1st v

I used to live out loud I used to run around wild and free so free
I had nothin to tie me down no no I'd come and go as I pleased
But baby you were somethin’ I thought that I was missin’ so I gave up the life of my own
And now a broken heart later, I'm sittin’ here wishin’
That I left well enough alone

Chorus

‘Cause sometimes somethin’, ain’t always better than nothin’
‘Cause when I had nothin’, I never felt so dog gone blue
Yeah let me tell ya now somethin’ ain’t always better than nothin
You know I'd rather have nothin, than somethin’ like you

Solo

2nd v

Well it's a sad situation when you're losin’ more than you gain
Chalk it up to education boy one more time, and come on in out of the rain
No one really knows the answers and so we take our chances on this crazy thing called love
But thanks to you when I’m facin’ any future romances
I'll know just when to turn and run

Chorus
