Ain`t no love in the heart of the city
Ain`t no love in the heart of town
Ain`t no love, and it`s sure `nough a pity
Ain`t no love `cause you ain`t around

When you were mine
Oh, I was feeling so good
`Cause your love lit up
This whole neighborhood
But now that you`re gone
You know the sun don`t shine
From the city hall to the county line
And that`s why I said

Ain`t no love in the heart of the city
Ain`t no love in the heart of town
Ain`t no love, and it sure is a pity
Ain`t no love `cause you ain`t around

Every place that I go
Oh, it seems so strange
Without you there
Things have changed
The nighttime call
There`s a blanket of gloom
Another teardrop fall
In my lonely room

I said there ain`t no love in the heart of the city
There ain`t no love in the heart of town, yeah
There ain`t no love, and ain`t it a pity?
Ain`t no love `cause you ain`t around, love

And now that you`re gone
Oh, the sun don`t shine
From the city hall
To the county line

I said there ain`t no love in the heart of the city
Ain`t no love in the heart of town
Ain`t no love, it sure is a pity
Ain`t no love `cause you ain`t around
`Cause you ain`t around
Ain`t no love in the heart of the city
Ain`t no love in this great big old town
Ain`t no love, and ain`t it a pity?
Ain`t no love `cause you ain`t around
Ain`t no love in the heart of the city
Ain`t no love in the heart of this town
Ain`t no love
