Lyrics
One, two, one, two, three
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 can take away the blues
Nothing compares, nothing compares to you
So lonely here without you
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 around every boy that I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, told me?
He said "Aretha, girl, you better have fun"
Woo, nothing compares, nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you sent me
They all died when you went away
I know it's hard living with me
But I'm willing to try, willing to try, willing to try, yeah
Nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing compares to you, boy
Nothing, nothing, nothing compares to you
Not strawberry sundaes
Not a ham hocks and greens
No one compares, yeah, yeah
Nothing compares to you
Not my roller-skates
Nothing compares to you
I love my garlic toast
But nothing, nothing compares to you
