Put your life on the table

Stick your money on the line

Create the situation there, one more time

Your name it means nothing

And the dreams that we live

And now you don't care if she is, the girl from next door

She's never been known for nothing, but a motor street whore

You don't believe nothin' that you can't see

And you see me as nothing, to me, yeah-ah yeah

You can take what you want

Take what you want

Take what you want

But just don't take it away

You can stay if you want

Stay if you want

Stay if you want

But just don't stay all day

'Cause you know it means nothing, to me

Don't see much sense in lying here with you

The sex is over now, what is there left to do

Conversation, conversation baby, I don't talk that much

And now I don't know when I'm gonna see you again

I'm leaving tomorrow and this will all start again

I hope you don't believe that you was a failure

And you see it means nothin' to be a man

But you know it means nothing

Yeah you know it means nothing

Yeah you know it means nothing, to me
