[Verse 1: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]
Nothing to show beyond the fear I had
Body so warm within his perfumed bed
Sleeping alone, the shadow of a man
He will entice you, too, and if he can

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been

[Verse 2: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]
Nothing is handed, power is changing fast
Many the empty hopes his lips caress
Sorry to say his days are spent in vain
Chasing a dream of doom of nights in pain

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]
Shadowy nights of memories of the grave
Gentle my love, and sweetness sometimes sick
Pick up his times while his crimes are known
Only a fool can't see he's sold his love
