When You Were Mine [SEQUEL TO THE GIRL IS MINE]

Back In The Studio

175: INT. PAISLEY PARK (STUDIO) DAY FADE IN:

A few days later, Rachael is back in the studio for the upcoming album.

RACHAEL: (comes in)

PRINCE: Hey Rach, how you feeling?

RACHAEL: Better than ever!

PRINCE: Good, it's nice to see you feeling better. You ready to record?

RACHAEL: Yes.

PRINCE: Great, the first song you're gonna do is "Want You Back In My Life Again."

RACHAEL: Awesome! (goes into the booth)

PRINCE: Ready?

RACHAEL: Yes.

PRINCE: (plays the track)

RACHAEL: (starts singing)
You know it doesn't seem that long ago
That I had your love and let it go
And I really let you down I know
I'm losin' your love
I guess it took a while for me to see
What it is you really mean to me
I've been as big a fool as I can be
For losing your love
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me
There was a time I thought I had it made
But I didn't see the price I had paid
And the price gets higher ev'ry day
And all I can say is
You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me
You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I want you, know that I need you
Back in my life... (track fades)

PRINCE: Damn girl, that was perfect!

RACHAEL: Thanks!

PRINCE: Ready for the next one?

RACHAEL: Yup!

PRINCE: All right, Somebody's Been Lying, take one. (plays the track)

RACHAEL: (starts singing)
Somebody's been lyin'
Somebody's been callin' me tellin' me he still loves me
But not the way I thought it would be
He's makin' fun of me and laughin' at my dreams
And I know that he keeps...
Sayin' not to worry
He's tellin' me to just hold on
But he's not here to lean on
And words won't warm my bed now he's gone
It isn't easy letting go of what we had
And I guess
I'm just scared
And I still believe him though I'd be wiser to go on my own way
Somebody's been lyin'
And I know you're tellin' me only the things you want to
I guess I lie as much as you do
It seems so funny letting go of yesterday
Guess we're much too afraid and we're much too alone
Were we just too much in love?... (track fades)

PRINCE: You did it again babygirl!

RACHAEL: Thanks, it's just hard to get into the mood with these songs, I've never really been heartbroken as far as a breakup goes.
