{{song-3| |song name = Drawers Burnin' |single image = Unreleasedsong.jpg</small> |performer = Prince |writer(s) = Prince (assumed) |producer(s) = n/a |previous song = Down A Long Lonely Road |next song = Dream |introduction = Drawers Burnin' is an unreleased song performed live on 7 June 1985, Prom Center, St. Paul, MN, USA (a one-off concert to celebrate Prince's 27th birthday), performed as part of a lengthy medley which also included Irresistible Bitch, Possessed, The Bird and Holly Rock.

The song bares striking similarities with Fleetwood Mac's World Turning from the band's 1975 Fleetwood Mac album and seems to be Prince's playfully mocking cover of the Fleetwood Mac song with perhaps improvised lyrics that include criticisms of the side effects of fame, including people trying to take Prince's picture.
