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 u 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 around 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 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 back yard   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, nothing compares to you   Nothing compares, nothing compares to you
