I'm not tryin' to be your hero

'Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr

'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

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
