Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all got different ways
But the dues we've got to pay are still the same
Trying to change the script for this old play
Reading and not feeling what you say
You' re coming on too strong for me to stay
Interpret what you're seeing anyway
Seems the simple things are the hardest to explain
It's going to come too soon, there's another way
Footprints in the snow will show well things are still the same
Beneath the wall of sound someone helps to live againI've been doing the math
Ever since you left
Pondering the properties of lonelyness
Stacking your efforts
Right up against mine
You know I get the same answer everytime
Chorus:
You take four-hundrend seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh now zero
Ummm,ummm
Now I remember learning all of this
Back in school
Guess I never did apply it to me and you
So I guess I'll be the one
That'll carry the blame
Cause sometimes nothing
Always ends the same
Chorus:
You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
You put 'em all together
And you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh nothing but zero
Ummm,ummm
Now everytime I think of how hard you cried
Baby by blues just multiply
Chorus:
You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Oh you get zero
Oh nothing but zero
Oh yeah zero
