Ain't No Love
Bobby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love, and it's sure 'nuff a pity
Ain't no love, 'cause you ain't around
When you were mine
Oh, I was feeling so good
'Cause your love lit up this old neighborhood
You know the sun don't shine
From the city hall to the county line
That's why I said
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love, and it sure is a pity
Ain't no love, 'cause you ain't around
Every place that I go
Oh, it seems so strange
Without you there
Things have changed
The night time calls
There's a blanket of gloom
Another teardrop falls
In my lonely room
I said ain't no love
In the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love, ain't any pity
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around
And now that you're gone
Oh, the sun don't shine
From the city hall to the county line, I said
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love, it sure is a pity
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around
'Cause you ain't around
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in this great big old town
Ain't no love, and ain't it a pity
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of this town
The lyrics of Bobby Blue Bland's Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City express the feeling of loneliness and grief that comes with a lost love. The opening line "Ain't no love in the heart of the city" sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer describing the bleakness of his surroundings without his loved one. The absence of love is emphasized through repetition in the chorus, with the phrase "ain't no love" being sung four times. This underscores the depth of the singer's pain and emphasizes the emptiness he feels without his beloved.
The verses paint a picture of the singer's life before and after the loss of his love. The first verse describes how his lover's presence had brought joy and light to his neighborhood, with her love "light[ing] up this old neighborhood," but now that she's gone, "the sun don't shine." The following verse illustrates how the loss of love has led to the singer feeling disconnected from his surroundings. He notes how "every place that I go seems so strange," and that "things have changed" without her there. The final verse describes the disconsolate state of the singer's heart, with "another teardrop falls" in his "lonely room."
Overall, the song is a lamentation for lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the pain and isolation felt by the singer, with the repetition of "ain't no love" emphasizing the depth of his despair.

Yes, it’s played during the final act and it’s the perfect song for the scene. The lyrics add so much depth to Miles’ predicament.
