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've 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,
'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
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 round every boy I see
but they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl you better try to have fun
no matter what you do
but he's a fool
'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted momma
in the backyard
all died when you went away
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try
I don't know how to love him,
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed yes relay changed;
In these past few days when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this,
I don't see he move me,
He's a man, he's just a man,
And I've had so many men before,
In every many ways, he's just one more.
Should bring him down? Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love, let my feeling out
* I never though I'd come to this, what's it all about*
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
So calm so cool, no lover's fool.
Running every show, he scares me so.
(Repeat *)
Yet if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope just couldn't cope,
I'd turn my head, I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so, I want him so, I love him so.
