[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

[Verse 2]

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 around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor and 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

[Chorus]

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

All the flowers that you planted, mama, 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

[Outro]

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you
