the one who wrote this is a genious: what he says is sooo true

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 whoever 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, oh 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 guess what he 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

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted momma
in the backyard
all died when you went
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try

nothing compares
nothing compares to you (x3 until fade)
