Part I


[Verse 1]

You, can I make it known

I'd like to take you home

You been away so long

I'd like to see you


[Pre-Chorus]

When I saw you at the local hop

I tried to take you but you made me stop

Then I saw that you were dancing with a rent-a-cop


[Chorus]

Whoa, whoa, the minute you pulled me through

Whoa, whoa, you thought that then you knew

If not today, I'd find a way

To get to you

Part II


[Verse 1]

Just a little of nothin'

That's all you had the time to give

Just a little of nothin'

Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me


[Verse 2]

If you'd only have listened

You'd have heard every word I said

Just a little of nothin'

Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me


[Refrain]

Da, da, da, da da da, da da da

Da, da, da, da da da, da da da

Da, da, da, da da da, da da da

Da, da, da, da da da, da da da


[Chorus]

Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')

Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')

Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')

Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')


[Bridge]

Newton-under-Roseberry topping

And it's cold and it's wet and you feel like you're [?] time

Living in the gap between the echoes

Feeling it hot and feeling it cold


[Outro]

As long as there are fish in the sea

Have a cup of tea

Oh, as long as there are fish in the sea

Have a cup of tea

'Cause you are running from the ring of the golden bell

Like a bat out of hell

You are running from the ring of the golden bell

Like a bat out of hell

You are running from the ring of the golden bell

Like a bat out of hell

You are running from the ring of the golden bell

Like a bat out of hell

Part III


[Verse 1]

There's a lady across the hall

She's telling me it's all right (all right)

I'm tryin' to give her my all

She's sayin' I'm uptight

Hell of a way to spend an afternoon


[Verse 2]

Saw a movie tonight

Got frightened and broke down (broke down)

Got a call in the night, my old lady just hit town

Take her away, she's tryin' to turn me round

I'm nowhere to be found


[Outro]

I can't unread the pages I've already read

And I can't feed these ages left in my head

They're already dead, yeah
