(Billy Preston). Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'. You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me. Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'. You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me. I'm not tryin' to be your hero. 'Cause that zero is too cold for me Brrr. I'm not tryin' to be your highness. 'Cause that minus is too low to see yeah. Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'. And I'm not stuffin' believe you me. Don't you remember I told ya. I'm a soldier in the war on poverty yeah. Yes I am. Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'. You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me. Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'. You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me. You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me. You gotta bring me somethin' girl if you wanna be with me.
