Nothing To Do

Sparks · Big Beat (2006 Reissue) [2006]

I want you

I want you bad

I need you

I need you

I do, I really do



Better drop the requirement that everything be great

Nothing to do, nothing to do

Nothing to do, nothing to do



I come home

I throw my coat down

I spin round

I plop down

Gimme a break, a break



Better drop the requirement that everything be great

Nothing to do, nothing to do

Nothing to do, nothing to do



If I had a million thumbs

I'd twiddle, twiddle

But I just have two

Nothing to do, nothing to do

Nothing to do, nothing to do



I see you

I don't want much

Just something

A little something

To do, to do



Better drop the requirement that

Everything be great

Nothing to do, nothing to do

Nothing to do, nothing to do
