I went around the way for you
Did all those things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day

Till she just opened up to say

It doesn't mean a thing to me

It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be


I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still

She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me


It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see

Things ain't like they used to be

I walked into the battle blind

It happens almost all the time
The yard is kind of overgrown
And all those happy times are gone


It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me

And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be


It doesn't mean a thing to me, oh
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see

Things ain't like they used to be
