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
Cuz that zero is too cold for me,
I'm not tryin' to be your highness
Cuz that minus is too low to see, yeah..
Aa'aa.. Hey..

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, yeah
Yes, I am

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 mee,
That's right baby, oh yeah..

You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me
You gotta bring me somethin' girl, if you wanna be with me
