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 ... 
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? 
But they'd only remind me of you 
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, 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
