Letra Nothing Compares 2 U

A música Nothing Compares 2 U foi escrita e composta por Prince. Ficou mundialmente famosa na voz de Sinéad OConnor em 1990. A letra fala sobre a dor e a saudade que sentimos quando perdemos alguém que amamos. Prince escreveu a música pensando em uma das backing vocals de sua banda, The Family. Após a versão de OConnor alcançar sucesso global, a canção se consolidou como um dos grandes hits dos anos 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
