Lyrics

I don’t have plans and schemes,
And I don’t have hopes and dreams,
I-I-I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you.

I don’t have fond desires,
And I don’t have happy hours,
I-I-I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you.

I don’t have happiness, and I guess
I never will again.
When you walked out on me,
In walked old misery,
And he’s been here since then.

I don’t have love to share,
And I don’t have one who cares.
I-I-I don’t have anything
Since–I don’t–have–
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
(Yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ou)
