Nothing On Me

Shawn Colvin


Well I don't tell jokes 
And I don't take notes 
You been sayin there ain't much hope 
You got nothin on me 
I got friends uptown 
And they don't talk down 
They been keepin me safe and sound 
We got somethin to be 

So in case you hadn't noticed 
I'm alright 
Not like I was before 
Things used to be so hopeless 
But not tonight 
Tonight I'm walkin out that door 

I'm not gonna cry 
I'm wavin goodbye 
And I know this time 
You got nothin on me 

Well it ain't that tough 
Just more of the usual stuff 
One heartache is more than enough 
There ain't nothin to see 

I got friends uptown 
And they still come 'round 
They been keepin me safe and sound 
We got somethin to be 

So don't you try to save me 
With your advice 
Or turn me into somebody else 
Cuz I'm not crazy and you're not nice 
Baby keep it to yourself 

I'm not gonna cry 
And I'm wavin goodbye 
And I know this time 
You got nothin on me
