Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me
I’m not tryin' to be your hero
'Cause that zero is too cold for me, brrr
I’m not tryin' to be your highness
'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
And I’m not stuffin'
Believe you me Don’t you remember I told ya
I’m a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah
Yes, I am Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me You gotta bring me somethin' girl
If you wanna be with me
Man I want to go back to 1974. My favorite song. I was a 19 year old Marine. Getting ready to deploy to Okinawa. Love every song Billy Preston sang and Im a 64 yr old from the Hills of Charleston West Virginia. Love you Billy.
Thought this song was catchy when I heard it at work. Listened to the lyrics for the first time just now. Holy crap. This song is one HELL of a dis to whatever girl the guy was singing to.
Bring back shows like The Midnight Special and Soul Train, and get rid of these suck-ass "reality" shows. This is the kind of music we listened to back in the day!!
