[Verse 1]
It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away

Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can do whatever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, I said nothing
Can take away these blues

[Chorus]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you

[Verse 2]
It's been so lonely without you here
I'm like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

I can put my arms around every girl I see
But they all remind me of you
I went to the doctor
Guess what he told me
Say you better try to have fun no matter what you do

[Chorus]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you

[Verse 3]
All the flowers that you planted in the backyard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it a try

[Chorus]
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you

Nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
