I went around the way for you Did all those things you asked me to I thought it was the perfect day Till she just opened up to say It doesn't mean a thing to me It doesn't mean a thing to me And it's about time you see Things ain't like they used to be I headed out to Lester Hill But that just made me weaker still She's got the kind of love I need The kind that's never good on me It doesn't mean a thing to me It doesn't mean a thing to me And it's about time you see Things ain't like they used to be I walked into the battle blind It happens almost all the time The yard is kind of overgrown And all those happy times are gone It doesn't mean a thing to me It doesn't mean a thing to me And it's about time you see That things ain't like they used to be It doesn't mean a thing to me, oh It doesn't mean a thing to me And it's about time you see Things ain't like they used to be
