Intro: (2x) Verse I'm going to dress up tonight And I'll look real pretty for I don't know who I'll find my own way around this great big city And I'm gonna sit at a bar and I'll have a drink I'll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings I know you like to visit them from time to time And like a thief I steal the words you write to her I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine But this is nothing new But it ain't nothing Well this is nothing new But it ain't nothing Instrumental Verse You long for sweetness does mine make you sickly Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require There's nothing sweet about a heart so embittered It's ugly and it's cold and tonight it's out for hire But this is nothing new But it ain't nothing Well this is nothing new But it ain't nothing Instrumental Bridge We live through this day after day And complacency's a curse but you just can't escape it And I've arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way And I struggle to hold my head up high Outro But it ain't nothing new This is nothing new Ohhhhh yeahhh
