It's been seven hours and fifteen days Since you took your love away I go out every night and I 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 Oh nothing compares Nothing compares to you It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song And nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling So tell me baby Where did I go wrong? I could put my arms around every girl I see But they'd only remind me of you I went to the doctors and guess what he told me He said Boy you better go and have fun no matter what you do Cause she's a fool Oh nothing compares Nothing compares to you And all the flowers that you planted Mama In the backyard They all died when you went away I know that living with you baby gets sometimes hard But I'm willing to give you another try Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you Oh nothing compares Nothing compares to you Oh nothing compares Nothing compares to you
