It Ain't No Fun

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
