Something Is Better Than Nothing Lyrics

She was always experimenting with words

Like a lexical Rorschach test

Rolling them to round to see which one would

Leap from her lips the best

But when she had something to say

She'd put fancy notions away

My mother would say

My mother would say

Something is better than nothing

Something gets something done

Something is better than nothing

So get up do something son

You don't want no nothing

You don't want to want at all

There was a girl that didn't want all of my love

I took what she gave it wasn't nearly enough

Something is better than nothing

Something still gets you some

Something is better than nothing

So go get it on now my son

You don't want no nothing

You don't want to want at all

There's work to be done, it's a mountain

It looks pretty steep from the base

I could put off what I've been putting off

'Cause tomorrow's a scaleable day

Toil gets adjourned more to come

And I don't get anything done

My mother would say

My mother would say

Something is better than nothing

Something gets something done

Something is better than nothing

So get up and do something son

You don't want no nothing

You don't want to want at all

At all, at all, at all
