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 'nuff a pity
Ain't no love, 'cause you ain't around

When you were mine
I was feeling so good
'Cause your love lit up
This whole neighborhood
And now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city hall to the county line
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's sure 'nuff 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 calls
With a blanket of gloom
Another teardrop falls
In my lonely room, 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's sure 'nuff a pity
Ain't no love, 'cause you ain't around
That's why I said

Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the great big old town
Ain't no love, and ain't it a pity
Ain't no love, 'cause you ain't around
No you ain't around

Ain't no love
'Cause you ain't around
