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 nothing, nothing can take away these blues      'Cause nothing compares   Nothing compares 2 u      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, 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 2 u, come on      All the flowers that you planted, mama, 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      Nothing compares   Nothing compares 2 u   Nothing compares   Nothing compares 2 u   Nothing compares   Nothing compares
