A Boy with Nothing

I thought I'd disappeared
When you said "It's over dear"
And with the tears I cried
I thought I'd surely drown

But the sea of time
Has been workin' on my mind
And I'm a way brought down
But I'm around

'Cause I'm a boy with nothin'
Who came from nowhere
But today
The people wanna hear what I say

I thought if anyone set anyone free
Wouldn't be you, it'd be me
I didn't know quite then
How much you've been around

But it's all over now
I made it alright somehow
And if you feel a way brought down
I'll be around

'Cause I'm a boy with nothin'
Who came from nowhere
But today
The people wanna hear what I say

So when your new lover and you
Do the things we used to do
Be it some place here
Or in a foreign span

I'll wish you the best
May God help you with the rest
And if you feel a way brought down
I'll be around

'Cause I'm a boy with nothin'
Who came from nowhere
But today
The people wanna hear what I say
But today
The people wanna hear what I say
