Lyrics

NOTHING LOVE
BB 9/7/10

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS FREE LOVE BABY
ANYBODY SAYS DIFFERENT THEN I SAY THEY'RE CRAZY
THERE'S NO FREE LOVE BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT LOVE IS BLIND
'CAUSE I SURE NEVER SAW WHAT WAS A COMIN
WHAT I THOUGHT WAS LOVE TURNED OUT TO BE NOTHIN
NOW NOTHIN IS ALL THAT I CAN SAY IS TRULY MINE

WELL THERE AIN'T NOTHIN FREE BABY,NOTHIN'S FOR FREE
I GOT A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHIN, BUT IT SURE DID COST ME
WHEN LOVE CAME UPON ME I COULDN'T SUPPORT IT
FREE LOVE'S A JOKE IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT
MY LOVE GOT AWAY WITH NEARLY EVERYTHING THAT I OWN

MY LOVE HAD A STANDARD AND I COULDN'T MEET IT
SHE TOOK ME TO COURT AND I COULDN'T BEAT IT
NOW MY LOVE OWNS NEARLY EVERYTHING THAT USED TO BE MINE
YEA, MY LOVE WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T LEAVE ME NOTHING BEHIND

NOW NOTHING IS ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT TO OFFER
THE CUPBOARDS ARE BARE AND I DON'T HAVE A COFFER
IF I STILL HAD A HOUSE BABY, IT WOULD BE EMPTY
MY HOUSE WENT AWAY ON THE DAY BABY LEFT ME
AND THE WORST THING ABOUT IT IS SHE EVEN KEPT MY DOG
