Nothing Else

I tried money, I got as much as I could

And I went to the store and I bought it all

But it wasn't enough 'cause I wanted some more

But my house was full

So I bought a bigger house and filled it up

And there I was with all that stuff and empty

Nothing else can take the place of You

It's true

Oh, nothing else can take the place of You

I know it's true

Still I try friendship, I called everyone I knew

And invited them over for a party

They ate all the free food

And they told me how much they loved me

Oh, but when the food was gone, my friends were gone

And there I was all alone and empty

'Cause nothing else can take the place of You

Nothing else

Oh, nothing else can take the place of You

I know it's true, yeah

So take the place, the place of You

And fill this space the way You do

'Cause I'm tired of searching, those days are through

So take the place, it's made for You

Nothing in the world gonna take the place

Nothing in the world gonna take the place

Nothing in the world gonna take the place of You

Not friends or money or alcohol

None of these things, believe me

You can try them all

Not status, not success

I know none of these things

Will ever bring true happiness

Nothing else can take the place of You

Nothing else

Nothing else can take the place of You

Yes, I know

Nothing else can take the place of You

The place of You

Nothing else can take the place of You
