Shirley Brown - It Ain't No Fun lyrics

When it's getting late I guess you'll soon be coming home, yeah We'll sit and talk and you'll pretend That your love for me is gone, well You act as though I'm just a friend A quick hello and you'll be down You'll be down again, oh But it ain't no fun Being in love all by yourself I tell you it ain't much fun When the one you love loves someone else And I love you Sometimes you say sweet things To make me think you care Don't you do that, baby But tell me how can you give love When no love, when no love is there I wish I knew the words to say To save the love that's slipping away Away from me It ain't no fun Being in love all by yourself It ain't much fun Being in love all by yourself Yeah, I know a lot of you ladies out there Are probably criticizing me this evening I even run into some ladies occasionally out there Have the nerve to ask me They say, Shirley, did you really do that? Did you really buy him all those cars And the clothes like you said on the record? Yeah, love'll make you do these things It's a funny thing how these men Can make you lie in bed night after night Wondering if they coming home Laying there by the phone Hoping that any minute he'll call And tell you, baby, I'll be there shortly You just hold on, I'm coming Comes in three days later, yeah I know you know what I'm talking about You see, it ain't no fun to have to sit there And count the tile on the floor Count them four walls And another funny thing How we ladies can get on that telephone Talking day after day about how sweet And how good our love life is You might be familiar with this Commercial that comes on TV How's your love life? Knowing all the time that it's rotten Ha ha, having to laugh to keep from crying Ha ha ha, like I'm doing now But you see, the only thing I've always believed in Whatever makes me feel happy I try to do whatever it takes To keep it that way But you see, it ain't no fun Being in love all by yourself Knowing all the time that the one you love Is loving somebody else I'm standing here to tell you today, ladies That it ain't no fun It ain't no fun Being in love all by yourself No, it ain't no fun When the one you love loves someone else It ain't no fun, no, it ain't Being in love all by yourself No, no, no, oh, no, oh, oh, oh
