This song is somewhat of the male side of Better Man. It’s a ballad about a guy who has messed up, big time and lost his love. She was great, and she thought he was everything.

[Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Chorus]
Nothingman
Nothingman
Isn't it something, nothingman
[Bridge]
Ooh, she don't want him (she don't want him)

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Nothingman
Nothingman
Coulda been something, nothingman
Uh, uh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh
