Didn't Mean a Thing Songtext
von Eric Heatherly

Hey mister, why′d you play that song?
Until I heard it, I was getting along
Why'd you have to take me to that place?
Make me think about her smiling face
How she used to make me laugh out loud
Kiss me in the middle of a downtown crowd
Talk dirty to me on the phone
And then I woke up alone

And it′s like water to a drowning man
An I.O.U. written in sand
Trying to beat three aces with a couple of kings
Yeah, a round trip on a runaway train
A handshake from Saddam Hussein
Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring
Didn't mean a thing
It didn't mean a thing, no


Said she was the answer to my prayers
As she ran her fingers through my hair
She told me that I was second to none
She promised me the stars, one by one
She had me going from the day we met
Plans were made, the date was set
Now it was picture perfect like Barbie and Ken
But this is now, that was then

And it′s like water to a drowning man
An I.O.U. written in sand
Trying to beat three aces with a couple of kings
Yeah, a round trip on a runaway train
A handshake from Saddam Hussein
Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring
Didn′t mean a thing
It didn't mean a thing, no

And it′s like water to a drowning man
An I.O.U. written in sand
Trying to beat three aces with a couple of kings
Yeah, a round trip on a runaway train
A handshake from Saddam Hussein
Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring
Didn't mean a thing
It didn′t mean a thing, no


Your check's in the mail
That didn′t mean a thing
Mr. Clinton said he did not inhale
That didn't mean a thing
Didn't mean a thing
