Nothin` from nothin` leaves nothin`
You gotta have somethin` if you wanna be with me
Nothin` from nothin` leaves nothin`
You gotta have somethin` if you wanna be with me 

I`m not tryin` to be your hero
`Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr
I`m not tryin` to be your highness
`Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah 

Nothin` from nothin` leaves nothin`
And I`m not stuffin`, believe you me
Don`t you remember I told ya
I`m a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah
Yes, I am 

Nothin` from nothin` leaves nothin`
You gotta have somethin` if you wanna be with me
Nothin` from nothin` leaves nothin`
You gotta have somethin` if you wanna be with me 

You gotta have somethin` if you wanna be with me
You gotta bring me somethin` girl, if you wanna be with me
