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
