things ain't like they used to be

Singer:black keys, the

i went around the way for you

did all those things you asked me to

i thought it was the perfect day

till she just opened up to say

it doesn't mean a thing to me

it doesn't mean a thing to me

and it's about time you see

things ain't like they used to be

i headed out to lester hill

but that just made me weaker still

she's got the kind of love i need

the kind that's never good on me

it doesn't mean a thing to me

it doesn't mean a thing to me

and it's about time you see

things ain't like they used to be

i walked into the battle blind

it happens almost all the time

the yard is kind of overgrown

and all those happy times are gone

it doesn't mean a thing to me

it doesn't mean a thing to me

and it's about time you see

that things ain't like they used to be

it doesn't mean a thing to me

oh

it doesn't mean a thing to me

and it's about time you see

things ain't like they used to be
