It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out all 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 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 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, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around any girl I chose
But they'd just remind me of you
I went to the doctor and 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, mama, in your backyard
All died when you went away
I know that living with me, baby, is sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
