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 who ever 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 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 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
