Nothing To Gain |
LyricsNOTHING TO GAINMark Patterson © 2025 Getting her to say yes was my greatest success The Good Lord was showing off when he designed her We're going dancing tonight if she can find the right dress Before I nod off in the recliner If you looked in the mirror and saw what I see You couldn't help but ask your reflection What in God's name is she doing with me? And I swear I can't answer that question I hit the jackpot lottery the whole shebang Made out like a bandit she's the yin to my yang She'll bless your heart or she can break it in two Loves a good fight and all that hullabaloo But she's quick to make up and man is she good at that too She's high maintenance but I don't mind 'Cause she's high performance when it's gettin' lucky time She's got her faults but you won't hear me complain To stray with someone new I'd have to be insane I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain I hit the jackpot lottery the whole shebang Made out like a bandit she's the yin to my yang She'll bless your heart or she can break it in two Loves a good fight and all that hullabaloo But she's quick to make up and man is she good at that too She's high maintenance but I don't mind 'Cause she's high performance when it's gettin' lucky time She's got her faults but you won't hear me complain To stray with someone new I'd have to be insane I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain It was fifteen minutes an hour ago And I liked all the outfits the same I know we're way past time to go But I also know the rules of the game I want to tell her darlin' you look wonderful tonight But she can make a compliment a crime She'd just say so have I got this right I look like Hell the rest of the time I hit the jackpot lottery the whole shebang Made out like a bandit she's the yin to my yang She'll bless your heart or she can break it in two Loves a good fight and all that hullabaloo But she's quick to make up and man is she good at that too She's high maintenance but I don't mind 'Cause she's high performance when it's gettin' lucky time She's got her faults but you won't hear me complain To stray with someone new I'd have to be insane I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain Yeah I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain |
