Lyrics
Verse 1 I was coolin' my heels I was in control Thought I was a player, didn't worry 'bout my soul I knew life as a con game Out to steal me blind And then I heard it was for me that Jesus chose to die Chorus He gave me somethin' for nothin', baby Somethin' for nothin', it's the truth He gave me somethin' for nothin', baby Somethin' for nothin' You may say you can't believe it but I'm tellin' you Believin's all you gotta do Verse 2 You can believe in your money Believe in your friends Believe in yourself, but all of that is gonna end If you wait 'till tomorrow You may play the fool 'Cause if it turns to never, your forever won't be cool Chorus 'Cause there's somethin' for nothin', baby Somethin' for nothin', that's the Truth He'll give you somethin' for nothin', baby Somethin' for nothin' You may say you can't believe it but I'm tellin' you Believin's all you gotta do Tag Believin's all you gotta do Just believe that this is true Yeah, there's somethin' for nothin' © 2001 by Pretty Pony Music (SESAC)
