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
