It's been seven hours and sixteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love awaySince u 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
Nothing can take away these blues'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 uIt's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me where did I go wrongI can throw my arms around any girl I choose
But it just reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what it 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, heyAll the flowers that you planted, mama
In your back yard
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
