Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - Nothing Compares 2 U 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
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, remind me of you

I went to the doctor n' 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 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

    +halonone ur a dummy just looking for attention with that stupid remark

  55. h.... ....

    Gave me a different look at the original when I heard this was about her dad.

    h.... ....

    Sinead sang this about her mom.......and the original was by Prince.

    h.... ....

    @David Angeles
    Ah you're correct sir my bad, I was told a few years ago it was her father she sang about in the Prince cover. Seems I was told incorrectly, thanks for the info David.

    B.... ....

    @Bob Black Coffee Dove soap or Dove chocolate? Cause, I think Dove chocolate actually could make you feel spiritually better.

    B.... ....

    @Drew Little Soap! Agreed about the chocolate.

  60. B.... ....

    Prince wrote this amazing song.  And this version, like everything Me First does is great fun and quality.  But Sinead O'Connor has the voice of an angel.  This is my favorite song of all time, I got Nothing Compared 2 U tattooed on my hand when I was 16, I'm now 30 and don't regret it. 

    All 3 versions are great, but if you can't appreciate the Sinead version you are a tin ear and shouldn't comment about music on youtube.

    B.... ....

    On your hand? Damn if I had a tattoo on my hand I wouldn't have been able to get a job and work in my dream country....

    B.... ....

    sinead O'Connor is an anti white piece of garbage

  61. F.... B....

    Rather funny to see all the comments about the "original" version.
    Newsflash! The original is not by Sinead O'Connor. It's a Prince song, originally done by The Family

    F.... B....

    Hers is way better than his, though.

    F.... B....

    @Animals Mistaken for Monsters
    Yeah, the real original one, that is to say the one by The Family, was actually kind of shit. Sinead O'Connor made it worthwhile.

    F.... B....

    @Starfighter Playthroughs Not going to argue that. I was just pointing out the wrongheaded notion that Sinead's version is the original. Many probably think she wrote it, too.

    F.... B....

    @Frank Booth It's opinion obviously, but personally I can't stand the version of it that The Family did.

  62. E.... ....

    I consider this the original version

    E.... ....

    You can like the song without lying to yourself, buy okay.

    E.... ....

    You can consider what you fucking like , it don't make no nevermind to the first artist to record it . Rather say it's your favourite version , mm

    E.... ....

    @vV listerfiend omg. A podawful fan in the mfatgg's comment aection. No shit! Good taste in 🎶

    E.... ....

    @Chuck Dumpster they are the world's greatest cover band

    E.... ....

    ErlangerVeritas 2019 “Respect and dignity.”

  63. B.... ....

    One of the best band names ever. Good cover, too.

  64. M.... ....

    They have a bigger, longer lasting and more loyal fan base than Sinead O'Conner ever had, and you don't even know who they are. Your opinion means nothing here.

  65. H.... ....

    The original is garbage compared to this.

    H.... ....

    Hydropyric 😂

  66. s.... f....

    you're a douche

  67. I.... G....

    hahahaha, you're funny

    How to ruin a masterpiece...

  69. s.... f....

    Where are you?

  70. D.... F....

    Nothing compares to you, mon.

  71. M.... B....

    first time Ive hard this band. Im hooked!

  72. C.... H....

    Old school Prince was ALWAYS cool. Have you ever heard Darling Nikki, Raspberry Beret, When Doves Cry, or Little Red Corvette? Dude killed in the day.

  73. a.... ....

    Even Seasons in the sun?

  74. A.... V....

    prince is somehow cool! ty me first!

  75. a.... ....

    You may want to see a doctor about that.

    a.... ....

    armegeddis but he's a fool

  76. y.... ....

    Sounds cool :) I like both versions. The original is quite subtle, soft and compelling and it really fits the lyrics.

  77. k.... ....

    POJEBY, AND IM LOVE YOU

  78. N.... F....

    Woncderful

  79. K.... ....

    Prince > Me First & The Gimme Gimmes > Sinead O'Connor

    Much as I love these guys, and their great version, Prince's will always win it for me

  80. c.... ....

    better then the original awesome ;)

  81. S.... G....

    El sonido de esta banda es excelent.
    The sound this band gets is excellent.

  82. K.... F....

    love sinead o connors version, but its ike listening to a totaly different song, absolutey brillant, and equally excellent as sinead's version. ............ addicted to this now !!!!

  83. 6.... ....

    Love this song!!!

  84. b.... r....

    Every Me first and the gimme gimme song makes my willy tingle.

  85. S.... F....

    mike is the guy in the glasses back center

  86. M.... D....

    no it isn't. it's a pretty cool cover though.

  87. A.... M....

    Sinead O'Connor sang it. Prince actually wrote it and he did a version of it. This is my favorite version of it though.

  88. z.... ....

    I've got a feeling that one fourth of the people who visit YouTube do so with the sole purpose to see how much flaming they can get away with. Not your fault.
    On topic --> nice cover! I'm no expert on music but I've the idea that the original is a hard song to play. They did a nice job on translating it.

  89. b.... ....

    He asked for the genre, I gave him the correct answer. I don't see what made you so upset.

  90. b.... ....

    Punk Rock actually.

  91. f.... ....

    Your mom is a NOFX side project.

  92. g.... ....

    My girlfriend is shouting that this is the inferior version.... Ha ha She is such a liar!! Her ears have failed! :-D This is LOUD! :-D

  93. l.... ....

    Sinead O'connor

  94. b.... m....

    nofx side project

  95. r.... ....

    Prince's version is still timeless though!

  96. r.... d....

    that was so amazing!!!

  97. M.... ....

    What's there genre

  98. E.... ....

    well, i was joking, but let's admit that thery are not so beautiful guys :) And it's a good thing!

  99. D.... P....

    None of the men in this band are ugly.
