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
   I could put my arms around every boy I see
   But they'd only remind me of you
   I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
   Guess what he told me
   He said girl u better try to have fun
   No matter what you'll 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
   Nothing compares
   Nothing compares to you
   Nothing compares
   Nothing compares to you
   Nothing compares
   Nothing compares to you
