[Verse 1: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
Ya gotta have something
If ya wanna be with me

[Refrain: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
And ya gotta have something
If ya wanna be with me
Yeah

[Verse 2: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
I'm not trying to be your hero
'Cause that's ego
It's too cold for me (Ooo-oo)
I'm not trying to be your highness
'Cause that's a minus
And it's too low to see
Woah

[Verse 3: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
And I ain't stuffing believe you me (Ooh)
Don't you remember I told you?
That I'm a soldier in the war on poverty
Yeah
[Instrumental: Brenda Lee]
(Doo, doo, doo)

[Refrain: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
I said nothing from nothing leaves nothing
And I want something
If ya wanna be with me
Let me tell ya that

[Verse 4: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
Nothing from nothing lеaves nothing (Nothing)
And this girls gotta have something
If ya wanna bе with me

[Verse 5: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing (Nothing)
And honey I ain't stuffing believe you me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro: Brenda Lee & Brenda Lee & The Holiday Sisters]
Nothing from nothing leaves ya nothing
And ya gotta have something
If ya wanna be with me
