Doesn't Mean Anything Lyrics
without a care
but if i'm still in my dreams
and you aren't there
cuz it's over
that just won't be fair
no food to eat
cuz i don't want nobody
if i have to cry
cuz it's over
when you said goodbye
i had it all
but doesn't mean anything
now that you're gone
seems i had it all
but it doesn't mean anything
since you're gone
it's no surprise
being alone will make you realize
when it's over
all in love is fair
i had it all
but doesn't mean anything
now that you're gone
seems i had it all
but doesn't mean anything
since you're gone
what can i do that will save our love
take these material things
they don't mean nothing
it's you that i want
i had it all
but it doesn't mean anything
now that you're gone
seems i had it all
but it doesn't mean anything
since you're gone
see i had it all
but it doesn't mean anything
now that you're gone
seems i had it all
but it doesn't mean anything
since you're gone

i find the lyrics quite trite, but got the song on loop cuz her delivery and the low-keyness of the arrangements is catchy.

Listening to this song really makes me think about what I'm doing. I've left my family, friends, and partner to work in a different country, and while the financial rewards are much greater (to the point where I'm booking flights for travel every month), it still feels very sad, lonely, and depressing.

the words to this song conjur up images of someone who has become successful and has lost their love and are lamenting that their success doesn't mean anything without that person by their side...or for that matter... at all! I don't know much about Alicia Keys personal life and relationships... but I wonder if perhaps this is something that she has experiences as a lot of her songs are quite autobiographical

I agree I think that it's someone who was in a relationship and on the road to fame and fortune but something went wrong in the relationship and he left. Now she sees that the fame and fortune is nothing because she doesn't have him anymore so she minus well have nothing

It really "Doesn't Mean Anything" when your 4th CD sounds just like your first... still whining over some guy who dumped you 8 years ago? At first we felt sorry for you, Alicia... now get over it already!
It's sad you have no value for music... I feel sorry for YOU.
It's sad you have no value for music... I feel sorry for YOU.
