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
