Verse 1:
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
Chorus:
Cos' nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Verse 2:
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 (girl) I see,
But they'd only remind me of you
So I went to the doctor and guess what he told me,
Guess what he told me, he said
(Boy) you better try and have fun,
No matter what you do, but he's a fool
Chorus:
Cos' nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Instrumental:
Verse 3:
All the flowers that you planted mumma, in the backyard,
All died when (she) went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard,
But I'm willing to give it
Another try
Chorus:
Cos nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Cos nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Nothing compares, nothing compares to you
