Letra de
Nothing Compares 2 U

Nothing Compares 2 U fue escrita y compuesta por Prince para uno de sus proyectos paralelos, la banda The Family. Sin embargo, la versión más famosa de la canción fue interpretada por Sinéad OConnor en 1990. La inspiración detrás de la canción se atribuye a menudo a la ruptura de Prince con su prometida Susannah Melvoin.


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 been gone I can do what-ever 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
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 U.

It's been so lonely without U 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 only remind me of U.
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me guess what he told me
he said: "girl U better try to have fun no matter what U do"
but he's a fool
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.

All the flowers that U planted mama
in the back yard
all died when U went away
I know that living with U baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing 2 give U another try
nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.
nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.
nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.
