Nothing's All I Got

She wouldn’t let me in So, I stand on the porch With all the other men Still carrying a torch I thought I had a chance I thought I had a shot I thought I’d get a dance But nothing’s all I got She had no open door She always kept it locked So, like all those before I stand out here and knock I tried to chase her down But she would not be caught She was a treasure found But nothing’s all I got I couldn’t wait her out No matter how I fought And I could scream and shout But nothing’s all I got I tried to ring her bell She left me here to wait All caught up in her spell I fear it’s just my fate I tried to play her game She tied me in a knot I tried to feed the flame But nothing’s all I got. I couldn’t wait her out No matter how I fought And I could scream and shout But nothing’s all I got
