"Not For Nothing" lyrics

I was ready for you
I'll never know how to thank you
Everything that you do
Is setting me free
All the wisdom in the world
Couldn't penetrate or ring true
If not for my little girl
It's not for nothing that I

I was waiting for you
Behind a high wall of poses
Now I look at life through
Your innocent eyes
Teach me how to be a child
You can slip through my defences
Inhibition running wild
Mass confusion in my senses

Nearer, I really mean sincere
Open your heart to me
I just wanted to let you know
That I want to be nearer
Let's make a start together
I couldn't let you go
I just wanted to let you know
The nearer you are
The clearer I see
The clearer I see
The nearer you are
The nearer you are
The happier I will be

I was ready for you
I'll never know how to thank you
Everything that you do
Is setting me free
All the wisdom in the world
Couldn't penetrate or ring true
If not for my little girl
It's not for nothing that I
It's not for nothing that I
Love you
Love you
It's not for nothing that I
Love you
It's not for nothing that I
Want you
It's not for nothing that I
Need you
It's not for nothing
Love you
