Written by: Prince

lyrics

It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out all night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see who ever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing 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 this lonely rain from falling
Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around any boy I see
But they only reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what it told me, guess what it 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, sugar
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with me baby is sometimes hard
But I'm willing, I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
