Lyrics

Nothing Compares 2 U

It's been 7 hours and 13 days/Since U took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day/Since U took your love away
Since U've been gone I can do whatever I want/I can see whoever I choose
Eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, oh yeah/But nothing, nothing could take away these blues, oh

Nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U (Oh baby)

It's been so lonely without U here/I'm like a bird without a song
Nothin' can stop this lonely rain from falling/Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong?
Oh baby, I can put my arms around every boy I see, oh yeah/But they only remind me of U
(All my dames remind me of U 2 girl, oh yeah)/I went 2 the doctor, guess what he told me
(What'd he tell U?)/Guess what he told me (I'm listening)
He said, "Rosie (What?)/Try 2 have fun no matter what U do"/(U wanna tell me why?)/He's a fool

Yeah, nothing compares, no, nothing compares 2 U/(Oh baby)

Tenor man, play it 4 me, yeah/All the flowers that U planted, sugar, in the backyard
All died when U went away/Ooh baby, I know that living with me, baby
Is sometimes hard, sometimes hard/But I'm willing, I'm willing, give it one more try
(One more try)/Prince, do U know why? Do U know why?/(Do U need me? Do U need me now?)

Nothing compares, no, nothing compares 2 U/(Oh baby)
Say it one more time, I say.../Nothing compares, no, nothing compares 2 U
