It's been seven hours and 15 years
Since you took your love away
I go out and sing every night and run all day
Since you took your love away

Since you've been gone, I do whatever I want
And I see whomever I choose to
I eat my dinners in fancy restaurants
Nothin', nothin' can take away these blues

'Cause nothin' compares
Nothin' compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without her song
Nothin' can stop these lonely tears from fallin'
Tell me, baby, where did we go wrong?

Put my arms around every man I see
And they only reminds me of you
I went to the doctor, and guess what he told me, guess what he told me
He said, he said, "Girl, you better try to have fun no matter what you do," 'cause I'm the fool

Nothin' compares
Nothin' compares to you
Nothin' compares
Nothin' compares to you
Nothin'

All those flowers that you planted in the backyard
All died when you went away, mm
I know that livin' was sometimes hard
But I was willin' to give it another try

Nothin' compares
Nothin' compares to you
Nothin' compares
Nothin' compares to you
Nothin' compares
Nothin' compares to you

Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin'
Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin' compares to you
Nothin' will ever to, ooh
Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin'
