lyrics

Well I've been sitting here
For a long, long time
Just trying to figure out how to make her mine
Well I got an MFA degree
But that don't mean I can read her mind

If you'd just come over here for a little while
You would see
That when I had everything
Oh it didn't mean much to me
Yeah I had a maid just for my maid
And she got paid more than a diamond Thief

I don't I don't
Have nothing at all
Nothing to give you
But my love
Baby they took all my money
And all my shiny things
And my drugs

We could run away
Back to Brooklyn and count the stars
It might take a hundred years
To get there in my broken down car
Or we could go and make a movie
You be Czarina
And I'll be the Czar

I don't I don't
Have nothing at all
Nothing to give you
But my love
Baby they took all my money
And all my shiny things
And my drugs

Lead me there
And take your time
I'm ready for the long way
'Cause it's just so hard
With these nickels and dimes
To make you love me
So take all that you want
None of this is mine
I have got to start to find
A way to die

I don't I don't
Have nothing at all
Nothing to give you
But my love
Baby they took all my money
And all my shiny things
And my drugs

I don't I don't
Have nothing at all
Nothing to give you
But my love
Baby they took all my money
And all my shiny things
And my drugs
