Ain't no love in the heart of the city,

Ain't no love in the heart of town.

Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,

Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Baby, since you been around.



Ain't no love in the heart of the city,

Ain't no love in the heart of town.

Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child

Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.



Every place that I go,

Well, it seems so strange.

Without you love, baby, baby,

Things have changed.

Now that you're gone

Y'know the sun don't shine,

From the city hall

To the county line, that's why



Ain't no love in the heart of the city,

Ain't no love in the heart of town.

Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,

Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go,

Well, it seems so strange.

Without you love, baby, baby,

Things have changed.

Now that you're gone

Y'know the sun don't shine,

From the city hall

Woman, to the county line, that's why



Ain't no love in the heart of the city,

There ain't no love in the heart of town.

There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,

Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.



(Solo)



There ain't no love in the heart of the city,

There ain't no love in the heart of town.

Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,

Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around,

'Cos you ain't around.
