And 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
But since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
And 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
And it's been so lonely without you here
I'm like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
I can put my arms around every girl I see
But it only reminds me of you
I went to the doctor, guess what he told me, guess what he told me?
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
And all the flowers that you planted mama in the backyard
All died when you went away
And I know that living with me 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
