About

My mother usually makes a comment or has a very strong opinion about everything including my songs. She's never afraid to tell me what she doesn't like about them. This one, however, really impressed her because she liked the words and it matched the music. Thanx mom!

Lyrics

Everything I've asked for
Falls into my hands
Everything I've ever wanted
I got as planned
I got a great big house
And a brand new car
Money, friends, like a movie star
But I still spend my nights
Thinking about
Where you are

Now I don't need everything I own
And I don't wanna live my life alone
No matter where I go or what I do
It just doesn't mean a thing
If I don't have you

He's got a one room flat
And a broken down car
He's got rusty strings and prob'ly missing from a cheap guitar
But the big difference I can see so far
Is that his messed-up life that's going nowhere is where you are

Now I don't need everything I own
And I don't wanna live my life alone
No matter where I go or what I do
It just doesn't mean a thing
If I don't have you

Everything I've asked for
Falls into my hands
Everything I've ever wanted
I got as planned
Money, money that's all I have
But it doesn't mean a thing
If I don't have you
It just doesn't mean thing
No doesn't mean a thing
