Despite being a double album, Sign 'O' The Times only had 2 singles with unreleased B-sides. The first was the title track, "Sign 'O' The Times", which was backed with "La La La, He, He, Hee" (written as a challenge from Sheena Easton). The second single — "If I Was Your Girlfriend" — was backed with "Shockadelica". Interestingly, both the single and its B-side were from the aborted Camille album.

La, La, La, He, He, Hee (Extended Version)

Oh, oh, oh, oh! {represents dog barks}

I am a dog outside your door
I have been there since a quarter 2 4
U are a cat looking intense
I bite your leg in self-defense

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Get out my tree grinnin' at me
Licking your tail like it's cream
Strokin' your whiskers, causing a scene
That's not the way 2 me (the way 2 me)

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

CHORUS:
And the doggies say 2 the kitty
La, la, la, he, he, hee
I want U, U want me
Oh, how sexy it will be
If we ever get 2gether in my tree

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Hey little pussy, U sure look sweet
Knockin' me off of my 4 feet
Sure do wish dogs could climb (I wish, I wish)
Then we could have a funky good time

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Say it again! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Why U wink at me? I don't really see
Nasty little cat up, up in a tree
Is it really worth the one night of fun?
U've got 9 lives, I've only got one!

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

CHORUS

Say it! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

CHORUS

I'm picking up your scent

Oh, how sexy it will be
If we ever get 2gether in my tree
In my tree

(Somebody's gonna get it 2night)
(I'll see ya 2night)

If I was a dog and U was a cat
Baby, I'd show U where it's at
Hey little pussy, U sure look sweet
Knockin' me off of my 4 feet

La, la, la, he, he, hee (La, la, la)

(Oh Lord, say it again)
La, la, la, he, he, hee
Let's get 2gether in my tree (In my tree)
Oh, how happy we will be

La, la, la, he, he, hee

Ow, put your foot on the rock
Sock it, sock it, sock it (Oh mama), don't U stop it
Ow, put your foot on the rock
Sock it, sock it, sock it (Oh no), don't U stop it

Shockadelica "If I Was Your Girlfriend" 12" Single © 1987 Paisley Park Records

Shockadelica (Extended Version)

Oh yeah!
Yeah!
Looka here

(The lights go out)
The lights go out, the smell of doom
Is creepin' into your lonely room
The bed's on fire, your fate is sealed
And U're so tired and the reason is Camille-mille

Shockadelica - The girl must be a witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched
Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, but she never wears a stitch
So U can't take her home

She got U tied with a golden rope
She won't let U play your guitar
And when U've cried enough
Maybe she'll let U up 4 a nasty ride in her shockadeli-car

She'll make U beg her ("Please girl")

Shockadelica - She got U in a trance
Cuz when this woman say dance, U dance
Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, but U just can't leave her alone
With her U got no mind of your own

Shockadelica, Shockadelica
Doo bee, doo bee, doo bee, yeah!
Shockadelica, Shockadelica
Doo bee, doo bee
Shockadelica

The lights go out, the smell of doom
Again is creepin' into your lonely room
Is this a dream or is this real? (Or is this real?)
Or is this just a mirage U feel?
Shockadelica {x2}

Shockadelica - She must be witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched
Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, she never wears a stitch
U can't take her home

Shockadelica - She got U in a trance
When this girl say dance, baby, baby, baby, U dance (Shockadelica)
U dance, U dance, U dance, U dance, U...

Shockadelica (She must be a witch)
Shockadelica (She got my mind, body, and soul hitched)
Doo bee, doo bee, yeah
Shockadelica (I think I need a... I think I need a second opinion)
Shockadelica (I don't know...)
Doo bee, doo bee, doo bee, yeah!
Shockadelica {x4}

The lights go out, the smell of doom is in my room
Is this a dream or is it real?
Is this loneliness I feel?
Shockadelica, Shockadelica

The girl must be a witch, bitch!
Get up, U be layin' on my guitar
Faster bitch, get up!
2 times
Get up! Do it!
Give me one more, come on!

Shockadelica
Doo bee, doo bee, doo bee, yeah!

Shockadelica is a feeling, the lonely cold
Sleepin' alone will bore ya and.. and soon U grow old
In lust we will suffer, but in love we will grow
Shockadelica is a feeling nobody should know
I'm talkin' about the lonely cold mama

Shockadelica {repeated}
Everybody sing 2gether now, yeah!
Shockadelica (Shockadelica) {x2}
Doo bee, doo bee, doo bee, yeah! {repeated}

Everybody got the feeling, the lonely cold
Come on, everybody got the feeling, the lonely cold
Come on (Shockadelica)

The lights go out, the smell of doom
Again is creeping into your lonely room
Is this a dream or is this real?
Or is this just a mirage U feel? {repeated loop}
(Shockadelica)
