It was rejected from the album, however, and [[Prince]] later offered it to Joyce Kennedy of the band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Finest Mother's Finest], who turned the song down without recording a version. |

You better not be late." | The lyrics describe a tough girl, who will take your money, your self respect and your personality. "She keeps her money in a garter belt. Next to a .38.
