"Nothing Compares 2 U" lyrics

"Nothing Compares 2 U"
(originally by Sinéad O'Connor)

It's been seven hours and fifteen years
Since you took your love away
I go out and sing every night and run all day
Since you took your love away
Since you've been gone, I do whatever I want
And I see whomever I choose to
I eat my dinners in fancy restaurants
Nothing, 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 her song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me, baby, where did we go wrong?
Put my arms around every man I see
And it only reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me
He said, he said, "Girl, you better try to have fun no matter what you do," cause I'm the fool

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Nothing

All those flowers that you planted in the backyard
All died when you went away
I know that living was sometimes hard
But I was willing to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing compares to you
Nothing will ever
To, ooh
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
