lyrics

I know this guy
With a hunger inside
It consumes every cell
And it blinds him and dumps him in hell
Which doesn’t end up so well

He says…
Don’t take me for a punch-bag
Don’t take me for a ride ‘cos
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side

I know this girl
And she says FML
And she grinds down her teeth
In the place she tries so hard to sleep
She’s just trying to get some peace

She says…
You’ve got me on your chain gang
You’ve got me Southern Fried ‘cos
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side

Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side

Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side
I know this guy
And he thinks he is dry
And he thinks he done
And he does not consider this as fun
There’s no race for him to run

He says…
You took me for a monkey
You cheated and you lied but
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side

I know this girl
And she’s tired of the world
And she’s tired all the time
And she’s tired of you making her cry
But she just cannot say goodbye

She says…
I ain’t got no choice babe
And I ain’t got no pride ‘cos
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side

Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side

Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
Everything means nothing babe,
If you ain’t by my side
