It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since they took your love away
You go out every night and sleep all day
Since they took your love away
Since she’s been gone you can do whatever you want
You can see whom ever you choose
You can eat your 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
He’ll find out baby why did they go wrong
You could put your arms around every girl you see
But they'd only remind you of her
I went to the doctor n' guess what he told you
Guess what he told you
He said boy u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
‘Cause there all fools
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died and withered away
The day that you were put away behind those bars
That’s when I started the fight
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
