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
I can 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

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor 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 backyard
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
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
