In a way
I really don't know much at all
And if you say
That I'm simple
You're on the ball

On the ball to say
That I'm going nowhere
But I'm going nowhere
With love

They all say
That I'm not impressive at best
That's okay
I've got nobody to impress
My impression is
They'd rather be elsewhere
Oh, I'm staying nowhere
With love

Well, it's better to be happy
In a cardboard shack
Than to be alone in a castle
All you get for your money
Is a heart attack
I'd just as soon alleviate the hassle

Everyday
I watch the go-getters go by
Even they
Say the ladder is much too high
Why should I go high
I'm happy below there
Right here in nowhere
With love

Hey, it's better to happy
In a cardboard shack
Than to be alone in a castle
All you get for your money
Is a heart attack
I'd just as soon alleviate the hassle

Everyday
I watch the go-getters go by
And even they
Say the ladder is much too high
And why should I go high
I'm happy below there
Right here in nowhere
With love
