I Got Nothing

[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
