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      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 could put my arms round 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 mother   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
