Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine Not using nothin' ♪ Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more Man, that's nothin' ♪ Being born is goin' blind And bowin' down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin' ♪ Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't, I can't use nothin' ♪ Oh ♪ I can't use nothin'
