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 enough is 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 old neighbourhood
But now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city hall 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 sure enough is a pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around

Every place that I go
It seems so strange
Without you there
Things have changed
When your night-time calls
There's a blanket of gloom
Another teardrop falls in my lonely room
