All 3 of Lovesexy's singles were released in extended/alternate versions. The remix of "Alphabet St.", "This Is Not Music, This Is A Trip" is a mostly instrumental version with a few additional lyrics at the beginning. "Glam Slam" had an extended remix, but without any new lyrics. However, "I Wish U Heaven" was given full treatment in 3 parts — one close to the album version, the second with a gospel-theme and the third being a whole new song based on an outtake called "Take This Beat".

I Wish U Heaven (Parts 1,2 & 3)

Doubts of our conviction follow where we go
And when the world's compassion ceases, still I know
4 your every touch I thank U so much
4 your every kiss I...

If I see 11, U can say it's 7
Still I wish U heaven
I wish U love

Tell me who in this house know about sweet heaven (We do!)
Fishtail! I said, "Really?" (Really)
If U know about love, say - "Yeah" (Yeah!) (I wish U heaven {x2})
If U wanna go 2 heaven, say – "Oh yeah" (Oh yeah!)

Everybody, everybody get ready, y'all – sing!

Heaven, yeah! (Heaven, yeah!) {x2}
Heaven, sugar baby! (Heaven, sugar baby!)
Heaven, yeah! (Heaven, yeah!)

Hold my hand, I'm strong with U
When U're quality band, I adore all of U
The way we love is what brought us 2gether
Dreams of above, the water's much wetter
When words of compassion ceases 2 exist
My band don't see me still get a kiss
The heavens above, the heavens above
Everybody sing 4 the heavens above

(Oh my God, look at that guitar)

I…
Take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine
I said take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine

Take my coffee, but don't U touch my cream
Make me holler, make me scream
Your sister ugly, that's the truth
She pees in the backyard, sleep on the roof

Take this beat, U know U need it
I give U a white dove, why'nt U feed it? (I wish U heaven {x2})
I gave U sweet love, U put it in the corner
Gave U candy, U say U don't want it

Take this beat, I don't mind (Lord)
I got plenty others and they so fine
Take this… take this beat

Teal-blue overcoat on my back
'67 T-Bird, heart attack
I got peace-sign sneakers, pleated slacks
Don't fuck with me, I'll slap yo' ass!

Take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine
Take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine
They so fine {x2}
They so fine, so fine
I don't mind
(Oh Lord)

Gil... Gilbert, get the keys
U gonna have 2 drive, I can't (Oh Lord)
Let's get outta of here
I wish U heaven {repeat}
