[Intro]

Ow!

[Chorus]

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

You gotta have something if you wanna be with me

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

You gotta have something if you wanna be with me

[Verse 1]

I'm not trying to be your hero

'Cause that zero is too cold for me

I'm not trying to be your highness

'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah

Ah, ah

Hey

[Verse 2]

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

And I'm not stuffing, believe you me

Don't you remember I told ya

I'm a soldier in the war on poverty

Yeah, yes, I am

[Chorus]

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

You gotta have something if you wanna be with me, oh baby

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

You gotta have something if you wanna be with me

That's right, ha, yeah

[Outro]

Gotta have something if you wanna be with me

You gotta bring me something, girl, if you wanna be with me
