We used to go out
Walking hand in hand
You told me all the big
Things you had planned
It wasn't long
Till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second
Place with you

You have no time
To love me anymore
Since fame and fortune
Knocked upon our door
And I spend all
My evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home

If we could share
An evening now and then
I'm sure we'd find true
Happiness again
You never hold me
Like you used to do
Oh, it's funny what success
Has done to you

You have no time to
Love me anymore
Since fame and fortune
Knocked upon our door
And I spend all my
Evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
Success has made a failure of our home

I never changed
I'm still the same
I never changed
Stop what you're saying
You're killing me
And am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
...
Am I not?

Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
