It Ain't No Fun Lyrics - Singles - Shirley Brown

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
