Nothing To Lose
Asia Feat. John Payne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing to lose – Now I can really break it
Nothing to lose – Now I don′t have to fake it
If you can't use – Forget it then I don′t need it
Nothing to lose – If it ain't hot I'll leave it

Nothing to show but no-one to stop me I′m going away
I′m kicking my heels, rolling the wheels and I'm leaving today
Nothing to lose – I gotta run for my life
Nothing to lose – Shoot out and shine those search lights
Nothing to lose – I′m ready to cross that border line
Nothing to lose – I'm going to make it stick this time

Nothing to show but no-one to stop me I′m going away
I'm kicking my heels, rolling the wheels and I′m leaving today

Nothing to lose – I gotta run for my life
Nothing to lose – Shoot out and shine those search lights
Nothing to lose – I'm ready to cross that border line
Nothing to lose – I'm going to make it stick this time
Nothing to lose – Now I can really break it
Nothing to lose – Now I don′t have to fake it
Nothing to lose – Forget it then I don′t need it




Nothing to lose – If it ain't hot I will leave it
Nothing to lose – I gotta run for my life
