Merle Haggard — I Dont Have Any Love Around

I'm tired of pretending and tired of defending An option to smile or to frown It's great to be single, but it's hell to be lonely I don't have any love around I try to stay sober and always be friendly Sometimes I really get down And friends try to cheer me, guess they didn't hear me I don't have any love around I don't have any love around I've tried all my life And I'm still lonely now I don't have any love around I'm not complaining, but I'm tired of explaining The tears in the eyes of a clown It's great to be single, but it's hell to be lonely I don't have any love around I don't have any love around
