Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U

Nothing Compares 2 U is a song written by Prince for his side project the Family in 1985. It expresses the emotions of a deserted lover. Sinéad O'Connor covered the song in 1990 for her album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got," and it became a massive worldwide hit. Prince also released his own version with Rosie Gaines in 1993, and the original studio recording was later released in 2018 and included in the posthumous compilation "Originals" in 2019.

It's been seven hours and 15 days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do"

But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted mama

In the back yard

All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you
