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 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 baby, where did I go wrong?
I can put my arms around every boy I see
But they''d only remind me, remind me of you
I went to the doctor and 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, 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
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
