The Emptyness Songtext
von Daryl Hall & John Oates

I spent last night trying to write to you
But the words wouldn′t come
I just couldn't go on
And the telephone won′t do

I'm sick and tired of hearing "You're never home"
′Cause I′m sick in the head and this hotel beds don't feel right
Though I hope it doesn′t show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say

Then I feel the emptiness inside me
I feel the emptiness inside me
I have this feeling (ah) and I′ve got to get back
This feeling that I've got to get back to you, get back to you


There′s no one else (there's no one else)
There's nothing else (there′s nothing else)
There′s no one else (there's nothing else)
I hear myself saying again and again
Even if it doesn′t show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say

And I feel the emptiness inside me (I feel the emptiness)
The emptiness inside me
I hope it doesn′t show
I've got this feeling and I′ve got to get back this feeling
And I've got to get back to you

Oh, I have got this emptiness inside me
I have this emptiness, I have this emptiness inside me
Oh, I have got this emptiness inside me
I've got nothing, I′ve got nothing
But the emptiness inside of me

Oh, I′m going below, I've got nothing to show
But the emptiness inside of me
That I hollow down below, emptiness inside me
I′ve got nothing, but the emptiness inside of me
And I'm going below, I′ve got the emptiness inside me
Oh, I've got the emptiness inside me
