Claude Kelly
Same Dumb Excuse (Nothing to Lose)
I should be brave with nothing to lose
That's how I was until the day I met you
Now I'm afraid that I don't know what to do
A couple of things I've really got to tell you

Dive off a cliff, jump from a plane
All sound easier than what I've gotta say
Go for a swim, with sharks in the sea
All sound easier than me telling it to you straight

I've got nothing to lose, oh oh oh oh
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
Cause, I've got nothing to lose, oh oh oh oh
I've got nothing to lose
But you

To get you to laugh
Get you to smile
Get you to tell the world
That you're on my side
Make me a star
At least in your eyes
Lets take on the world
But first, I gotta make you mine
Dive off a cliff, jump from a plane
All sound easier than what I've gotta say
Go for a swim, with sharks in the sea
All sound easier than me telling it to your face

I've got nothing to lose, oh oh oh oh
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
Cause, I've got nothing to lose, oh oh oh oh
I've got nothing to lose but you

No, the words ain't coming out
But tonight, it's going down

I should be brave, with nothing to lose
That's how I was until the day I met you

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
Cause, I've got nothing to lose, oh oh oh oh
I've got nothing to lose but you
I've got nothing to lose, oh oh oh oh
I've got nothing to lose but you
No, the words ain't coming out
But tonight, it's going down
I've got nothing to lose, oh oh oh oh
I've got nothing to lose but you
