about

"Nothin'" is my homage to vintage torch songs of the '40s and '50s.

lyrics

Nothin’ © 2002 JAY SPEARS MUSIC ASCAP

What does he do, when I’m feelin’ blue? Nothin’.
What does he say, when I’ve had a bad day? Nothin’.
What does he show me to make me know he’ll always be there for me,
And make me believe that he’ll never leave? Nothin’, that I can see.
What makes me think he won’t drive me to drink? Nothin’.
I’m helpless, exhausted, hopelessly lost at sea.
And what can I say or do, to hear him say “I love you”,
And know that it’s really true? Nothin’.

What can I do to write him off, wake up and smell the coffee? Nothin’.
I’m helpless, exhausted, hopelessly lost at sea.
So I guess I’ll just pay my dues,
and learn how to sing the blues.
What have I got to lose?
Nothin’.
