John Wesley Harding Nothing At All lyrics

I'd give you everything you wanted
I'd give you all that you require
Just say the word and I'll get on it
I'm here to realise your desires

So I don't know why you don't try
'Cause I get no assistance at all from you
Will you even reach your hand out when I fall?
Do you understand me? Do you understand me?

Nothing gets nothing at all
Nothing gets nothing at all
I'm falling, I'm falling
Nothing gets nothing at all

There was a king who had three daughters
I think perhaps you've seen the play
He asked them all how much they loved him
The youngest didn't want to say

And you're just like her Cordelia
You can save us all from a world of hurt
Or you could watch me bang my head against your wall
Am I speaking English? Am I speaking English?


Nothing gets nothing at all
Nothing gets nothing at all
I'm falling, I'm falling
Nothing gets nothing at all

Oh, you're such a cruel mistress
A silent psychopath
Can we get back down to business?
Can't you do the math?

It's just too bad you can't add
Will you wait forever to call my bluff
'Til I'm slumped and barely breathing in the stall?
Please give me something, anything

Nothing gets nothing at all
Nothing gets nothing at all
I'm falling
Nothing gets nothing at all
