Letra Nothing Compares 2 U

Nothing Compares 2 U fue escrita y compuesta por Prince. Se hizo mundialmente famosa en la voz de Sinéad OConnor en 1990. La letra habla del dolor y la nostalgia que sentimos al perder a alguien que amamos. Prince escribió la canción pensando en una de las coristas de su banda, The Family. Después del éxito global de la versión de OConnor, la canción se consolidó como uno de los grandes éxitos de los años 90.

 It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out all 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 whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant - but 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 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 girl I see
but they'd only remind me of you
Went to the doctor guess what he told me - guess what he told me
he said boy 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 momma in the backyard
all died when you went away
I know that living with me baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
to you
