Nothing In Return (Album Version)

Nothing in Return (Album) - T Bone Burnett

I call your name in the midnight

But you

Don't hear me at all

I love you so dearly and nearly

But you

Don't love me at all

There's nothing in this big round world that worse

Hurts

Than paying out and receiving nothing in return

Every day and night I dial your number

But you never answer the phone

Are you really not there when I call you

Where could you so much chance to roam

There's nothing in this big round world that worse

Hurts

Than paying out and receiving nothing in return

If I only knew

How to get you

But I've tried all I know

And failed except for loving you so

I searched you out found out your name fast

But my name you never seemed to have caught

How in this world can I date you

When you won't give me a thought

There's nothing in this big round world that worse

Hurts

Than paying out and receiving nothing in return

If I only knew

How to get you

But I've tried all I know

And failed except for loving you so

I call your name in the midnight

But you

Don't hear me at all

I love you so dearly and nearly

But you

Don't love me at all

There's nothing in this big round world that worse

Hurts

Than paying out and receiving nothing in return

Oh no

Than paying out and receiving nothing in return

Oh no

Than paying out and receiving nothing in return
