running around wildly free, so free
And I had nothing to tie me down, no, no
I'd come and go as I pleased
But baby, you were something
I thought that I was missing
So I gave up the life of my own
And now a broken heart later
That I'd left well enough alone
Cause sometimes something ain't
always better than nothing
Cause when I had nothing I
never felt so doggone blue
Oh no, you know I'd rather
There's something like you,
Alright, it's a sad situation
When you're losing more than
Chalk it up to education,
And come on in, out of the rain
No one really knows the answers and so
We take our chances on this
But thanks to you and I I'm facing
I'll know just when to turn and run
Cause sometimes something
Ain't always better than nothing
I never felt so dark or blue
Yeah, let me tell you now something
Ain't always better than nothing
Than see something like you, yeah
Yes, I would rather have nothing
