[Verse 1]
Some girls tell you what you wanna hear
Those girls always make it very clear
But I know things are not what they appear
Nothin' from nothin' gets you nothin' at all

[Verse 2]
We talk hours on the telephone
But you shut down when we're alone
You stop us from being close
Nothin' from nothin' gets you nothin' at all

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason

[Chorus]
She don't want anything other than
She don't need anyone other than
She don't see anyone but herself, herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery
And make it ancient history

[Verse 3]
Some guys try to hide the way they feel
And sometimes, it takes someone to break the seal
You can't negotiate a one-way-deal
Nothin' from nothin' gets you nothin' at all
[Verse 4]
I'll wait, I've got the patience of a saint
I just don't want you to hesitate
'Cause you don't ever wanna mess with fate
Nothin' from nothin' gets you nothin' at all

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason

[Chorus]
She don't want anything other than
She don't need anyone other than
She don't see anyone but herself, herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery
And make it ancient history

[Bridge]
Don't mislead me
Don't mistreat me
I don't understand
Why you're wearin' me down
Please believe me
Why defeat me
I don't understand
Why you're breakin' me down!
[Chorus]
She don't want anything other than
She don't need anyone other than
She don't see anyone but herself, herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery
And make it ancient history
I will solve your mystery
And make it ancient history

[Outro]
