Been doin' the math ever since you left |
|
Pondering the properties of loneliness |
|
Stacking your efforts right up against mine |
|
You know I get the same answer every time |
|
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days |
|
A million and one promises made |
|
Put them all together and you throw 'em away |
|
You get zero |
|
Nothing but zero |
|
Oh, zero |
|
Mmmmmmm... |
|
I remember learning all of this back in school |
|
I guess I never did apply it to me and you |
|
So, I guess I'll be the one to carry the blame |
|
Something times nothing always ends the same |
|
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days |
|
A million and one promises made |
|
Put them all together and you throw 'em away |
|
You get zero |
|
Nothing but zero |
|
Oh, zero |
|
Mmmmmmm... |
|
Every time I think of how hard you try |
|
Baby, my blues just multiply... |
|
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days |
|
A million and one promises made |
|
Put them all together and you throw 'em away |
|
You get zero |
|
Nothing but zero |
|
A great big zero |
|
Whoa, zero |
