What's It Worth Songtext
von Joe Louis Walker

What′s it worth
To gain the world
To have it all
Right in my hand

What's it worth
To be a king
And loose his queen
To another man

It ain′t worth nothing
Nothing to me
I feel like a prisoner
And you hold the key

It ain't worth a nickel, baby
It ain't worth a dime
You′re sealin′ my coffin
One nail at a time


Oh, lord
Oh, lord
Oh, lord
Oh, lord

What's it worth
Nobody knows
What I′m goin' through
Down on my knees for you

Well, what′s it worth?
The fortune and fame
All around the world
People are shoutin' my name

They say ′hey, joe'
Sing your song
If the only knew
How I've been done wrong

What′s it worth?
To see my name in lights
Well, I′m down here sufferin', do you know?
I′m too weak to fight

Oh, lord
Oh, lord, oh
Oh, lord


Well, what's it worth?
To gain the world
To have it all
Right in my hand

What′s it worth?
To be a king
And loose his queen
To another man

It ain't worth nothing
Nothing to me
I feel like a prisoner, baby
And you hold the key

Ain′t worth a nickel
It ain't worth a dime
You're sealin′ my coffin, you know that
One nail at a time

Oh, lord
Oh, lord
Oh, oh, oh, lord
Oh, lord

It ain′t worth a nickel, baby
Not worth one dime
You're sealin′ my coffin, baby
One nail at a time
