Doesn't Mean Anything - Alicia Keys

It's hard to be a nice guy all the time Everybody knows that guilty feeling When you hurt the one you love Yes I'm guilty of that crime It's a strain to maintain that loving feeling Even when you say don't be cruel People being what they are there's danger There's gun battles in the suburbs I didn't mean to be mean oh no I didn't mean to be mean oh no It's hard to be a nice guy all the time Everybody knows that guilty feeling When you hurt the one you love Yes I'm guilty of that crime Now I wouldn't say I was no saint But there are worse things that I ain't My old mum will stand by me And she's as true as she can be I didn't mean to be mean oh no I didn't mean to be mean oh no I didn't mean to be mean oh no no no no I didn't mean to be mean oh no I didn't mean to be mean oh no

Act like it doesn't mean a thing Act like it doesn't mean a thing Question you at my place Please lie don't hesitate These meetings are the ones that you call your friends for Its just a little taste of our affair But it doesn't mean a thing Anymore to me. And we dress it up Act like it doesn't mean a thing I still see you everywhere Act like it doesn't a mean thing But it doesn't a meant thing to me, anymore Pressed on through the other day, After a small blow Rewind just for a moment please Hold your breathe and Lay next to me Searching for some comfort, Makes it unfair And we dress it up Act like it doesn't mean a thing I still feel you everywhere But it doesn't a meant thing to me anymore Dress it up in every colour and it's shade (Every night in one place) I still feel you everywhere Shouldn't need something more from me And I dress it like I care But you don't even think of me Ohh I can't speak for two I can't speak for you Act like it doesn't mean a thing But I see you everywhere Act like it doesn't mean a thing But it doesn't mean a thing to me, anymore

The devil on your shoulder is your only friend There he sits just to remind you all good things come to an end And you can fight it with the thoughts you think and the words you say It doesn't change anything You been left to your own devices And oh yes they're all vices And there's no one comin' to overturn the tables Lord knows you'd leave it all behind if you were able I've walked the path you wander now and I know it well Each step a reminder, each day a hazy hell God is dead and heaven's silent, death has lost its sting It doesn't change anything The bottle and the needle reign Where memories are deafening And there's no one comin' to overturn the tables Lord knows you'd leave it all behind if you were able
