I Have Nothing
Whitney Houston · I Will Always Love You - The Best Of Whitney Houston [2012]
Share my life
Take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change
All my colors for you
Take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are
And everything that you do
I don't really need to look
Very much further
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Chorus:
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing if I don't have you (you-oo, you-oo, you)
You see through
Right to the heart of me
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love (Mmm...)
I never knew
Love like I've known it with you
Will our memories survive?
One I can hold on to?
I don't really need to look
Very much further
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow
I'm holdin' back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
You're the love I remember forever
Repeat Chorus (2X)
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing
Nothing
Nothing if I don't have you
You, if I don't have you
Take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change
All my colors for you
Take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are
And everything that you do
I don't really need to look
Very much further
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Chorus:
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing if I don't have you (you-oo, you-oo, you)
You see through
Right to the heart of me
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love (Mmm...)
I never knew
Love like I've known it with you
Will our memories survive?
One I can hold on to?
I don't really need to look
Very much further
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow
I'm holdin' back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
You're the love I remember forever
Repeat Chorus (2X)
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing
Nothing
Nothing if I don't have you
You, if I don't have you
