Lyrics

[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

[PreChorus]

Since you've been gone, I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

[Chorus]

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothin', I said nothin' can take away these blues

[Chorus]

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 U

[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?

[Verse 3]

I could put my arms around every boy I see

They'd only remind me of you

[PreChorus]

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 2 U

[Bridge]

All the flowers that you planted, mother

In the backyard

All died when you went away

[PreChorus]

I know that livin' with you, baby, was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

[Chorus]

Nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 U

Nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 U

Nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 U
