LOVE WITH NO STORY by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2026

[Verse 1 - melodic, rhythmic, flowing]

Thousands of hot lips and hearts flood his page

“I adore you,” “I love you”—every comment sounds the same

She knows the watch he’s wearing, every place he’s been

Tracks every update—but has she ever really known him

A stranger writes back wearing his name

Swears he’s the real one, and she believes his claim

[Pre-Chorus1 - melodic, rhythmic, flowing, build crescendo]

Thousands of hot lips and hearts

Floating up a screen

What could any of them mean

It’s still all make-believe...

[Chorus1 - melodic, rhythmic, flowing, crescendo]]

That’s heartless love, all chatter and glow

A crass confession to a man she doesn’t know

It shouts on the screen, then fades away by dawn

Heartless love may have words

But hollow at the core

It doesn’t even know the score

That’s why love with no story

Is no love at all

It’s just love with no story

[Verse 2 - melodic, rhythmic, flowing]

Maybe it’s the famous face, maybe it’s the gold

Maybe it’s the thought that his smile is hers alone

She sends another “love you” where everybody sees

Then checks to see if he replied, still waiting to be seen

Another “It’s really me” lights up her screen

Desperate for him to be the man of her dreams

[Pre-Chorus2 - melodic, rhythmic, flowing, build crescendo]

But love is more than wanting

Someone’s light to shine on you

It’s what you give in silence

When there’s nothing left to prove...

[Chorus2 - melodic, rhythmic, flowing, build crescendo]

That’s heartless love, all chatter and glow

A crass confession to a man she doesn’t know

It shouts on the screen, then fades away by dawn

Heartless love may have words

But hollow at the core

It doesn’t even know the score

That’s why love with no story

Is no love at all

It’s just  love with no story

Nothing at all...

Nothing at all...

All......  

[Bridge - strong, emotional, powerful power crescendo]

I don’t need to fill his page or claim to have his heart

Or dress a passing fantasy up as a work of art

I write my truth and let the music speak

He’s a real person, not a cheap dream on a screen

No answer owed, no sign to find

Just honest feeling, with no claim on his time

[Final Chorus - power crescendo]

Heartfelt love needs no chatter or show

It lives in the moments only two people know

Love is in the staying when the spectacle is gone

Heartless love knows the words

True love knows the song

That’s why love with no story

Is no love at all

It’s just love with no story

Nothing at all

[Outro - power crescendo]

No fake hot lips, no fake “I love yous”

No vows I can’t defend

Just my own heart, honest and true

Just who I am—no need to pretend

Just my story, all my own...

Ooh...

Love is my story, all my own...
