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
[Verse 2]
Since you've been gone, I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I cho-oose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, said nothing can take away these blues
[Verse 3]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
[Verse 4]
It's been so lonely, without you here
Like a bird without a song, oh, woah
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
[Verse 7]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
[Verse 8]
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
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
[Verse 9]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
Ohh
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
Ohh
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
[Verse 10]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
Written by: Prince, Prince Rogers Nelson
