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
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2U

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 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 try to have fun,
no matter what you do"
But he's a fool
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2U

All the flowers that you plented mama
in the backyard
all died when you went away
I know that living with you baby
was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give you another try
nothing compares
nothing compares 2U
nothing compares
nothing compares 2U
nothing compares
nothing compares 2U
