Nothing Can Be Done Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Must I forgive you each time
And say you don′t know what your're doing?
Mmm

There are no victimless crimes I know of
Out here in these graffiti ruins, my love

Oh, I am not old, I′m told
But I am not young
Oh, and nothing can be done
Don't start (don't start)
My heart (my heart)
Is a smoking gun (it′s a smoking gun)
Oh, and nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing can be done (nothing can be done)

Nothing can be done

I heard you leaving, oh, late last night
I heard you screaming down the mountain, mmm


Like you were running red lights, red lights
(Nothing can be done)
You had some trash-can rock band pounding
(Can′t be done)

I am not old, I'm told
But I am not young
Oh, and nothing can be done
Don′t start (don't start)
My heart (my heart)
Is a smoking gun (it′s a smoking gun)
Oh, and nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing (nothing, nothing)
Nothing can be done (nothing can be done), nothing can be done

Must I surrender, oh, with grace?
The things I loved when I was younger
Sweet embrace

Must I remember your face so well? (Nothing can be done)
What do I do here with this hunger?
(But nothing can be done)


Oh, I am not old, I'm told
But I am not young
Oh, and nothing can be done
Don′t start (don't start)
My heart (my heart)
Is a smoking gun (it's a smoking gun)
Oh, and nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Oh, and nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
It can be done

Oh, nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing, oh
But nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Ooh-ooh (nothing can be done)
Ooh-ooh (nothing can be done)
Nothing can be done
(Nothing can be done) nothing
