I Ain't Nothing

I ain't no sinner
I ain't no saint
I ain't no winner
There's lots of things I ain't

But what I am's in love with you
There's nothing more that I can do
Every time I think it through
I always knew the truth
I ain't nothin' without you

Like the river needs the rain
The doctor needs the pain
A song needs a refrain
Although sometimes I'm a ghost
You're the one I need the most
I ain't nothin' without you

I ain't immortal
But I live that way
And I would love to tell you how I feel
If I knew just what to say

But my heart ain't feelin' nothin' new
I try to stick to what I know is true
Every time I fly away
I count the minutes and the days
I ain't nothin' without you

Like the poet needs the page
The actor needs the stage
Anger needs rage
To blow off a little steam
Can I be on your team
I ain't nothing without you

You're what I have up my sleeve
Like the air that I breathe

I ain't nothin' without you
I ain't nothin' without you
I ain't nothin' without you
