Can’t Do Nothing

All this time been playing our home movies in my mind

So sublime, but you don’t hear a single word I say

What’s the use? I’ve seen the light but we’re here in the shade

That’s the truth, so I’ve got to let you know

 

Every time we say goodbye I can’t do nothing

And it’s killing me inside, I can’t do nothing

You can taste the tears I’ve cried, but you don’t do nothing

So, I’m asking myself ‘why?’

Gotta do something

 

Look at me, not asking you for any sympathy

Don’t you see that you’re the only one there’s ever been?

If we’re through then I’m the one who’s waking from a dream

I need you, so I’ve got to let you know 

 

Every time we say goodbye I can’t do nothing

And it’s killing me inside, I can’t do nothing

You can taste the tears I’ve cried, but you don’t do nothing

So, I’m asking myself ‘why?’

Gotta do something

 

Gotta do, gotta do it

I’m working on, said I’m working on it

Gotta do, gotta say, gotta be, gotta pray, gotta live every day

Gotta love all the way

Gotta do, gotta say, gotta be, gotta pray, yeah, yeah

Gotta keep on working on it, gotta keep on working on it, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Can’t do nothing

Every time we say goodbye I can’t do nothing

And it’s killing me inside, I can’t do nothing

You can taste the tears I’ve cried, but you don’t do nothing

So, I’m asking myself ‘why?’

Gotta do something
