Lyrics

[Chorus]

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

[Verse 1]

I'm not tryna be your hero

'Cause that zero is too cold for me, brrr

I'm not tryin' to be Your Highness

'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah

Ah, ah

Hey

[Verse 2]

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

Uh, and I'm not stuffin'

Believe you me

Don't you remember I told ya

I'm a soldier

In the war on poverty, yeah

Y-yes, I am

[Chorus]

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me, aw, baby

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

That's right, babe, aw, yeah

[Outro]

Gotta have somethin'

Wanna be with me

You gotta bring me somethin', girl

If you wanna be with me
