[Verse 1]
It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, I said nothing
Can take away these blues

[Chorus]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing

[Verse 2]
It's been so lonely without you here
I'm like a bird without a song
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?I can put my arms around every girl I see
But they'd only remind me of you
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I went to the doctor
Guess what he told me, guess what he told me?
He said boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do
But he's a fool
[Chorus]
'Cause nothing compares
No, nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing

[Verse 3]
All the flowers that you planted mama in the backyard
All died when you went away
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I know that living with me baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

[Chorus]
'Cause nothing compares
No, nothing compares to you
I said nothing compares, no no no
Nothing compares to you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Oh you, oh you)
