Been doin' the math ever since you left
|
Pondering the properties of loneliness
|
Stacking your efforts right up against mine
|
You know I get the same answer every time
|
|
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
|
A million and one promises made
|
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
|
You get zero
|
Nothing but zero
|
Oh, zero
|
Mmmmmmm...
|
|
I remember learning all of this back in school
|
I guess I never did apply it to me and you
|
So, I guess I'll be the one to carry the blame
|
Something times nothing always ends the same
|
|
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
|
A million and one promises made
|
|
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
|
You get zero
|
Nothing but zero
|
Oh, zero
|
Mmmmmmm...
|
|
Every time I think of how hard you try
|
Baby, my blues just multiply...
|
|
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
|
A million and one promises made
|
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
|
You get zero
|
Nothing but zero
|
A great big zero
|
Whoa, zero
|
|
