[Verse 1]
Ain't nothing 'round here to me that's sacred
'Cept you, yeah, you
And there's nothing around here that I believe in
'Cept you

[Verse 2]
You're the one that reaches me, you're the one that I admire
Every time we meet ya now, I feel like I'm on fire
Nothing matters to me and there's nothing I desire
Except you, yeah, you

[Verse 2]
Nothing 'round here I care to try for
Except you, you
Got nothing here to live or die for
Except you, yeah, you

[Verse 3]
There's a hymn I used to hear in the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside, so peaceful, so sublime
There's nothing to remind me of that old familiar chime
Except you, yeah, you

[Verse 4]
Used to run in the cemetery
Dance and sing and joke when I was a child
And it never seemed strange
Now, I just pass mournfully
By that place where the bones of life are piled
I know that something has changed
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me
Except you, yeah, you
[Verse 5]
Nothing anymore seems to please me
Except you, yeah, you
Nothing hypnotizes me or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention, everybody's got somethin' to sell
Except you, yeah, you
I'm still in love with you
