17 Days (Piano & a Microphone 1983 Version) Lyrics by Prince

Piano & a Microphone 1983

2018

[Spoken Intro]
Is that my echo?
Give me the straighter one
Could you turn the lights down?
Good God!
[Verse 1]
Called you yesterday
You didn't answer your phone
Main drag is knowing that
You probably weren't alone
Turn the voice down a little
[Verse 2]
I wanna call you everyday
And beg you to be near me
I know your head is underwater
I doubt that you could hear me
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[Verse 3]
Been gone seventeen days
Seventeen long nights
The main drag is knowing that
You're holding someone else tight
[Verse 4]
I wanna to call you everyday
And beg you to be near me
I know your head is underwater
I doubt that you could hear me
[Chorus]
So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Hey hey
Rain
Oh baby, down!
[Refrain]
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Oh my seventeen days
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 5]
Been gone seventeen days
Seventeen long nights
Always a drag, baby, I know
You're holding someone else tight
[Verse 6]
I wanna to call you everyday
Beg you to be near me
I know your head is underwater
I doubt that you could hear me
[Chorus]
So let the rain come down
Come on down
Let the rain come down, down
Oh, oh
Come on down, yeah
Come on down, yeah, baby, oh
Yeah, oooh, yeah, oooh
Come down
Oh oh oh oh
[Refrain]
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[Non-Lyrical Outro]
