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 whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant-but nothing
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, oh where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every girl I see
But they'd only remind me of you
So I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
He said boy 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 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
