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

       Every place that I go, well, it seems so strange.
       Without you, 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.

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, 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.

And 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.

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.
