NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK ANYMORE
(Richard Mainegra / Milton Blackford)


Billie Jo Spears & Del Reeves - 1976



Our bedroom still looks warm and cozy
Like the first time that we closed the door
I can still feel you tremble all over
As your nightgown fell down to the floor

I remember how you used to warm me
Just a touch of your hand made me sigh
I'd kiss you and you'd fall to pieces
I'd make it right, but something wrong made you cry

But nothing seems to work anymore
The fire in our hearts doesn't burn like before
We turn out the lights and we still close that door
But nothing seems to work anymore

(Instrumental Break)

Sometimes when I lay beside you
I wonder just what's on your mind
Can't you see just how much I want you
Darlin' how can you be so blind

But nothing seems to work anymore
The fire in our hearts doesn't burn like before
We turn out the lights and we still close that door
But nothing seems to work anymore
Oh, nothing seems to work anymore
