[Verse 1: Prince]
It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away

[Verse 2: Rosie Gaines]
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want, baby
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, boy
Nothing can take away these blues, oh yeah

[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing

[Verse 3: Prince]
It's been so lonely without you here
I'm like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop this lonely rain from falling
Tell me, mama, where did I go wrong?

[Verse 4: Rosie Gaines & Prince]
Ooh, baby, I can put my arms around every, every boy I see
But they'd only remind of you and all my ladies remind mе of you too, baby
You know what? I went to the doctor, guess what hе told me>>
What'd he tell you?
Guess what he told me? I'm listening
He said, "Rosie, girl!" What?
"Try to have fun no matter what you do"
You want to tell me why?
He's a fool, yeah
Sing it
[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, Prince

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 5: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
All the flowers that you planted, sugar
In the backyard
All died when you went away
You know what?
I know that living with me, baby, sometimes hard
Sometimes hard
Sometimes hard
It is
But I'm willing
I'm willing to give it one more try
Prince, do you know why? Do you know why?

[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
(Say it one more time for me, sugar)
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
[Outro: Prince]
Rosie Gaines!
You happy, Minneapolis?
