Prince
"Nothing Compares 2 U" rehearsals
Paisley Park
April 1990

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 U
I went 2 the doctor and guess what he told me?
Guess what he told me?
He said boy U better try to 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 me baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing 2 give it another try
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
