Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me, oh love
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me
Not tryna to be your hero
'Cause that zero is too cold for me, oh love
I'm not tryin' to be your highness
'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
And I'm not stuffin', believe you me
Don't you remember I told ya

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me, oh love

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of
Games that I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Well yes, only love can break your heart
But if your world should fall apart
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out
Try to lose the doll that he's found
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
But if your world should fall apart
I was always thinking of
Games that I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
But if your world should fall apart

Have You Seen My Baby
02:30

Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know she's driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Ridin' down the street
When you're through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Seen her with the gipsies
Dancin' in the wood
She's always been unfaithful to me
She ain't never been no good
I say, “Don't talk to strangers, baby"
But she always do
She say, "I'll talk to strangers if I want to
I'm a stranger, too"
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, whoo

If I go a million miles away
I'd write a letter each and every day
Baby, nothin',
Nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you
Ooh, make me weep
Well, you can make me cry
See me comin'
Well, you can pass me by
But baby, nothin',
Nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you
You're the apple of my eye
You're cherrie pie
You're cake and ice cream
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
Girl of my dreams
So, if you wanted to leave me
And roam
You come back
I'd just say
Welcome home,
Baby, nothin'
Nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you
You're the apple of my eye
You're cherrie pie
You're cake and ice cream
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
Girl of my dreams
So, if you wanted to leave me
And roam
When you come back
I'd just say
Welcome home,
Baby, nothin'
Nothin' can change this love
I have
Well, nothin’ can change this love
I have
Well, nothin’ can change this love
I have for you

Better Day

Up on the mountain
Look down in the sea
Thinkin' about the woman
Who couldn't agree
But that's alright
I don’t worry no child
‘Cause there will be a better day
When I had money, whoa money
I had friends
Ain’t got a dime
Like a road without an end
But that's alright
I don’t worry no child
‘Cause there will be a better day
Oh listen here people
People, I need a break
Good things will come
To those who wait
But that's alright
I don’t worry no child
‘Cause there will be a better day
When I had money, whoa money
I had friends
I ain’t got a dime
Like a road without an end
But that's alright
I don’t worry no child
‘Cause there will be a better day
Oh it will
There will be a better day
There will be a better day

Stay With Me
03:02
|
|||
In the morning don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
I know your name is Rita
Your perfume smells sweeter
When I saw you down there on the floor, ah yeah
Won't need too much persuading
Don't mean to sound degrading
With a face like that you got nothing to laugh about
Red lips, hair and fingernails, hear you'll be no Jezebel
Let's get upstairs and read my tarot cards, come on
Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me, ah yeah
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me

Brickyard Blues
04:14
|
|||
Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go to your show, again and again
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't saying what you're playing just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play something sweet, now make it mellow
Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand, yeah
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand, yeah
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show”
Well so, I said to myself
I said "Self, do you see what is sailing through my soul?"
Gotta have some more, don't ya know
Play something sweet, now make it mellow
Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand, yeah
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Well, let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand, yeah
Play me some Brickyard Blues
It's enough to make a light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a hound
Play something sweet, now make it mellow
Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Well, let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand, yeah
Play me some Brickyard Blues

San Diego Serenade
03:00

I never saw the mornin' 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
Never saw my hometown ’til I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song
I never saw the white line 'til I was leavin' you behind
Never knew I needed you until I was caught up in a bind
Never spoke "I love you" 'til I cursed you in vain
Never felt my heart strings ’til I nearly went insane
I never saw the east coast until I moved to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off of your breast
Never saw your heart until someone someone tried to steal it
Never saw your tears until they rolled down your face
Never saw the mornin' 'til I stayed up all night
Never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your love light babe
I never saw my hometown ’til I stayed away too long
Never heard the melody until I needed the song

Sail On Sailor
03:52
|
|||
I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on sailor
Wail on, wail on sailor
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor

Can't Nobody Love You
02:55
|

Can't nobody love you
'Cause they don't know how to love you like I do
Can't nobody love you
They don't know how to love you like I do
I love you in the morning,
Love you late at night
Ain’t gonna stop loving you
’Til you tell me everything's alright
Can't nobody love you
'Cause they don't know how to love you like I do
Can't nobody talk to you
Don't know how to talk the way I do
Can't nobody kiss you
They don't know how to kiss you like I do
Sam Cooke bought you cake and ice cream
Called you cherry pie
Ray Charles called you his sunshine
You're the apple, apple of my eye, oh
Can't nobody love you
'Cause they don't know how to love you like I do
No, they don't know how to love you like I do

A.J. Croce Nashville, Tennessee
A.J. Croce has established his reputation as a piano player and serious vocal stylist who pulls from a host of musical traditions and anti-heroes — part New Orleans, part juke joint, part soul. His new album was born of memories of favorite artists and shows, but mostly, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends, many of them fellow musicians, with Croce at the piano taking requests. ... more
