Lyrics
You're Taking Nothing With You
Music and Lyrics by Stuart Ridgway (c) 2003
Verse 1
You believed in me and I trusted you
You had that something that I could grab onto
I thought I'd found, the secret,
the meaning of life.
But when the time came
and you just had to leave
I thought I'd lost it all, I was so naïve
But then I figured it out,
was just a matter of time.
Prechorus 1
You didn't give me my life
You didn't give me my soul
You didn't give me strength
or my self control
I'm gonna keep it all,
you're taking nothing with you.
Chorus 1
No me quitaras nada.
You're Taking Nothing With You.
No me quitaras nada.
You're Taking Nothing With You.
Verse 2
It took some time to know that it's true
In felicity, there is no Y-O-U
Ev'rything I need is right here inside.
When I look back
at all the things that I've done
Seen so much and my life's just begun
I've always had what it takes,
it takes to survive.
Prechorus 2
You didn't give me my life
You didn't give me my soul
You didn't buy me this house
or my new silver Rolls
I'm gonna keep it all,
you're taking nothing with you.
Chorus 2
No me quitaras nada.
You're Taking Nothing With You.
No me quitaras nada.
You're Taking Nothing With You.
Bridge
I was afraid, when you left, that if I gave in
If I bowed down, gave up hope
then I'd just let you win
So I'll take a chance and I'll show the world that I am alive.
I'm moving forward, won't get caught up
Because what's done is done
I have the power, have the future
And I've already won.
I've got my dignity
My possibilities
They're all inside of me.
Prechorus 3
You didn't give me my life
You didn't give me my soul
You didn't make me complete
you don't make me whole
You didn't get me this job
You never paid my bills
You'll never figure it out,
you won't get it until
You see I've got it all,
you're taking nothing with you.
Chorus 3
No me quitaras nada
You're taking nothing with you
No me quitaras nada
You're taking nothing with you...
No, no, no, no, no me quitaras nada
