its 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''''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
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 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
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
