Ain't it funny I can be so difficult sometimes? Don't know how I always manage to cross all your lines But you do the same to me I guess we're two birds in a tree And my song is always louder but you sing more beautifully And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all Ain't it funny I can be so anxious all night long Throwing stones into a river till the coming of the dawn But the morning's not the same 'cause I got no one to blame When all my childish inhibitions leave me a slave to your games And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all 'Cause when the bottom drops out And we are left to doubt Of the others mind we can fly south And when the spring returns I'm sure we will work this out And I guess you oughta know I'm not so useless anymore I spent a lifetime kickin' leaves before I wound up at your door But I'll be damned if all I am is just a fish inside a jar With all my world in a window and my dreams up in the stars And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all 'Cause when the bottom drops out And we are left to doubt Of the others mind we can fly south And when the spring returns I'm sure we will work this out And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all And it don't mean a thing no it don't mean a thing at all 'Cause when the bottom drops out And we are left to doubt Of the others mind we can fly south And when the spring returns I'm sure we will work this out
