Lyrics
Nothing to Lose
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Neville c2017
Knock on the door/ of a madam who’s expecting more
Don’t call her cute / or she’ll have you crawling on the floor
Tears you apart / she makes the sale she’s really smart
It seems you failed / to see through her black heart
Now we have a clue / it seems the rumor is true
‘Cause the flower for her / was really meant for you
Now state your name / we want to hear what you have to say
So the record’s clear / don’t you don’t shy away
We want the truth / the Lord knows a thing or two
Time to testify / But there’s a witness you can’t produce
There on the stand / you better raise your right hand
Is that your guarantee / you’re going to the promised land?
CHORUS:
With the hangman singing the blues
And the lawman tying the noose
We’ll go for it! We’ll go for it!
‘Cause we ain’t got nothing to lose
The prince stakes his claim / on the new girl he can’t contain
In his Rolls Royce / where the ladies entertain
Lives in defeat / and another steps up to compete
He’s made for her / and she leads him to her street
CHORUS
Can she convince / herself, him and the prince
That he’s a fraud to the world / laughing at the consequences
That he’s a fraud to the world / laughing at the consequences
That he’s a fraud to the world / laughing at the consequences
That he’s a fraud to the world / laughing at the consequences
That he’s a fraud to the world / laughing at the consequences
That he’s a fraud to the world / laughing at the consequences
