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
