"Some days [eye] feel tangerine / Some days [eye] miss u 2"—beautiful handwritten Prince poem that evolved into the song 'Tangerine'

Handwritten poem by Prince that contains lyrics used for the song ‘Tangerine,’ the sixth track from his 1999 album Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, signed by Prince in the lower right corner with his ‘love’ symbol. Penned in black ballpoint on an off-white 8.5 x 11 cardstock sheet, the poem reads: “Some days [eye] feel tangerine / Some days [eye] feel blue / some days [eye] just wanna black out everything [eye] ever felt 4 u / Even though [eye] take ur picture everywhere [eye] go [eye] use it 4 a coaster and drink the overflow / Some days [eye] make a lot of $ and give it all away 2 take my mind of[f] the tangerine color of ur negligee / Beggars can't b choosers and they don't know how 2 serve / u got a different phone number # and a lot of nerve / Some days [eye] feel tangerine / Some days [eye] miss u 2.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL. A visually enticing handwritten poem that later evolved into the Prince song ‘Tangerine,’ which appeared on his 23rd studio album, Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, and featured Rhonda Smith on the acoustic bass.
