and new count in sync?
Affirmative
Ready

Affirmative {x2}

How did I get in this predicament?
How did I get in this jam?
The person that they accuse me of being of
That's not the one I really am
I am the one that really loves U
With all my mind, body and soul
With every stroke of my brush
I wanna paint a wall around U so that U will never know

All the pain that a human has 2 go through
In a planet that's so bitter and cold
Universal love awaits U, baby
All U got 2 say is that U really, really, really wanna go
And we're outta here

(The space)
Do U wanna? (Space)
Do U want 2 go? (Space)
Where the souls go (Space)
Where the tears flow (Space)
Where the love grows
Do U want 2 go?

How did I let U hypnotize me?
Did it have anything 2 do with your lips?
Did it have anything 2 do with your cool disposition?
Did it have anything 2 do with your kiss?
Where in the world did U learn 2 put your arms around me
And cause my temperature 2 rise?
Sometimes I get the feeling this was all meant 2 be
Just like the sun and moon - U and I

All the pain that a human has 2 go through
In a planet that's so bitter and cold (So cold)
Universal love await U, baby (It await U, baby)
All U got 2 say is that U really, really, really wanna go
(All U gotta do, all U gotta do is say that U really, really, really wanna go)
And we're outta here (Oh yeah)

(The space)
Do U wanna? (Do U wanna? Huh)
Do U want 2 go? (The space)
Where the souls go (Space)
Where the tears flow (The space)
Where the love grows
Do U want 2 go?

This is the space where my love goes
Lay back, lay back and let the vibe flow
This is the space where my hands go

This is the space where the cream flows
Over my shoulder till my friend grow
On and on until we both know
Universal love in the 9 4

This is the space where my love go
Won't U sit back and let the vibe flow?
