[Verse 1]
Well, talk about love, it's a doggone shame
Talk about love I hate that name
Love don't love poor me at all
Love is the cause of my downfall

[Chorus 1]
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Love is the devil but it won't get me

[Verse 2]
Love is fine if it's on your side
Love did me wrong and how I cried
Love made baby put me down
And now the news is all over town

[Chorus 2]
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Doggone you love, I'm through with you, hey

[Verse 3]
Well I had a lot of money, living like a king
Never had to worry about a doggone thing
Love came along, ain't got a dime
My baby left me standing in the back door crying
[Chorus 1]
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Love is the devil but it won't get me

[Verse 4]
Well I'm gonna find me a woman uglier than me
She can be old or fat, maybe
All I wanna do is rock at home
Love's the proposition from now on

[Chorus 2]
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Doggone you love, I'm through with you, now

[Outro]
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Love don't love nobody
Doggone you love, I'm through with you
