Marx, Richard - Nothing You Can Do About It Lyrics






Have you heard the news?
I'm doing what I said I would
So now you say
Boy, I always knew you could

My wildest dreams
Murdered by reality
I gave all I could give you
But now I'm taking back what belongs to me

I read you like a drugstore book
How'd I ever think you were cool
You got no bait left on your hook
You're no friend, and buddy, I'm no fool

Ain't nothin' you can do about it
Ain't nothin' you can say
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
No one's gonna stand in my way

I've done my time
I've given up my pound of flesh
So why can't the man seem to understand
That I've already passed the test

You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my spirit give in
But I'm here to make a big, big sound
It's your turn to lose and it's my turn to win

Ain't nothin' you can do about it
Ain't nothin' you can say
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
No one's gonna stand in my way

I know you can never go back
Once you turn and walk out that door
Got no time for worries like that
I'm not a kid anymore

You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my soul give in
But now I'm here to make a big, big sound
It's your turn to lose and it's my turn to win

Ain't nothin' you can do about it
Ain't nothin' you can say
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
No one's gonna stand in my way

  18. d.... ....

    I think Richard Marx is the dreamiest rock star ever

    d.... ....

    deputyseal409 He definitely IS the dreamiest rock star ever! In fact, he is ultra - dreamy!!!!!

  19. m.... ....

    Go Steve Lukather!

  20. a.... ....

    @fittingly why would you bet it is true? Have you even met the man before? Or at least watched some personal interviews? Sheesh, making up stuff it sounds like to me.

  21. f.... ....

    @africanchick23 Can't remember where I read that, back in the day.

    Prolly not true.

    Bet it is, though.

  22. f.... ....

    This guy was easily one of the most talented artists to come outta the 80s. A pretty big statement alone.

    But I'll even take it a step further and say he may well be one of the most talented rock/ pop artists, EVER.

    The only reason I could see behind anyone's believing to the contrary would be because that someone hasn't heard Marx' entire catalogue.

    Artistry aside, though: I've heard he's a dickhead. And I don't doubt it. He just has that "dickhead look" about him.

    Rock on, Rich.

    f.... ....

    He's definitely not a dickhead. He's probably the most down to earth famous person on the planet. Not one ounce of fame has gone to his head.

  23. 2.... ....

    amazing!

  24. f.... ....

    Great Song.
    I used to listen to it every day before going to court!

    I won!

  25. M.... ....
