Iâm going to dress up tonight
And Iâll look real pretty for I donât know who
Iâll find my own way around this great big city
And Iâm gonna sit at a bar and Iâll have a drink
Iâll 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 ainât nothing
Well this is nothing new
But it ainât nothing
You long for sweetness
Does mine make you sickly
Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require
Thereâs nothing sweet about a heart so embittered
Itâs ugly and itâs cold and tonight itâs out for hire
But it ainât nothing new
But this ainât nothing
Well this is nothing new
But it ainât nothing
We live through this day after day
And complacencyâs a curse
But you just canât escape it
And Iâve arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way
And I struggle to hold my head up high
But it ainât nothing new
Well this is nothing new
But it ainât nothing
