You Can't Get Lovin’ (1919)

(Where There Ain’t Any Love)
A popular song from 1919
Words and music by Will E. Skidmore and Jack Baxley
Lyrics
1. I’ve cried my last time over any Gal
It ain’t a bit of use
I treat ’em all the best that I know how
But in return I get abuse
I “fell hard” for one certain Miss
But she neve loved me
So, I sat right down and figured out
And the answer seems to be
Chorus
You can get WATER where there ain’t any WELL
You can hear RINGING where there ain’t any BELL
You can get PEACHES where there ain’t any TREES
And you can get HONEY where there ain’t any BEES
You can get HEARTACHES where there ain’t any PAIN
You can get SUNSHINE always after the RAIN
You can often find HEAVEN without going ABOVE
But you CAN’T get LOVIN’ where there ain’t any LOVE
2. I used to love that Gal with all my soul
I’ll say she sure could “Vamp”
When she’d go way just for a single day
Oh! how my poor heart it would “Cramp”
Never will I grieve any more
They don’t play a square game
What’s the use to try to figure ’em out
‘Cause the answer’s still the same
