Nothing Can Be Done

Joni Mitchell

Must I forgive you
Each time
And say you don't know what you're doing
There are no victimless crimes
I know of
Out here in these graffiti ruins
My love

Oh, I'm not old
I'm told
But I am not young
Oh and nothing can be done
Don't start (don't start)
My heart (my heart)
Is a smoking gun (is a smoking gun)
Oh, and nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
(Nothing can be done)

I heard you leaving, oh
Late last night
I heard you screaming down the mountain
Like you were running red lights, red lights
(Nothing can be done)
You had some trash can rock band pounding (can be done)

I am not old
I'm told
But I am not young
Oh, and nothing can be done
Don't start (don't start)
My heart (my heart)
Is a smoking gun (is a smoking gun)
Oh, and nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
(No) nothing (nothing)
(Nothing can be done) nothing can be done
(Nothing can be done)

Must I surrender, oh
With grace
The things I loved when I was younger
(Sweet embrace)
Must I remember your face
So well
Nothing can be done
What do I do here with this hunger? Oh
(Nothing can be done)

Oh, I am not old
I'm told
But I am not young
Oh, and nothing can be done
Don't start (don't start)
My heart (my heart)
Is a smoking gun (is a smoking gun)
Oh, and nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
No (nothing can be done)
(Nothing can be done) (can be done)
Oh, nothing can be done (nothing can be done)
Nothing, oh
Nothing can be done
Nothing can be done
Ooh (nothing can be done)
