Nothing Compares 2 U Songtext
von Prince & The New Power Generation

It′s been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every 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 who ever I choose
Eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, oh yeah
But nothing, nothing can take away these blues

Nothing compares, nothing compares to you (oh, baby)

It′s been so lonely without you here
I'm like a bird without a song
Nothing 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 you
All my dames remind me of you too girl, oh yeah


I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
(What'd he tell you?)
Guess what he told me
(I′m listening)
He said, "Rosie"
(What?)
"Try to have fun no matter what u do"
(You wanna tell me why?)
He′s a fool

Nothing compares (No), nothing compares to you
(Oh, baby)
(Tenor man, play it for me)

All the flowers that you planted, sugar
In the backyard, all died when you went away

Oh baby, I know that living with me, baby
Is sometimes hard, sometimes hard
But I'm willing, I′m willing to give it one more try

One more try
Please do you know why, do you know why

Nothing compares (No), nothing compares to you
