Joan Armatrading - No Love Lyrics






Well you started out wanting my body
And I didn't mind
'Cos we liked each other
And it also helped to pass the time

Well everybody dreams of one
And now I want you
And not just for fun
But if you've got no love to give
Baby don't give it here

I wanted you to be my lover
I would be your friend
And I'd wear the purple shirt
'Cos it makes you laugh
And I would too

Well if there's anything I can do
I wanna do it
And if I had no love to give
I wouldn't give it to you

Your best friend's friend told someone
I was the hurting kind
And they've planted that seed
And it's growing there in your mind

Well if you're looking for a permanent mate
Just accept me as your fate
'Cos if I had no love to give
I wouldn't give it to you

    Sheffield River Island, in the 80's Terry ( the chippy ) throwing it out on a ghetto blaster, Quickwood Shopfitters, good times for sure but they came at a cost.

    Haven't heard this since I was a kid but had the sax solo stuck in my head for days. Been racking my brain trying to think where it came from. Finally worked it out. She writes such intelligent lyrics and such beautiful melodies. So glad I found it again!

    Loved Joanie (like I really know her) since I picked up her album at a yard sale for a dollar, listened to tall in the saddle for several hours. saw her in concert in Denver, CO, Wilsonville, OR, Bozeman, MT, St. Paul, MN. Sounds cliché but she's written much of the dramatic soundtrack of my life, she sang the vulnerability I felt back in the day.....thank you Joanie Armatrading. You are underrated but so loved!!

    I've loved this entire album since way back I don't know when... and this song is SO spot on I can't tell you. I was lucky enough to see Joan live in Liverpool some years back...truly one of the best "gigs" I've ever been to. Such wonderful, human emotion without any pretense whatsoever. Joan... <3

  33. S.... ....

    Great snare sound by Jerry Marotta

  34. C.... R....

    these chords I was exploring my guitar.
    Being proud and in all states of mind
    One day I put the plastic black LP on my pick-up.
    Exactly the same chords!
    So I was doing fine, guessing I wasn't the father of this song...
    NICE GIG, JoanyLove.

    boy, what a winning song. for about 15 years i've been walking around remembering joan had a song with a sweet angelic voice, but never knowing which song it was. the purity of the voice here rivals eva cassidy. exquisite.
