I Who Have Nothing
Sanchez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
(Your love I'll remember forever)

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you.

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
(Your love I'll remember forever)

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you.

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me




I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you.

Overall Meaning

The song "I Who Have Nothing" by Sanchez is a passionate ballad about the power and intensity of love. The lyrics describe a person who is willing to share their life with someone else, but only on their own terms. The singer declares that they will never change who they are or compromise their values, but they will give all of their love to the other person. The singer admits that they don't need to look for love anywhere else because they have found everything they need in the person they are addressing in the song.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer pleading with the other person not to leave them. They say they have nothing if they don't have the other person and they are willing to do anything to make sure they stay together. The line "Don't make me close one more door/I don't wanna hurt anymore" is particularly emotional, as it suggests that the singer has been hurt before and is afraid of being hurt again. They don't want to lose this person, and they are willing to fight for them with everything they have.


Overall, "I Who Have Nothing" is a powerful and emotional song about love, loss, and the lengths some people will go to hold onto the ones they love. The lyrics are raw and heartfelt, and the melody of the song only adds to its emotional impact. It's a song that anyone who has ever loved and lost can relate to, and it's no wonder that it has become such a classic in the R&B and soul genres.
