Woke up this morning
You were lying by my side
My heart was filled with love
My soul was filled with fire

I thought of days gone by
And all the love I had
Then I realized
They were loves gone bad

'Cause no one can compare
With your tenderness (No, nothin')
Nothin' compares with your tender kiss (No, no)
Nothin' so rare
As the love that we shared

It's like the perfect
Just like the perfect love affair
(Just like the perfect love affair)

My lips upon your face
And gently touched your skin
I thought I saw you smile
I thought I saw you grin

When you turned my way
And looked into my eyes
Then I realized
My love was paradise
'Cause nothing can compare
With the love you gave (No, nothin')
Nothin' compares
With the love we made (No, no)

Nothin' so rare
Has the love that we shared
It's like the perfect
Just like the perfect love affair

'Cause nothing can compare
With the love you gave (No, nothin')
Nothin' compares
With the love we made (No, no)

Nothin' so rare
Has the love that we shared
It's like the perfect
Just like the perfect love affair

Even in a crowded room
I always hanged around
Then you came along
And now that feelin's gone

'Cause nothing can compare
With the love you gave (No, nothin')
Nothin' compares
With the love we made (No, no)
Nothin' so rare
Has the love that we shared
It's like the perfect
Just like the perfect love affair

Oh, it's like the perfect
Just like the perfect love
It's like the perfect
Just like the perfect love
It's like the perfect
Just like the perfect love affair
