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. 
Since you 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 - 
I said 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 baby where did I go wrong? 
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 have fun, 
No matter what you do». 
But he's a fool! 
`Cause nothing compares, 
Nothing compares to you. 

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, 
Nothing compares, 
Nothing compares to you… 
Nothing compares, 
Nothing compares to you… 
Nothing compares, 
Nothing compares to you…
