Nothin' Doin'

It was a joke, he really wasn’t broke
The man at the store, he kept asking for more
He tried his best, but he just wasn’t blessed
He didn’t know he kept taking the blows
That love affair, it was off and on
That stone on the lawn, was paid from a pawn
In the end it was too much to bear
The room was empty, ‘cause nobody cared
Chorus
Standin’ in the doorway watchin’ the world go by
Not a worry, not even a sigh
A wink and a nudge you really prejudged
Sitting on stoop you got nothing to lose
A smidgen of hope you just lay there and mope
You close your eyes I say my goodbyes
It was a mess I really must confess
I took a look there was nothing in the books
Inhaled my smokes, when I lost all hope
Who cares, I don’t, why should I atone
Chorus
A little push will do you some good
But it’s your choice you got nothing but a voice
Life is easier if you make it dreamier
There’s nothin’ doin’ when you’re headed on your own
