[Chorus] Ain't no love
In the heart of the city
Daddy, there ain't no love
In the heart of town
Oh daddy, there ain't no love
In the show of them pity
Daddy, there ain't no love
'Cause you ain't around

[Verse 1] When you were mine
I was feeling so good
'Cause you loved this neighborhood
Oh daddy, now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city, oh, to the county line

[Chorus] That's why I say that there ain't no love
In the heart of the city
Daddy, there ain't no love
In the heart of town
No daddy, ain't no love
In the show (meant) of the pity
Daddy, there ain't no love
'Cause you ain't around

[Verse 2] Every place where I go
And I would seem so strange
Without you there, things have changed
Oh daddy, now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city, oh, to the county line, yeah

[Chorus] That's why I say there ain't no love
In the heart of the city
Daddy, there ain't no love
In the heart of town
No daddy, ain't no love
In the show of them pity
Daddy, there ain't no love
'Cause you ain't around

[Interlude] The rusty trombones

[Alternative Chorus] Oh daddy, now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city, oh, to the county line, yeah
Oh daddy, now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city, oh, to the county line

[Outro] That's why I say there ain't no love
Ain't no love
Ain't no love
Ain't no love
Ain't no love
Ain't no love
Ain't no love
Ain't no love
