I don’t have plans and schemes
And I don’t have hopes and dreams
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you
I don’t have fond desires
And I don’t have happy hours
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you
I don’t have happiness
And I guess I never will have it again
When you walked out on me
In walked all misery
And it’s been here since then
For I don’t have love to share
I don’t have one who cares
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you
Oo…Oo…Oo…
Mmm…
