I Don’t Have Any Love Around Merle Haggard

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
