[Verse 1] It's just heartbreakin' I should've known that it would let me down It's just a mind-achin' I used to dream about this town It was a sight to see, the place to be Where the living is easy And the kicks can always be found [Verse 2] It's such a shame about it I used to think that it would feel so good But who's to blame about it? So many creeps in Hollywood I'm in this dumb motel near the Taco Bell Without a hope in hell I can't believe that I'm still around [Chorus] Ain't nothin' new in my life today Ain't nothing true, it's all gone away [Alternate Verse 1] I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief I'm sick of tryin', it's beyond belief I'm tired of talkin' on the telephone They're trying to tell me that they're not at home [Chorus] Ain't nothing new in my life today [Alternate Verse 2] I've had enough of walking from place to place I've yet to come across a friendly face And now the words sound familiar, as they slam the door "You're not what we're looking for" [Chorus] Ain't nothing new in my life today Ain't nothing true, it's all gone away [Bridge] If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you [Verse 3] It was heartbreakin' Now I ride in the big fine car It was mind-achin' I'm the talk of the Boulevard So keep your chin up boy, forget the pain I know you'll make it if you try again There's no use in quitting When the world is waiting for you
