Prince - Nothing Compares 2 U Lyrics
It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away
I'd go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
I can do whatever 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
'Cause nothing compares—
No, nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing
I'm 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
I went to the doctor and 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—
No, nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing
All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with me, baby, was some kind of hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares—
No, nothing compares to you
I said, nothing compares to you
Oh, no, no nothing compares to you

Prince Nothing Compares 2 U Comments
Still sickened & heartbroken over the loss of such an extremely talented human.The younger generation's will never truly understand the loss ....beyond sadness of the skill's, talent, gift & magic he brought to us all ...will forever treasure his music, dance, composure, talent, artistic blessing's...etc.... Filled with sorrow & love for him... Forever will enjoy what he gave us 🎶
Yeah but No.. i still prefer sinead. Sorry im just being honest. My fault i know.
I forgot how cool Prince was. Can we turn back time, PLEASE?
I'll never forget where I was when Prince passed away. I was laid up in this cute girls bed I was bangin. She walked into her bedroom about 7am the morning of April 21st 2016 and said "Prince Died" and what made it bizarre I was literally just randomly talking about Princes music the day before the frenzy. R.I.P. Prince.
What performance was “nothing compares 2 U” played over here? He sure wasn’t doing all that dancing to it obviously— I’d like to also hear the music in this superb performance, even though I love “nothing compares 2 U!💜💜💜💜
He's one of the most underrated musicians. I'm from Germany and there are so many people who don't know him. 😓 Prince we'll love you and we will never forget you❤️. Nothing compares to you. You are a legend!
I don't like a lot of his music,but at some moments you can see how brilliant he really was.
Who in the world wouldn’t like this?
Your Prince and mine.
James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder all rolled into one. A kind of car that doesn't pass you every day. I'm so glad all his music is now shared with everyone so they can see his talent on full display. It deserves that much.
I wonder what Prince thought of Cornells cover of this song, more on the soul side.
mil vezes melhor na voz de O'Connor
Prince een van de beste singers in de wereld
the fuck, this is a prince song as well? Did he write every fucking song or what?
2020👊🎶🎵💪
Prince is The Music
So much better.
When I think of vision and commitment, I think of Prince. Whenever he had a vision, he always saw it through until completion, never took no for an answer (or if he did, he found a way to get what he wanted) and did whatever it took to make that dream a reality. His rehearsals would go on for 12-24 hours straight in front of a wall of mirrors so that he and The Revolution could see how they look onstage to others. His soundcheck before any given night's concert could extend up to four (4) hours. Prince wanted excellence. Not perfection, but excellence. He wanted the absolute best out of any musician he played with. He wanted THEIR best, not necessarily his. I don't believe we will ever see such commitment and love for music from a single artist like Prince ever again. Bruno Mars is great but still just a shadow of what Prince was. We love you, Prince. Rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Prince 💜💜💜 your leagacy forever lives on
Legends never die!
I love you ❤️😘
Prince is alive in my heart 💜
#buttlessbritches
Facts: prince never took it in the ass...in his life or music career...laugh but it's true....if you trying to do it in music... don't take it unless you want to...SIIIIIIING and let the walls fall down like Jericho...
I'm still waiting on your last name you promised me. Thin
I'll
Feel like myself 😔😔😔 oh yes
very nice Beautiful
Best Ever
There were two Price's. The White Prince, the glitzy pop star selling millions of albums of commercial pop dance music. But than there was the Black Prince, the guitarist, the musician, and the true Artist. And under his true guise he wrote the best music ever. But very few ever had a chance to experience that side of Prince. Those who did, will never forget him as a true artist. This was just a taste of that side of Prince. I hope someday an anthology album will be produced, demonstrating his best personal underground works. The works of art that he cherished as a looking glass onto his true self.
The Family : Nothing compares 2 U. (1985) :)
RIP. You are so missed.
wow this sucks hard
So many great musicians have endured so much pain in their lives and transform it into some of the most beautiful music ever heard. RIP to all of these wonderful people that left us way too soon.
Damn I'm a woman and i can't even dance like that in my heels WOW.
DAMN! He could dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I see Beyonce doing these moves I'm telling 🤔💯
This song make me want to cry because it is a beautiful song and missing out on life.
Ugh. Kill the sax solo though.
The Amis think the dancing is real. PLEASE HELP THEM
Rien .

Rovinata la canzone originale di Sinead O'Connor
.... daddy...
The most talented man that ever existed. I truly miss him, nothing can stop these lonely tears from from falling. Prince nothing compares to you.
Nothing compares to him!
Legends Live Forever
No diss to sinead but this version is much better. Shame we only got it posthumously
Now complete the trilogy and listen to Chris Cornell singing the same.
He wrote the song
fuck the bald robber!!!!!
Personally I like o'conner's version better. To me this song doesn't need drum fills or horns.just too choppy for my liking. Again, IMHO.
I have to think that, back in the day, the masses mourned the incredible early loss of Mozart. Such an unbelievable talent in so many ways, Prince made everything look so easy.
It breaks my heart knowing that the man died alone on an elevator while absolutely adored by millions the world over.
We will never see anyone like him again.
Lyrically this slaughters me, his music just pours out of him, its like when he sings he is really baring his soul and I'm pleased he shared his talent with us. Thank Mr Nelson.
I JUST COULD WATCH HIM ALL DAY ! JUST SO FUN SO SEXY FUN
aside from purple rain this one is my favorite a lot of emotions put into it.
😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
it’s been so lonely without you here, like a bird without a song. nothing can stop these lonely tears from failing😢 RIP
Prince, great inspiration.... From batdance 1989...until today...2019...prince forever live....
2:22-2:34 🥰
The best song of Prince
Thank you for sharing this. Grateful for having seen Prince live. I was so very surprised at how humble and sensitive he was. Superstar sensually sensational. xx
Why would anyone even dislike this song!?
He murderd a perfectly brilliant song
He wrote the song!!! #facts
There are 3.9k people I never want to meet or speak to
Superb! This is the Prince.
This version is on point 🤘
💔😢💔😢💔😢💔
Chris Cornell rocks this song!!
Only 1 Prince.
great jam video for an epic song !!
Why did you have to die man? Why?
I love you MPLS if you're righteous
I think prince SUCKED! Never did a good song EVER! Including this one. I never understood why people got so hung up on him. As far as being the best guitarist eric clapton dont know jack shit. STEVIE RAY is #1....FUCK PRINCE!!!! :-)
I miss him so much! He is perfection! 💜💜💜💜
I watched this video and started crying. Why do people have to leave the RIH 👑
Amber ap I love u guys and yo family
The case of Prince is pretty simple.
He had so much talent and he was such of good writer but unfortunately he born in the wrong time .
When the king michael jackson was on his prime and to make things worst for him people were saying he was just a mj wanna be
Sadly we had to lost him to apreciate his work.
Most definitely Kimberly Marie Osterhout Ash nothing can be compared to you Kimberly especially from the kindness of your heart missing you like crazy no doubt about it Rosalind Morgan
Always thought Sinead's version was the best till I heard this.
Mm... I would still give it to Sinead... but I actually did like Prince's original.
andreaneilcmc agree, he should have kept it for himself :)
That footwork puts a lot of validity to the Charley Murphy story😉
Creeeepppppyyyy.... I dance better than u...!!
Damn...
Aside from all the other amazing things he did, let's not gloss over the fact that all his badass dancing was performed in high heels. Dude was strong as fuck
I never thought for two shits that Eric looked like prince at all ..??? Prince is too short
This the original song blues lovers not Dave Mack how y’all missed this I don’t know 🤷🏿♀️
Who else agrees that prince had a side to him that nobody understood and he was quite a sad person not sad as in stupid sad as in emotional
Muchos dicen que horrible esta versión pero esta es la original y si Shinead o Connor la mejoró y la dejo en la cima cómo lo es hoy día.
O Connor vendería su alma al diablo por tener tan solo el 1% de la creatividad de Prince.
America has lost an icon. Some people called elvis presley America's king, well prince is America's purple prince the symbol. Prince forever!
He gave this to Shinead O'connor
Shit-head O'Connor.
please no comment sniping....................../????????????????????????????????????greatest lead guitar s debatable and naturally OPINION i dont know but he killed his guitar live in Landover Maryland @capitol Centre and he can still make me weep....thats what I want in some of my music -S O' conner does his tune real proud, too.
...”official video”?!🤔🤔😐
Chris Cornell did a cover of this song also, just a beautiful song, it's on YouTube. RIP fellas!
3 years later ....& still here we are ...cryin purple tears with our hearts in our hand 💜💔💜 this is the song I heard nonstop the day he left us 😞
This was amazing.
Nothing compares 2 U my precious Prince, I miss you 😥
Only the good die young. Genius...
Prince was not a prince he was a.king
damn Prince damn
I can see why he didn’t approve of Sinead O Connors rendition, clearly lacks the emotional currency his vocals and instrumentation brings to this. If he would’ve released this it would’ve easily topped the charts
The fuck you on about, her rendition made the song. She killed it, her vocals are perfect compared to this bland version.
Horrible, Sinead O'Connor by far the best rendition.
First heard this version in a halle berry movie yeara ago. Glad to get to hear it again.
The NPG performing at Bernie Sanders rally tomorrow!
