Hey mama, when you leave, don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothing, I can't use nothing Take care into the hall and if you see my friends Tell 'em I'm fine, not using nothing Almost burned out my eyes and threw my ears down to the floor I couldn't see nothing, I didn't hear nothing I stood there like a block of stone, knowing all I had to know And nothing more, man, that's nothing ♪ Hey mama, when you leave, don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothing, I can't use nothing Take care into the hall and if you see my friends Tell 'em I'm fine, I'm not using nothing Hey mama, when you leave, don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothing, I can't use nothing Sorrow and solitude, these are the precious things And the only words that are worth remembering
