"Nothing Compares 2 U" lyrics
"Nothing Compares 2 U"
(originally by The Family)
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you've 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 and 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
Writer(s): Prince Rogers Nelson
"Nothing Compares 2 U" is the second single from Sinead O'Connor's studio album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". O'Connor and Nellee Hooper produced it. The song was premiered on January 8, 1990.
Prince wrote this song for his side project "The Family" and first recorded it in 1984, although that recording was released as a single with its
music video only in 2018. "The Family" released it on their only album in 1985.
In the
music video for this track, Sinead O'Connor sings in front of the camera and walks through the Parc de Saint-Cloud in Paris. Her tears on the close-up shots of her face were real. She didn't expect to cry, but then thought,
"I should let this happen."

We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too
Bad...

And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark

And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't...
