Anything's Better Than Nothing

Mel Tillis · Living and Learning/Take My Hand [1971]

(Marie Wilson)



Friends ask how I'll get along without you

They say it's so sad we're apart

And I have to agree that I don't seem like me

I'm having a ball with my heart.



Anything's better than nothing

Nothing's not too much to lose

Anything's better than nothing

Nothing's what I've had with you.



I've got to admit that it hurt me

I don't like to fight or to fuss

But now you and me are happy we're free

Everyone's crying but us.



Anything's better than nothing

Nothing's not too much to lose

Anything's better than nothing

Nothing's what I've had with you.

It really must be disappointing

To see love and dreams turn to smoke

I can't blame my friends when their teardrops begin

I once thought that love made a home.



Anything's better than nothing

Nothing's not too much to lose

Anything's better than nothing

Nothing's what I've had with you.



Nothing's what I've had with you...
