Lyrics

It’s been se ven hours and (C)fif teen days

since U took your love a way.

I go out ev ’ry night and (C)sleep all day

since U took your love a way.

Since U been gone I can do what ev er I want.

I can see whom ev er I choose.

I can eat my din ner in a fan cy (C)res tau rant

but (Dm7)no thing, I said no thing, can take a way (A7)these blues.

’Cause (Eb)no thing com (Bb)pares,

no thing com (Bb)pares 2 U.

It’s been so lone ly with (C)out U here.

Like a bird with out a song.

Ah.

No thing can stop these lone ly (C)tears from fall ing.

Tell me, (Dm7)ba by,

where did I go (Bb)wrong?

I could put my arms a round ev ’ry (C)boy I see,

but they’d on ly re mind me of U.

(Ah.)

I went to the doc tor and guess what he (C)told me, guess what he told me.

He said (Dm7)“Girl you bet ter try to have fun, don’t mat ter (A7)what U do.”

But he’s a fool.

’Cause (Eb)no thing com (Bb)pares,

no thing com (C)pares 2 U.

Ah.

(F)All the flowers that U plan ted, ma ma,

in the back yard,

all died when U went a way.

Ah.

I know that liv ing with U ba by was (C)some times hard,

but I’m wil ling to give it an oth er try.

(Eb)no thing com (Bb)pares,

no thing com (C)pares 2 U.

No thing com (Bb)pares,

no thing com (C)pares 2 U.

No thing com (Bb)pares,

no thing com (C)pares 2 U.
