THE BANGLES - I Got Nothing LYRICS

(S. Hoffs/V. Peterson/J. Shear)

Susanna & Vicki



I got nothing

There's no sense in looking back

All my yesterdays went up in flames

Now I'm gonna

Just forget what's in the past

I don't even recognize their names



Two undiscarded lives, a simple proposition

Everyday a little pain

Survival's up to me, since every time I

Open my eyes the world remains



I got nothing (got nothing)

Too bad (too bad)

But I'm happy cause that's all I have (that's all I have)

I got nothing (got nothing)

They want (they want)

No false dreaming, I practically just won



Looking out their

Windows from their easy chairs

I can see they think they got it beat

They just see a

Drifter in some worn out clothes

Not someone who'd taste so good to meet



I'm more ashamed of them than what I'm wearing

Not reaching past the window ledge

There's a view of life that we're not sharing

'Cause they won't walk out to the edge



I got nothing (got nothing)

Too bad (too bad)

But I'm happy cause that's all I have (that's all I have)

I got nothing (got nothing)

They want (they want)

No false dreaming, I practically just won.

Two undiscarded lives, a simple proposition

Everyday a little pain

Survival's up to me, since every time I

Open my eyes the world remains



I got nothing (got nothing)

Too bad (too bad)

But I'm happy cause that's all I have (that's all I have)

I got nothing (got nothing)

They want (they want)

No false dreaming, I practically just won



I got nothing (got nothing)

Too bad (too bad)

I got nothing (got nothing)

Too bad

I got nothing

Too bad

I got nothing

Too bad
