No Love Today |
I don’t know much, when I knew less |
And I was heartbroke for the first time |
I was drowning in my tears |
I went looking for a lifeline |
Trying to find some comfort |
A simple tender touch |
Searching for some little cure |
That would not cost too much |
And I could hear that produce wagon on the street |
I could hear that farmer singing |
As I cried myself to sleep |
I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound |
Sweet corn, mirleton, mo' better than in town |
I got okra, enough to choke ya |
Beans of every kind |
If hungry is what’s eatin' you |
I’ll sell you peace of mind |
But this ain’t what you came to hear me say |
And I hate to disappoint you |
But I got no love today |
I got no love today |
I got no love today |
No love today |
I could not love to save myself |
From lonesome desperation |
Everything I thought was love |
Was worthless imitation |
My concept of commitment |
Was to take all you could give |
I thought the cheapest thrills I loved |
Were teachin' me to live |
But nothin' seemed to last or see me through |
Nothin' but that little song |
That I still sing for you |
I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound |
Sweet corn, mirleton, mo' better than in town |
I got okra, enough to choke ya |
Beans of every kind |
If hungry is what’s eatin' you |
I’ll sell you peace of mind |
But this ain’t what you came to hear me say |
And I hate to disappoint you |
But I got no love today |
I got no love today |
I got no love today |
No love today |
No love today, none tomorrow |
Not now, not forever |
You can’t see what comes for free |
I think you much too clever |
For your own good I will tell you |
What’s right before your eyes |
Intelligence is no defense |
Against what this implies |
In the end no one will sell you what you need |
You can’t buy it off the shelf |
You got to grow it from the seed |
I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound |
Sweet corn, mirleton, mo' better than in town |
I got okra, enough to choke ya |
Beans of every kind |
If hungry is what’s eatin' you |
I’ll sell you peace of mind |
But this ain’t what you came to hear me say |
And I hate to disappoint you |
But I got no love today |
I got no love today |
I got no love today |
No love today |
