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

'Cause nothing compares

nothing compares to you...

It's been so lonely

without you here

like a bird without a song

Nothin' can stop these

lonely tears from fallin'

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 livin'

with you, baby

was sometimes hard

but I'm willin'

to give it another try...

Nothing compares

nothing compares to you

nothing compares

nothing compares to you

nothing compares

nothing compares to you
