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

(solo)

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
