"Nothing Compares 2 U" lyrics
(originally by Sinead O'Connor)
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and I sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
But nothing can take away these blues
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
And nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every girl I meet
But they'd only remind me of you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers you planted in the backyard
All died when you went away
I know living with you was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and I sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
But nothing can take away these blues
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
And nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every girl I meet
But they'd only remind me of you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers you planted in the backyard
All died when you went away
I know living with you was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
