Lyrics

World Full Of Nothing

Close

Naked

Skin on skin

Tears are falling

Tears of joy

Her first boy

His first girl

Makes a change

In a world full of nothing

Though it's not love

It means something

She's lonely

And he says

It's for her only

That he lusts

She doesn't trust him

Nothing is true

But he will do

In a world full of nothing

Though it's not love

It means something

It's easy to slip away

And believe it all

Though it's not love

It means something
