Sinead O'Connor | Nothing Compares 2 U | The Late Late Show | RTÉ One

Sinead performs her iconic song in tribute to Prince.

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've been gone
I can do whatever I want

I can see
whomever I choose

And I can even eat my dinner
in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing
can take away these blues

Because 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?

You see, I could put my arms
around every boy I see

But they'd only
remind me of you

I went to the doctor
and guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said, girl,
you better try to have fun

No matter what you do

But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

All the flowers
that you planted, momma

In our back yard

All died
when you went away

And no, oh!

I know that living with you,
baby, was sometimes hard

But I'm willing
to give it another try

Oh, nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you
