Letra de
Nothing Compares 2 U

Nothing Compares 2 U é uma canção escrita e composta por Prince para um de seus projetos paralelos, a banda The Family. No entanto, a versão mais famosa da música foi realizada por Sinéad OConnor em 1990. A inspiração por trás da música é frequentemente atribuída ao término do relacionamento de Prince com sua noiva 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.
