Nikka Costa Nothing lyrics

It's late in the evening
You're breathing with someone else
You come home to call me

And I ask you
"What you've been doing with yourself?"
And you say nothing at all
You say nothing at all

Your flight is longer than usual
And your conscience ain't no company, oh no
I'm there smiling and warm

Ooh, I missed you so
And can't wait to show you how I feel
But you feel nothing at all
You feel nothing at all

There we were
Never strangers before
There was a light that shined on us
But now there's nothing at all


Oho, oh, you should've taken a look around
Before you laid that woman down, yeah, yeah
You better get a hold of yourself
'Cause there's a woman here
Who's willing to try

Weeks go by
And your mind seems preoccupied
I felt a piece missing here

But when I ask you about what's going on?
You say, "It's all me my dear"
So I thought nothing of it all
I thought nothing at all

Oho, oh, you should've taken a look around
Oh, before you laid that woman down, yeah, yeah
You better get a hold of yourself
'Cause there's a man in you about to die
With nothing, with nothing
