Doesn't mean anything - Alicia Keys

07 januari 2015

De belangrijkste reden van speciale aandacht was natuurlijk dat aparte ritme, gecombineerd met bijzondere intonatie van de zang. Verwarrend, maar daardoor juist heel boeiend. Iets nader bekeken is het gewoon een redelijk zoet liefdesdeuntje over een geliefde die de hort op gaat. Da's minder spannend en vooral veel minder origineel, maar dat ritme hè, heerlijk.

But it doesn't mean anything

now that you're gone

Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
but if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there
'cause it's over, that just won't be fair
darling, rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat
'cause I don't want no pie if I have to cry
'cause it's over when you said goodbye

All at once I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
from above seems I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surprise
being alone will make you realize
when it's over, all in love is fair
I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there
I shoulda, shoulda

All at once I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
from above seems I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

I know I pushed you away
what can I do that would save our love
take these material things, they don't mean nothing
it's you that I want

All at once I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
from above seems I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there
I shoulda, shoulda

All at once I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone
from above seems I had it all
but it doesn't mean anything since you're gone
