Ain't No Love
Hank & Cupcakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you hear that lonesome sound
Oh, my poor old heart is breakin'
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
Lord, I think I'll start to ramble
Got to leave this weary town
This old place is way too lonely
On that train tonight I'm leavin'
And don't ask me where I'm bound
I can't stay here any longer
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
Mem-o-ries come back to haunt me
My dream house has done fell down
This old world is dark around me
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
Something tells me that I'm losing
'Cause these weary blues I've found
Oh, my bab' y left this morning
Lord, my sweet love ain't around.
The song Ain't No Love by Hank & Cupcakes is an emotive and melancholic tune that expresses the pain and heartbreak of losing a beloved. The song begins with the sound of rain falling, adding to the already somber mood and setting the scene for a lonely and desolate place. The singer's heart is broken, and they can't help but feel the emptiness left by their love's absence. They see no reason to stick around and have decided to leave town, feeling that the memories of their love are too painful to endure. The singer is resigned to their loss and somewhat helpless, with the lyrics indicating that something tells them they're losing, and the weary blues they've found suggest that they're not finding the comfort or happiness they crave.
The song's lyrics are simple but powerful, evoking a sense of longing and sadness in the listener, and the melancholic melody heightens the emotional impact of the lyrics. The repetition of the line "my sweet love ain't around" emphasizes the singer's sense of loss and loneliness. The song invites the listener to empathize and connect with the emotions expressed, and the haunting melody and mournful lyrics create a sense of solidarity with anyone who has loved and lost.

Listen to the rain a-fallin'
The sound of rain matches the sound of my lonely heart
Can't you hear that lonesome sound
The sound of rain is a reminder that my love is not here with me
Oh, my poor old heart is breakin'
I am heartbroken without my love
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
I am lonely because my love is not with me
Lord, I think I'll start to ramble
I need to leave this place and go on a journey
Got to leave this weary town
This town is too lonely and depressing for me
This old place is way too lonely
Being in this place without my love makes me feel unbearably lonely
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
My love is not with me and that is why I feel lonely
On that train tonight I'm leavin'
I am leaving on a train later today
And don't ask me where I'm bound
I don't know where I will end up
I can't stay here any longer
I cannot bear to stay in this place any longer
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
I feel lonely because my love is not with me
Mem-o-ries come back to haunt me
Memories of my love are painful and haunt me
My dream house has done fell down
The vision I had of my future with my love has crumbled
This old world is dark around me
The world seems bleak and dark when my love is not with me
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
I feel lonely because my love is not with me
Something tells me that I'm losing
I have a feeling that I am losing everything
'Cause these weary blues I've found
I feel tired and weary with the sadness of my situation
Oh, my bab' y left this morning
My love left me this morning
Lord, my sweet love ain't around.
I feel lonely because my love is not with me
