[Verse 1]
In a way, I really don't know much at all
And if you say that I'm simple, you're on the ball
On the ball to say that I'm going nowhere
But I'm going nowhere with love

[Verse 2]
They all say that I'm not impressive at best
That's okay, I've got nobody to impress
My impression is they'd rather be elsewhere
Oh, I'm staying nowhere with love

[Bridge]
Well, it's better to be happy in a cardboard shack
Than to be alone in a castle
All you get for your money is a heart attack
I'd just as soon alleviate the hassle

[Verse 3]
Every day, I watch the go-getters go by
Even they say the ladder is much too high
Why should I go high? I'm happy below there
Right here in nowhere with love

[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
Hey, it's better to be happy in a cardboard shack
Than to be alone in a castle
All you get for your money is a heart attack
I'd just as soon alleviate the hassle

[Verse 3]
Every day, I watch the go-getters go by
And even they say the ladder is much too high
Then why should I go high? I'm happy below there
Right here in nowhere with love
