I can't find no love 
No sympathy 
What kind of love 
They've got for me 

I'm on my way 
To happiness 
Where I can find 
Some peace and rest 

When I'm in troubles, yeah 
Only me only, only me me feel the pain 
No one good word of advice 
From any of my so-called friends 

I can't find no love 
No sympathy 
What kind, what kind of love 
They've got for me

I'm on my way, yes
To happiness 
Where I can find, where I can find
Some peace and rest 

Might as well, might as well 
I get out, I get out of hell
Hell could never be made for me
So I'm gonna search, search 'til I'm free 

No love, no love 
No sympathy 
What kind, what kind of love 
They've got for me 

I'm on, I'm on, I'm on my way 
To happiness 
Where I can find, where I can find
Some peace and rest 

I can't find no love 
No, no sympathy 
What kind, what kind, what kind of love 
They got, they got, they got for me 

On my way 
To happiness 
Where I can find, can find
Some peace and rest 

I can't find no love 
No sympathy 
What kind, what kind
They've got for me

They don't love themselves 
So they can't love no one else 
They don't love themselves 
So they can't love no one else 

I just can't find, find, find no love 
I can't find, fand, find no sympathy 
I can't find, can't find, can't find no love at all 
What kind of love, love, love
People got for me 

I'm searchin'
