SINCE MY BABY’S GONE, NOTHING RHYMES
THE CLOCK ON THE WALL TELLS ME IT’S LATE
AND NOTHING MATTERS ANYMORE
SINCE THE DAY YOU CLOSED THE BOOK
AND THE BIRDS ARE BLUE WHEN I HEAR THEM SING
AS I WAIT BY THE PHONE BUT IT DON’T WORK
NOW I’M SO SAD WITHOUT MY BABY
NOTHING NOTHING RHYMES

WELL I START TO CRY WHEN I HEAR YOUR NAME
I ONLY HAVE MYSELF TO TALK TO
I’M AS BLUE AS I CAN BE
I WONDER WHY YOU SET ME UP, OH
JUST SO YOU COULD DO ME WRONG
NOW MY LIFE’S LIKE AN OLD MERLE HAGGARD TUNE
I’M SO SAD WITHOUT MY BABY
NOTHING NOTHING RHYMES

NOTHING RHYMES BUT I’M GONNA GET BETTER
NOTHING RHYMES I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE A NOTE..
SAYING

I DON’T NEED YOU I GOT MY DOG
I’M A PRINCESS YOU’RE A FOOL
AND SOON YOU’LL MISS ME AND YOU’LL CALL
MAYBER SUMMER MAYBE WINTER MAYBE SPRING OR AUTUMN
NOT A CHANCE YOU KNOW CUZ I GOT PLANS
I’LL BE DANCIN’ AND ROMANCIN WITH A BRAND NEW MAN
OH WHAT DO YOU KNOW TALK ABOUT TIMING
I GOTTA GO CUZ EVERYTHING’S RHYMING
I’M MOVIN’ ON THOSE DAYS ARE GONE
WHEN NOTHING NOTHING RHYMES
