I left my home
in the sweet sunshine
Arriving in cold rain on a November night
I opened the door
to a run down room
That's when it hit me
I've got nothing to
lose Nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose But everything
to gain
Everything to gain
Without a friend around
I walked these lonely streets
Looking out for a good time
Somewhere to rest my feet I stumbled into a nightclub
Where
this old man played the blues
Punched me right in the face when he sang
Boy you've got nothing to
lose
Nothing to lose
Boy you've got nothing to lose You've got everything
to gain
So
here I am on the bandstand I found my way to the spotlight
A pretty girl on the dance floor She's watching me all night
She spoke to me with them blue
eyes And her message came through
And after the show she grabbed me by
the hand Said we've got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose Oh,
if you start from nowhere
Then you've got every role to choose I went my own way like we all
should do
Nothing to lose Nothing to lose
We've got nothing to lose
We've got everything
to gain
We've got everything
to gain We've got everything
to gain
