It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since wewe took your upendo away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since wewe took your upendo away
Since wewe been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my chajio, chakula cha jioni in a fancy restaurant
But nothing ...
I alisema nothing can take away these blues,
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without wewe 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
But they'd only remind me of you
went to the doctor guess what he told me
Guess what he told me?
He said, girl, wewe better have fun
No matter what wewe do
But he's a fool ...
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to wewe ...
All the flowers that wewe planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when wewe went away
I know that living with wewe baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to wewe
Since wewe took your upendo away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since wewe took your upendo away
Since wewe been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
