Capo 2
[C]I don't know much, when I knew less, And I was h[E]eartbroke for the first time,
I was [C]drowning in my tears, I went [E]looking for a lifeline,
[C]Trying to find some comfort, A [Am]simple tender touch,
Se[Bm]arching for some lit[Am]tle cure That [E]would not cost too much,
And I could [F]hear that produce wagon on the s[Am]treet,
I could h[F]ear that farmer singing, As I cried m[G]yself to sleep
I got [C]ba-na-na, watermelon, [E]peaches by the pound,
Sweet c[C]orn, mirleton, [E]mo' better than in town,
I got o[C]kra, enough to choke ya, [Am]Beans of every kind,
If h[Bm]ungry is what's [Am]eatin' you I'll s[E]ell you peace of mind,
But this [F]ain't what you came to hear me [Am]say,
And I [F]hate to disappoint you, But I [G]got no love today,
I got [C]no love t[E]oday, I [C]got no love [E]today, No love [Am]today
I could not love to save myself From lonesome desperation.
Everything I thought was love Was worthless imitation.
My concept of commitment Was to take all you could give,
I thought the cheapest thrills I loved Were teachin' me to live,
But nothin' seemed to last or see me through
Nothin' but that little song That I still sing for you.
No love today, none tomorrow, Not now, not forever.
You can't see what comes for free, I think you much too clever,
For your own good I will tell you What's right before your eyes,
Intelligence is no defense Against what this implies,
In the end no one will sell you what you need,
You can't buy it off the shelf, You got to grow it from the seed,
