I've been doing the math Ever since you left Pondering the properties of lonelyness Stacking your efforts Right up against mine You know I get the same answer everytime Chorus: You take four-hundrend seventeen nights and days A million and one promises made Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away You get zero Nothing but zero Oh now zero Ummm,ummm Now I remember learning all of this Back in school Guess I never did apply it to me and you So I guess I'll be the one That'll carry the blame Cause sometimes nothing Always ends the same Chorus: You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days A million and one promises made You put 'em all together And you throw 'em away You get zero Nothing but zero Oh nothing but zero Ummm,ummm Now everytime I think of how hard you cried Baby by blues just multiply Chorus: You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days A million and one promises made Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away You get zero Oh you get zero Oh nothing but zero Oh yeah zero
