It's been seven hours and sixteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
Nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
I can throw my arms around any girl I choose
But it just reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do"
But he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you, hey
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In your backyard
All died when you went away
And I know living with me is sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you, to you
To you
