No Love Today
I don't know much when I knew lessAnd I was heartbroke for the first timeDrowning in my tearsI went looking for a lifelineTrying to find some comfortJust a simple tender touchSearching for some little cureThat would mot cost too muchAnd I can hear that produce wagon on the streetI can hear that farmer singing'Cause I cried myself to sleep"I got bananas, and watermelonand peaches by the poundsweet corn, mirleton, more better than in townI've got okra, enough to choke youBeans of every kindIf hungry is what's eating youI'll sell you piece of mind"But this ain't what you came to hear me sayAnd I hate to disappoint youI got no love todayI got no love todayI got no love todayLetras de cancionesNo love todayI could not love to save myselffrom lonesome desperationEverything I thought was lovewas worthless imitationMy concept of commitmentwas to take all you could giveI thought the cheapest thrillsI loved were teaching me to liveBut nothing seemed to last or see me throughNothing but that little songthat I still sing for you"I got bananas, and watermelonand peaches by the pound,sweet corn, mirleton, more better than in townI've got okra, enough to choke youBeans of every kindIf hungry is what's eating youI'll sell you piece of mind"But this ain't what you came to hear me sayAnd I hate to disappoint youI got no love todayI got no love todayI got no love todayNo love todayNo love todaynone tomorrownot nownot foreverYou can't see what comes for freeI think you're much too cleverFor your own goodI will tell you what's right before your eyesIntelligence is no defense against what this impliesIn the end no one will sell you what you needYou can't buy it off the shelfYou got to grow it from the seed'Cause, "I got bananas, and watermelonand peaches by the poundSweet corn, mirletonmore better than in townI've got okraenough to choke youBeans of every kindIf hungry is what's eating youI'll sell you piece of mind"But this ain't what you came to hear me sayAnd I hate to disappoint youBut I'm gonna disappoint youI've got no love todayI got no love todayI got no love todayNo love today From Letras Mania
