John Wesley Harding – Nothing At All lyrics

Nothing at all

I give you everything you wanted
I give you all that you require
Say the word and I'll get on it
I'm here to realize your desires

So I don't know why
You don't try
Cause I get no assistance at all from you
Will you even reach hand out when I fall
Do you understand me?
Do you understand me?

Nothing gets nothing at all
Nothing gets nothing at all
I'm falling
Nothing gets nothing at all

It wasn't Cain who had three daughters
I think perhaps you've seen the plan
He asked them all how much they loved him
The youngest didn't want to say

And you're just like her, Cordelia
Well you can save us all from a world of hurt
Or you can watch me bang my head against the wall
Am I speaking English?
Am I speaking English?

Nothing gets nothing at all
Nothing gets nothing at all
I'm falling
Nothing gets nothing at all

Oh you're such a cruel mistress
A silent psychopath
Can we get back down to business?
Can't you do the math?

And it's just too bad that you can't add
Will you wait forever to call my bluff?
'til I'm slumped and barely breathing in the storm?
Please give me something...anything!

Nothing gets nothing at all
Nothing gets nothing at all
I'm falling
Nothing gets nothing at all
