Been doin' the math ever since you left Pondering the properties of loneliness Stacking your efforts right up against mine You know I get the same answer every time You take four hundred seventeen nights and days A million and one promises made Put them all together and you throw 'em away You get zero Nothing but zero Oh, zero Mmmmmmm... I remember learning all of this back in school I guess I never did apply it to me and you So, I guess I'll be the one to carry the blame Something times nothing always ends the same You take four hundred seventeen nights and days A million and one promises made Put them all together and you throw 'em away You get zero Nothing but zero Oh, zero Mmmmmmm... Every time I think of how hard you try Baby, my blues just multiply... You take four hundred seventeen nights and days A million and one promises made Put them all together and you throw 'em away You get zero Nothing but zero A great big zero Whoa, zero
