it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love
sure I'm C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
well I'm sorry
but I'm not interested in gold mines,
oil wells, shipping, or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate
cause it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love
there is a man
a certain man
and for the poor
you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one?
who's favorite son
just by his action
has the traction magnets
on the run
who likes to smoke
enjoys a joke
and wouldn't get a bit upset
if he were really broke
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
I'll bet you five you're not alive
if you don't know his name
you said the union forever
you said the union forever
you cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love

Jack White:
"I was thinking about different things people said in the film [Citizen
Kane]. I wrote them down and some of them started to rhyme, so it worked
out."
Jack White:
"There's a song in the movie, called [It Can't Be Love, Because There Is No True Love], that
plays at this party they
have in the Everglades during
the film. I could never find what this song was about, if it was a '40s
song, some jazz standard--I could never find it. I was trying to play it
on guitar, and I said a line from the movie while I was playing the
chords. And it was like, 'I wonder if I can rhyme that with something else
from the movie?' I had a lot of the lines memorized already, and then I
went through the film and started writing down things that might rhyme
together, that might make sense together."
