I Got Nothing

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Vicki Peterson & Susanna Hoffs] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Susanna Hoffs & Vicki Peterson] 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 [Chorus: Vicki Peterson, Susanna Hoffs & Michael Steele, Debbie Peterson] I got nothing (Got nothing), too bad (Too bad, too) But I'm happy 'cause that's all I have (That's all I have) I've got nothing (Got nothing) they want (They want, oh) No false dreams that my pride's built upon [Verse 2: Vicki Peterson & Susanna Hoffs, Debbie Peterson & Michael Steele] Looking out their windows from their easy chairs (Hey, hey) I can see they think they got it beat (Hey, hey, hey) They just see a drifter in some worn out clothes (Hey, hey) Not someone it'd feel so good to meet (Hey, hey, hey) [Pre-Chorus: Vicki Peterson & Susanna Hoffs] 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 [Chorus: Vicki Peterson, Susanna Hoffs & Michael Steele, Debbie Peterson] I got nothing (Got nothing), too bad (Too bad, too) But I'm happy 'cause that's all I have (That's all I have) I've got nothing (Got nothing) they want (They want, oh) No false dreams that my pride's built upon [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus: Vicki Peterson & Susanna Hoffs] 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 [Chorus: Vicki Peterson, Susanna Hoffs & Michael Steele, Debbie Peterson] I got nothing (Got nothing), too bad (Too bad, too) But I'm happy 'cause that's all I have (That's all I have) I've got nothing (Got nothing) they want (They want, oh) No false dreams that my pride's built upon [Outro: Vicki Peterson, Susanna Hoffs & Michael Steele, Debbie Peterson] 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
