This big ole world can rob you
bleed you till you're high and dry
No kindly soul will console you
They'll hurt you, and leave you to die
When the chips are down and you're losin'
Beaten at life's every game
It'll cost you next to nothin'
to cry out and call on my name
There's sadness and there's badness
Like our mommas they used to say
There may be no happy endings
No matter how hard you pray
You could give more than you bargained
Counting losses more than your gains
But it'll cost you next to nothin'
to be smilin' even when it rains
****
(Chorus)
Just take me as you find me
Take all I have to give
I give you all the love my heart can hold
If you need a shoulder to your shoulder
If as far as your eyes can see
You are standing next to nothin',
You'll be standing right next to me...
****
So slip your hand in my hand
When you are losing your grip
You can lean your back 'gainst my back
When your whole world's a sinking ship
Should they treat you like a no one
Make you pay for every blame
It'll cost you next to nothin'
to remember I've known that shame.
I'm there when you're feeling lonely
My arms are here to hold
a broken heart that's weary
when the world seems cruel and cold
Promise I won't be a bother
You probably wouldn't even see
When you think you've got next to nothin'
You've got me.
****
(Chorus)
Just take me as you find me
Take all I have to give
I give you all the love my heart can hold
If you need a shoulder to your shoulder
If as far as your eyes can see
You are standing next to nothing,
You'll be standing right next to me..
****
I've loved you since forever
Can hardly tell when it all began
You had barely next to nothin'
Not even yet become your own man
Give you gladly all my somethin's
I wanna see you truly set free
C'mon home with next to nothin'
All I want is you right next to me.
(Coda)
When you're standing on next to nothin'
You'll be standing right next to me.
