| 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'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 me baby where did I go wrong? | |
| I could put my arms round 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 | |
| he said girl 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 mother | |
| in the backyard | |
| 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 |
