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 

'Cause nothing compares, 
Nothing compares to you 
Nothing, nothing 

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 

'Cause nothing compares, 
No, nothing compares to you 
Nothing, nothing 

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 

'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)
