Lyrics

NOTHING TO GAIN
Mark Patterson © 2025

Getting her to say yes was my greatest success
The Good Lord was showing off when he designed her
We're going dancing tonight if she can find the right dress
Before I nod off in the recliner

If you looked in the mirror and saw what I see
You couldn't help but ask your reflection
What in God's name is she doing with me?
And I swear I can't answer that question

I hit the jackpot lottery the whole shebang
Made out like a bandit she's the yin to my yang
She'll bless your heart or she can break it in two
Loves a good fight and all that hullabaloo
But she's quick to make up and man is she good at that too
She's high maintenance but I don't mind
'Cause she's high performance when it's gettin' lucky time
She's got her faults but you won't hear me complain
To stray with someone new I'd have to be insane
I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain

I hit the jackpot lottery the whole shebang
Made out like a bandit she's the yin to my yang
She'll bless your heart or she can break it in two
Loves a good fight and all that hullabaloo
But she's quick to make up and man is she good at that too
She's high maintenance but I don't mind
'Cause she's high performance when it's gettin' lucky time
She's got her faults but you won't hear me complain
To stray with someone new I'd have to be insane
I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain

It was fifteen minutes an hour ago
And I liked all the outfits the same
I know we're way past time to go
But I also know the rules of the game

I want to tell her darlin' you look wonderful tonight
But she can make a compliment a crime
She'd just say so have I got this right
I look like Hell the rest of the time

I hit the jackpot lottery the whole shebang
Made out like a bandit she's the yin to my yang
She'll bless your heart or she can break it in two
Loves a good fight and all that hullabaloo
But she's quick to make up and man is she good at that too
She's high maintenance but I don't mind
'Cause she's high performance when it's gettin' lucky time
She's got her faults but you won't hear me complain
To stray with someone new I'd have to be insane
I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain
I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain
Yeah I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain
