Nothing On You
D.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause 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
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 mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
The song "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor is a melancholic ballad about the pain of lost love. In D.O.'s version of the song, he brings a smoother R&B flavor to the melody. The lyrics tell the story of a person who has been abandoned by their lover, and they're struggling to move on. The opening lines, "It's been seven hours and fifteen days since you took your love away," are repeated throughout the song to emphasize how long it's been since the heartbreak. The singer confesses that they have been having a hard time dealing with the absence of the other person in their life.
Despite being able to do anything they want, like eating in luxurious restaurants or seeing anyone they desire, there is a deep emptiness that fills their soul. The singer misses their former partner so much that even the most trivial things around them bring back memories of their time together. The line, "I could put my arms around every boy I see, but they'd only remind me of you," is a powerful example of how deeply the singer's psyche has been affected. Instead of embracing someone new, they're still holding onto their past and haven't moved on.
The final verse of the song reveals that the singer is still holding onto the hope of reconciliation with their partner. They express their regret that they weren't able to make the relationship work, but they're willing to put in the effort to try again. The chorus repeats the phrase "nothing compares to you" to emphasize the impact the departed lover has had on the singer's life. It's a haunting melody that captures the essence of the pain that follows a breakup.

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Ever since you left me seven and a half days ago
Since you took your love away
Since your love left me
I go out every night and sleep all day
I keep myself busy at night and sleep during the day to avoid thinking about you
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
Now that you are gone, I can live my life the way I want to
I can see whomever I choose
I am free to date whomever I want
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
I can afford to eat at expensive restaurants
But nothing
However
I said nothing can take away these blues
I am still sad and nothing can change that
'Cause nothing compares
Because nothing else is like
Nothing compares to you
You are unique and nothing can replace you
It's been so lonely without you here
I feel really lonely and miss you a lot
Like a bird without a song
Like a bird that can't sing
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
No matter what I do, I can't stop myself from crying
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
Please tell me where I messed up
I could put my arms around every boy I see
I can hug any guy I want to
But they'd only remind me of you
But each one would only make me think of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
I visited a doctor and guess what he said
Guess what he told me?
Can you guess what he said?
He said girl you better try to have fun
He told me to have fun
No matter what you do, but he's a fool
But he is foolish to think that having fun can make me stop missing you
'Cause nothing compares
Because nothing else is like
Nothing compares to you
You are unique and nothing can replace you
All the flowers that you planted mama
All the flowers that you planted for me
In the back yard
At the back of the house
All died when you went away
All the flowers died when you left
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
I know that being with you was not always easy
But I'm willing to give it another try
But I am willing to try again
'Cause nothing compares
Because nothing else is like
Nothing compares to you
You are unique and nothing can replace you
Nothing compares
Nothing else is like
Nothing compares to you
You are unique and nothing can replace you
Nothing compares
Nothing else is like
Nothing compares to you
You are unique and nothing can replace you
