Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (Original MV)


Lyrics:

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away

Since u been gone 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
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'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
And guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool

`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

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 to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u


Nothing Compares 2 U", covered by Sinéad O'Connor in her album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got", was a number-one hit in 1990. It was originally written around 1984 or 1985 by Prince for the R&B band "The Family". Considered to be one of the 1990s best videos, the clip consists almost solely of a closeup on O'Connor's passionate face with an iconic ending when a genuine tear rolls down each side of her face. This MV is the first video by a female artist to win Best Video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.
