The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
It's been seven hours and thirteen days Since you took your love away I go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away Since you 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 No, nothing compares to you Nothing, nothing It's been so lonely without you here I'm like a bird without a song Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me, babe, where did I go wrong? I could put my arms around every girl I see But they'd only remind me of you (oh oh oh) 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 No, nothing compares to you Nothing, nothing All the flowers that you planted, sugar In the backyard All died when you went away Oh oh oh I know that living with me baby was some kind of hard But I'm willing to give it one more try 'Cause nothing compares No, nothing compares to you I said Nothing compares Oh no no, nothing compares to you, ooh ooh ooh, you
