Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've had days that felt like a thousand years
And years that just fly by
I've had times I've been so sure in life
Then nothing worked out right
I've put my hope in so many things
I thought that I would need
But it doesn't mean anything, anything
Anything to me
I've been around a crowd of people
And felt so all alone
Tried to give up being different
So that I could just belong
Someone tried to tell me
Who I'm supposed to be
But it doesn't mean anything, anything to me
Only you, you satisfy
Only you are the love of my life
If I got everything I want, no, it still wouldn't do
I gotta whole lotta nothing if I don't got you
When the mirror doesn't match
The cover of a magazine
And I'm consumed with all my fears
And insecurities
'Cause I had my idol for a while
But now I finally see
That it didn't mean anything, anything, no
Only you, you satisfy
Only you are the love of my life
If I got everything I want, no, it still wouldn't do
I gotta whole lot of nothing if I don't got you
A whole lot of nothing
Oh, Lord, I believe
It's a whole lot of nothing
If you aren't close to me
Only you, you satisfy
Only you are the love of my life
If I got everything I want, no, it still wouldn't do
I gotta whole lot of nothing if I don't got you
Only you, you satisfy
Only you are the love of my life
If I got everything I want, no, it still wouldn't do
I gotta whole lot of nothing if I don't got you
Only you, you satisfy
Only you are the love of my life
If I got everything I want, no, it still wouldn't do
I gotta whole lotta nothing if I don't got you
I gotta whole lotta nothing if I don't have you
I gotta whole lotta nothing if I don't got you
Only you, only you, only you, only you
I got nothing if I don't got you
