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 whoever 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, oh 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

So I went to the doctor 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 momma

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 (x3)

nothing compares
