THE WAIFS - NOTHING NEW lyrics

rate me

I'm going to dress up tonight

And I'll look real pretty for I don't know who

I'll find my own way around this great big city

And I'm gonna sit at a bar and I'll have a drink

I'll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings

I know you like to visit them from time to time

And like a thief I steal the words you write to her

I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine

But this is nothing new

But it ain't nothing

Well this is nothing new

But it ain't nothing

You long for sweetness

Does mine make you sickly

Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require

There's nothing sweet about a heart so embittered

It's ugly and it's cold and tonight it's out for hire

But it ain't nothing new

But this ain't nothing

Well this is nothing new

But it ain't nothing

We live through this day after day

And complacency's a curse

But you just can't escape it

And I've arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way

And I struggle to hold my head up high

But it ain't nothing new

Well this is nothing new

But it ain't nothing
