Lyrics

You, can I make it known  
I'd like to take you home  
You been away so long  
I'd like to see you  
  
But when I saw you at the local hop  
I tried to take you but you made me stop  
Then I saw that you were dancing with a rent-a-cop  
Whoa, whoa!  
  
The minute you pulled me through  
You thought that then you knew  
If not today, I'd find a way  
To get to you  
  
Just a little of nothin'  
That's all you had the time to give  
Just a little of nothin'  
Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me  
  
If you'd only have listened  
You'd have heard every word I said  
Just a little of nothin'  
Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me  
  
Just a little of nothin' (just a little of nothin') [Repeat: x4]  
  
Newton-under-roseberry topping  
And it's cold and it's wet  
And you feel like you're part of all time  
  
Living in the gap between the echoes  
Feeling it hot  
And feeling it cold  
  
As long as there are fish in the sea  
Have a cup of tea  
Oh, as long as there are fish in the sea  
Have a cup of tea  
  
'cause you are running from the ring of the golden bell  
Like a bat out of hell  
You are running from the ring of the golden bell  
Like a bat out of hell  
You are running from the ring of the golden bell  
Like a bat out of hell  
You are running from the ring of the golden bell  
Like a bat out of hell  
  
There's a lady across the hall  
She's telling me it's all right (all right)  
I'm tryin' to give her my all  
She's sayin' I'm uptight  
Hell of a way to spend an afternoon  
  
Saw a movie tonight  
Got frightened and broke down (broke down)  
Got a call in the night  
My old lady just hit town  
Take her away, she's tryin' to turn me round  
I'm nowhere to be found  
  
I can't unread the pages I've already read  
And I can't feed these ages left in my head  
They're already dead, yeah
