Nothing Compares 2 U

working and listening to pandora.com and this song came up. omg--instant time travel back to college and living in an apartment off campus. i wore this tape (not CD, tape) out! the whole album is wonderful--will have to dig the CD out this weekend now. prince wrote this particular song, so of course i totally love it. but her voice is so haunting and it totally spoke to me (as do all songs at a certain time) during that time of my life. wow. ok, field trip's over, back to work.

Sinead O'Connor
Nothing Compares 2 U

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 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 to you
It's been so lonely without you 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
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
