Sunday Serenade: nothin on me

This song is from one of my English CDs, Shawn Colvin's A few small repairs..

The ratio of my CD collections is 10:1 with Chinese/Cantonese CDs dominating my music taste, yet this CD was one of the rare few that I've bought simply because the songs appealed to me at that particular moment in time.. it was a CD for keeps..

This is the last song on the album.. one of my favorites.. :)


Nothin on me
performed by Shawn Colvin

Well I don't tell jokes
And I don't take notes
You been sayin'
There ain't much hope
You got nothin' on me

I got friends uptown
And they don't talk down
They've been keepin me safe and sound
We got somethin' to be

So in case you hadn't noticed
I'm alright
Not like it was before
Things used to be so hopeless
But not tonight
Tonight I'm walkin' out that door

I'm not gonna cry
When wavin' goodbye
And I know this time
You got nothin' on me


Well it ain't that tough
To score the usual stuff
One heartache is more than enough
There ain't nothing to see
Nothing

I got friends uptown
And they still come 'round
They've been keepin' me safe and sound
We got somethin' to be

So don't you try to save me
With your advice
Or turn me into something else
'Cuz I'm not crazy
And you're not nice

Baby if you do
Keep it to yourself

I'm not gonna cry
And I'm wavin' goodbye
And I know this time
You got nothin' on me

(No nothin' on me)

I'm not gonna cry
And I'm wavin' goodbye
And I know this time
You got nothin' on me

I'm not gonna cry
And I'm wavin' goodbye
And I know this time
You got nothin' on me




Have a great week ahead! Stay cheery and healthy!
