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 (3x)
