Nothing of My Own Songtext
von Kongos

You look to me for an answer
But I′ve never given, and I've never given it much thought
Staring at the center of the room, I start to build one
But it never feels like my own

Ahhh

And I, oh I′ve built nothing of my own
All I knew, I've never really known
I, oh I, need something of my own
Before it's too late, before my time′s come and gone


Have you ever had that feeling when you′re talking to yourself
That you're speaking out of turn
Kind or cruel or cold or vain
I start to feel like, like all these people need a name

Curse the sky and praise the rain
I thought I knew them, I used to call them all the same

Ahhhh, Ahhhh

I, oh I′ve got nothing of my own
All I have, it just tends to come and go
I, oh I've built nothing of my own
All I knew, I′ve never really known
All I knew, I've never really known

I, oh I, need something of my own
Before it′s too late, before my time's come and gone
