1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 It's been 7 hours and 15 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, what 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 Nothing compares, nothing compares to you Scat Scat Scat All the flowers that you sent me They all died when you went away I know it's hard loving with me But I'm willing to try, willing to try, willing to try 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, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing Nothing, nothing compares to you Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing compares to you Not strawberry sundaes Not ham hocks and greens Nothing compares, nothing compares to you Not my roller skates Nothing compares to you I love my garlic toast But nothing, nothing compares to you
