"Nothing Compares 2 U (The Hits version)" Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince & The New Power Generation - The Hits / The B-Sides - Nothing Compares 2 U

It's been 7 hours and 13 days
Since U took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since U took your love away

Since U've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose
Eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, oh yeah
But nothing, nothing could take away these blues, oh
Nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U (Oh baby)

It's been so lonely without U here
I'm like a bird without a song
Nothin' 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 U
(All my dames remind me of U 2 girl, oh yeah)

I went 2 the doctor, guess what he told me (What'd he tell U?)
Guess what he told me (I'm listening)
He said, "Rosie (What?)
Try 2 have fun no matter what U do" (U wanna tell me why?)
He's a fool
Yeah, nothing compares, no, nothing compares 2 U (Oh baby)

Tenor man, play it 4 me, yeah
All the flowers that U planted, sugar, in the backyard
All died when U went away

Ooh baby, I know that living with me, baby
Is sometimes hard, sometimes hard
But I'm willing, I'm willing, give it one more try (One more try)

Prince, do U know why? Do U know why?
(Do U need me? Do U need me now?)

Nothing compares, no, nothing compares 2 U (Oh baby)
Say it one more time, I say...
Nothing compares, no, nothing compares 2 U
