Lyrics

I spent last night trying to write to you
But the words wouldn't come
I just couldn't go on
And the telephone won't do
You know I'm sick and tired of hearing
(You're never home) don't say it
'Cause I'm sick in the head and this hotel bed don't feel right
And I hope it doesn't show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say
And I feel the emptiness inside me
Feel the emptiness inside me
I have this feeling and I've got to get back
This feeling and I gotta get back to you
You know I had to get back to you, yeah
(There's no one else) there's no one else
(There's nothing else) there's nothing, there's nothing else
(There's no one else) you know I hear myself saying again and again
'Cause even if it doesn't show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say
I feel the emptiness inside me
I feel the emptiness
The emptiness inside me
You know I hope it doesn't show
I got this feeling
And I've got to get back
This feeling that I've got to get back to you
You know I had to get back to you, yeah
Oh, it's inside me
I have the emptiness, the emptiness inside me
I got nothing but the emptiness inside me
I got hollow down below, the emptiness inside me
I got nothing but the emptiness inside me
I got nothing to leave for, nothing to deal but the emptiness inside me
I got nothing, oh, but the emptiness inside me
You know I got hollow down below, say, the emptiness inside me
I got nothing
You know I got nothing but the emptiness, baby
Ooh, yeah
Emptiness, thank you
