[Verse 1]
It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away, oh
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away, oh
Since you've been gone, I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose, oh
I can eat my dinner at a fancy restaurant
But nothin', I said nothin' can take away these blues
[Chorus]
'Cause nothin' compares
Nah, nothin' compares to you
Nothing, nothing
[Verse 2]
It's been so lonely without you here
I'm like a bird without a song, oh
Nothin' can stop these lonely tears from fallin'
Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every girl I see
But they'd only remind mе of you, oh
I went to the doctor and guess what hе 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 nothin' compares
Nah, nothin' compares to you, oh
Nothing, nothing
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the backyard
All died when you went away, oh
I know that livin' with me, baby, was some kinda hard
But I'm willin' to give another try
[Chorus]
'Cause nothin' compares
Nah, nothin' compares to you
I said nothing compares
Nah, nothin' compares to you
[Outro]
Yeah
That's what you call, that's a **** take right there
Yeah, woo, we just did that
Hey, round of **** applause
