I've been doing the math
Ever since you left
Pondering the properties of lonelyness
Stacking your efforts
Right up against mine
You know I get the same answer everytime

Chorus:
You take four-hundrend seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh now zero
Ummm,ummm

Now I remember learning all of this
Back in school
Guess I never did apply it to me and you
So I guess I'll be the one
That'll carry the blame
Cause sometimes nothing
Always ends the same

Chorus:
You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
You put 'em all together
And you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh nothing but zero
Ummm,ummm

Now everytime I think of how hard you cried
Baby by blues just multiply

Chorus:
You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Oh you get zero
Oh nothing but zero
Oh yeah zero
