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 do whatever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing can take away these blues
[Verse 3]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
[Verse 4]
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears
Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong?
[Verse 5]
I could put my arms around every girl I see
But they'd all remind me of you
I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
Said you better have some fun no matter what you do
[Verse 6]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
[Verse 7]
All the flowers that you planted in the backyard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it a try
[Verse 8]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
