It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out all 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, 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, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around
any girl I choose
But they just remind me of you
I went to the doctor and 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, mama, in your 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

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares to you
To you
