about

"First of all, your version of “I Who Have Nothing" is nothing short of a masterpiece. You have given the song a new life, especially the line “What a bitch! What a bitch!" Your voice has a different timbre to it, and it resonates like never before. Congratulations!" - Richard Perry

"Unbelievable OMG I who have nothing, you have everything! Wow" - Michael Des Barres

"Let me say this once more? What a powerful single this is!" - WoNo Blog

"While Recording 'I Who Have Nothing'…..I thought Who better than Nile Rodgers can give me the genuine R&B Groove  this song needed…I knew the guitar player for me was Nile Rodgers!I sent him an email and he called me right back!  I sent him the Basic tracks and he did not hesitate to say “Yes” he would do the rhythm tracks. Did he ever!!!!!I admire him and all  music he has ever played on. Example:  Diana Ross -Madonna -David Bowie Joss Stone-Mick Jagger the list is too long to continue. If any one can ‘ Rock and Chug’ its Nile The proof is in this  recording." - Genya Ravan

lyrics

I WHO HAVE NOTHING
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one

Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you
But Ooh, I love you

You can go any place you want
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with her
My nose pressed up against the window pane
The window pane
Ooo Yeah… Yeah

She, she buys you diamonds
Say they're bright, they are bright sparkling diamonds
But believe me, boy, Ooo boy, hear what I say
She could give you the world
But she'll never love you the way
That I love you, baby

I Who have nothing
I Who have no one
Must watch you
I will watch you, baby
Go passing by
Wrapped in the arms of
arms of somebody else
