Nothin' from nothin’ leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

Nothin’ from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

I'm not tryin' to be your hero

Cause that zero, is too cold for me

I'm not tryin' to be your highness

Cause that minus, is too low to see

Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin'

And I’m not stuffin', believe you me

Don't you remember I told ya

I'm a soldier in the war on poverty

Nothin’ from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me
