About The Song
“I’m Tired of Being Something (That Means Nothing to You)” appears on Conway Twitty’s 1990 album *Crazy in Love*, released by MCA Records. The song was written by LaDonna Brewer and produced by Conway Twitty and Dee Henry. It was recorded during the same sessions that produced the album’s two major singles, “Crazy in Love” and “I Couldn’t See You Leavin’.”
The track was not issued as a single and did not appear on the country charts in its own right. It remained an album cut, one of several mid-tempo ballads that filled out the collection. By 1990 Twitty was in the later stage of a career that had already produced dozens of number-one hits, and *Crazy in Love* continued the pattern of polished country recordings that kept him visible on radio.
The lyric describes a one-sided relationship. The singer acknowledges advice from others that he would be better off leaving, yet admits how difficult it is to walk away from something he still values. He expresses weariness at caring deeply for someone who treats the connection as temporary and does not return the same level of commitment. The repeated refrain underscores that sense of imbalance.
Twitty delivers the material in the smooth, controlled style that marked much of his work in the final years of his recording career. The arrangement is straightforward, with the focus kept on the vocal and the clear storytelling. Background support remains understated, consistent with the production approach used across the album.
The album itself reached number 35 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and produced two Top Three singles. “I’m Tired of Being Something (That Means Nothing to You)” sits among the deeper tracks that rounded out the project, reflecting the same themes of emotional honesty that appeared in many of Twitty’s later recordings.
Within the broader catalogue of Twitty’s 1990s material, the song stands as a representative album track from a period when he continued to explore familiar country themes of love and regret with the steady delivery that had long defined his work.

Lyric
Everybody tells me I’d be better off without you
They say one-sided love affairs tend to leave you lonely, sad, and blue
But, I’m finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
And, I’m tired of being something that means nothing to youI’d love to see the day you come and tell me I’m the only one you need
You’ve got me right where you want me, right where I shouldn’t be
But, I’m finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
Oh, and I’m tired of being something that means nothing to youI’m tired of being everything that you don’t care anything about
It’s just enough to be too much for me to take, and I want out
You’re in and out of love with me, not realizing all you put me through
And, I’m tired of being something that means nothing to youOh, I’m tired of being something that means nothing to you…
