You’ve Got Nothing, Part 1

Lyrics

[AUGUST] There There it is There's the look that launched a thousand thoughts The first time that I saw it You remember, Marlena, when you met me? You were running from your life And I was running out of money You had nothing I had nothing But when you looked at me You looked at me Like I was everything that you'd ever need And so it's strange to see That look again But not for me Forgive me I've been blathering on You asked me a question, Jacob You wanted to know what I thought of your Thoughtful suggestion I think that a gift is a gift And you'rе free to reject one But hеre's a suggestion Don't deign to spit in a man's face and then Call it communion Remember, you'd have nothing You've got nothing without me [AUGUST, spoken] I mean, whatever happened to "Thank you"? [MARLENA, spoken] Don't, Auggie All Jacob meant was— [AUGUST, spoken] Oh, good [AUGUST] Here's the translator Equally eloquent at speaking adulterer As she is elephant Tell me, my darling, which language comes easier? I have my theories [MARLENA, spoken] Auggie, that's enough [AUGUST] Put a ring on a finger And what do you get? You get happily married And a little in debt And then after a decade of marital bliss You find out it don't amount to a thimble of piss Turns out You've got nothing You meant nothing To her [MARLENA, spoken] August, calm down and listen to me! [AUGUST] You think it's easy? You think what I do for you is easy? Dealing with the rubes And the bookers The broken-down kinkers All of them trying to cheat me At least we could trust each other At least I could trust my wife! [MARLENA, spoken] Talk to me! Don't accuse me! [AUGUST] Oh, accuse you! You all but admitted it The minute I walked in The two of you scurried Like rats from a gutter You think I can't spot a little spat Between lovers? And suddenly You've got nothing You've got nothing To say [JACOB] I'm not gonna stand here and let him go on like this [MARLENA] Don't get involved, Jacob, please [MARLENA & AUGUST] Don't get involved [AUGUST] That's rich Coming from the bitch who can't stop herself getting involved A bit late! But it's still great advice Or to be more precise Don't go screwing another man's wife— [MARLENA, spoken] Stop! That is enough!
