Nothing Lyrics

Nothing.
And nothing's where you're at
When you ain't got something
You'll never get it back
It's coming on like a drug
The universal power of one
And it won't mean nothing
if it all comes undone

And if you fly away
If you fly away
You might die today
If we fly, if you fly...

Give me some love
Give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing

You're left with nothing
And nothing's what you got
When you're left with no-one, no-one
You could have had the lot
And if it's over today
You'll never get that thing we had together
No way, you only get it once

Fly away, if you fly, if you fly...

Give me some love
Give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing
Give me some love
Give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing

We ain't got nothing
Our days are numbered we don't remember how we felt it
We'll never be the same, and forever take it for granted
You can't remember how it started

Give me some love
'Said give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we aint got nothing, nothing
Give me some love
'Said give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we aint got nothing, nothing
Give me some love
'Said give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we aint got nothing, nothing
Give me some love
'Said give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we aint got nothing, nothing
Give me some love
'Said give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we aint got nothing, nothing

Nothing.
And nothing's where you're at
When you ain't got something
You'll never get it back
It's coming on like a drug
The universal power of one
And it won't mean nothing 
if it all comes undone

And if you fly away
If you fly away
You might die today
If we fly, if you fly...

Give me some love
Give me some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing

You're left with nothing
And nothing's what you got 
When you're left with no-one, no-one
You could have had the lot
And if it's over today
You'll never get that thing we had together
No way, you only get it once

Fly away, if you fly, if you fly...

We ain't got nothing
Our days are numbered we don't remember how we felt it
We'll never be the same, and forever take it for granted
You can't remember how it started

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song to me means: that there are some things in life which you love and want to cherish again and again - but it is impossible to do that. It's like when you have a pet and it passes away after being with you for so long. You desperately want it back, but you know inside that nothing will replace the love that pet had for you. No other pet is good enough, simply This song could be about when someone is at an old age and his / her life has been exhilerating. After experiencing everything there is in life, you are left with nothing and you want to go back to the times when you had that life (You only get it once)
