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 when you ain't around

When you were mine, oh, I was feeling so good
The way you lovelied up the whole neighborhood
But 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 when you ain't around

Now that you're gone it feels so strange
Without you there things have changed
The nights are cold, there's a blanket of gloom
Another teardrop falls in my lonely room

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 when you ain't around

And now that you're gone, you know the sun don't shine
From the city hall down to the county line

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 when you ain't around

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 when you ain't around

Ain't no love, no loving, baby, no love today
I wanna see that lovely face, oh
I gotta dance, meet up in the morning time
Just thinking 'bout the love and the sunshine
Ain't no love, alright
Ain't no love, love
