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 been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothin, I said nothin can take away these blues

CHORUS:
(Cause) nothing compares,
Nothing compares to you *repeat 2x more at end of song*

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 can 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

All the flowers that you planted mama
in the back yard
All died and they withered away
I know that livin with you baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try
