Nothing to You

[Verse 1]
Well, my kind's been around forever
Yet I claim to be one of the few
But the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves
'Cause I'm gay as a choirboy for you

[Verse 2]
You got hair that recalls me of rivers
Runs softly while you dream of you
But your heart is so cold that it shivers
'Cause all that I know is I'm nothing to you

[Verse 3]
And I followed you into the party
That no one invited me to
But alone I made love to my forty
And played make-believe it was you

[Verse 4]
But I watched you forget your belongings
And belongings, you've got quite a few
I filled up your bags with my longings
And searched through this whole wide city for you

[Verse 5]
And we'll walk 'neath the street lamps forever
You'll say you remind me of you
It's so damn cliche that it's clever
It's so fucking false, you think that it's true

[Verse 6]
'Cause I heard that you've got you were lover
And lovers you've got one or two
But you can't tell one from the other
Now mama, now you're nothing to you

[Refrain]
And it's down by the riverside (wasting away)
And it's down by the riverside (beating the clay)
And it's down by the riverside (wasting away)
And it's down by the riverside (beating the clay)

And it's down by the riverside, wasting away
And it's down by the riverside, beating the clay
And it's down by the riverside, wasting away
And it's down by the riverside, beating the clay

And it's down by the riverside, wasting away
And I'll watch you throw features at you
Yeah, down by the riverside, beating the clay
'Cause mama, you're nothing to you

Yeah, down by the riverside, wasting away
And I'll watch you throw features at you
Yeah, down by the riverside, beating the clay
'Cause mama, you're nothing to you

Yeah, mama, you're nothing to you
Yeah, mama, you're nothing to you
