Well I used to be a rambler,
running around wildly free,
And I had nothin' to tie me down, no, no
I'd come and go as I pleased
But baby, you were somethin'
I thought that I was missin'
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
Yeah let me tell you now,
Oh no, you know I'd rather have nothing
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
I'm facing any future romances
I'll know just when to turn and run
Cause sometimes something
Ain't always better than nothing
I never felt so doggone blue
Yeah, let me tell you now
Oh no, you know I'd rather have nothing
Than something like you, yeah
Yes, I would rather have nothing
