I Can't Get Nowhere With You
Hollies · Clarke Hicks & Nash Years [2011]
I can't get nowhere with
Talk to me
Say things to me
Make me understand you love me
I can't get nowhere with you
I'm saying
You're playing with my feelings
I'm just praying
I can't get nowhere with you
I put my trust in you
But how you let me down
I tried to treat you right
But you made me look like a clown
I'm showing that you're going
Tears me up
My tears are flowing
I can't get nowhere with you
I'm showing that you're going
Tears me up
My tears are flowing
I can't get nowhere with
I can't get nowhere with
I can't get nowhere with you
I Can't Get Nowhere With You
