I Never Ask for Nothin'
Silent Desires and Unspoken Dreams
Lyrics
I never ask for nothin'
I refrain from requesting anything
Never would speak up
I avoid expressing my needs or desires
I didn't want the trouble
I avoid problems and conflicts
Didn't want to make a fuss
I don't want to create a disturbance
There's just two kinds of people
There are two types of people: the wealthy and the less fortunate
The haves and the have nots
Referring to the societal divide between the rich and the poor
I never ask for nothin'
I don't make requests
So nothing's what I got
As a consequence, I end up with nothing
She was all I ever wanted
A woman I desired
cnd I was a setting sun
I was in a state of decline or failure
Hellbent on burning out
Determined to burn out before facing rejection
Before she had the chance to run
Before she had the chance to leave me
I guess I could've asked her
I could have asked her out
It was probably worth a shot
It was worth a try
I never ask for nothin'
I refrain from making requests
So nothing's what I got
As a result, I end up with nothing
Well it's gonna take a little water for a seed to grow
Growth requires effort and resources
cnd there ain't a door I've ever heard of that opened on it's own
Doors don't open on their own; action is required
So ask and you just might receive more often times than not
Asking increases the chances of receiving
I never ask for nothin' so nothing's what I got
Despite this wisdom, I don't ask and receive nothing
I had a dream that I'm invited
A dream of being invited to God's house
To the house of God
Symbolic of a spiritual experience
The porch light is shining
The way forward is illuminated
But the front door is locked
The entrance is inaccessible
cnd I just stand there wondering
Contemplating whether to seek entry
If I should ring the bell or not
Uncertainty about taking action
I never ask for nothin' so nothing's what I got
I refrain from asking, hence receive nothing
Well it's gonna take a little water for a seed to grow
Growth requires effort and resources (repeated theme)
cnd there ain't a door I've ever heard of that opened on it's own
Doors don't open on their own (repeated theme)
So ask and you just might receive more often times than not
Asking increases the chances of receiving (repeated theme)
I never ask for nothin' so nothing's what I got
I refrain from asking, hence receive nothing (repeated theme)
csk and you just might receive more often times than not
Emphasizing the importance of asking to receive
I never ask for nothin' so nothing's what I got
Despite the advice, I still refrain from asking and receive nothing
