Nothing compares to you

This morning I heard this song on the radio and I realized I remembered every line of it. I cranked up the volume and sang along. It brought me back in time, back to my years in college and an afterschool party with a boyfriend I met that particular night..

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 around every boy I see

They'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?

Guess what he told me?

He said: Girl you'd better try to have fun

No matter what you do

But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares to you..

All the flowers that you planted, mama

in the back yard

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

Nothing compares to you...
