Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's been seven hours and thirteen days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

[Verse 2]

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

No, nothing compares to you

Nothing, nothing

[Verse 3]

It's been so lonely without you here

I'm 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 girl I see

But they'd only remind me of you

[Verse 4]

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me?

Guess what he told me?

He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do"

But he's a fool

[Chorus]

'Cause nothing compares

No, nothing compares to you

Nothing, nothing

[Bridge]

All the flowers that you planted, mama

In the backyard

All died when you went away

I know that living with me, baby, was some kind of hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

[Chorus]

'Cause nothing compares

No, nothing compares to you

I said nothing compares

Nothing compares to you
