Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
Said it ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me
[Verse 2]
I know that a woman's duty
Is to help and love her man
Love her man
And that's the way it was planned
That's the way
Oh
[Verse 3]
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I, how can I
Give you everything you need
When it's tyin' both, both of my hands?
Oh, it ain't no way (Ain't no way)
I said it ain't no way, no (Ain't no way)
It just ain't no way, no, no, no, no (Ain't no way)
Sure ain't no way
Ain't no way for me to love you (Ain't no way)
If you won't let me
[Verse 4]
I want you to stop tryin' to be someone you're not
Hard, cold, and cruel is a man (Sing it, baby)
Who paid too much for what he got
And if you need me to love you
Say, say, yeah, you do
Because I'll be waitin' (Say you do)
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
Don't you know that I need you? (I need you)
[Verse 5]
Oh, it ain't no way (Ain't no way)
Ain't no way, no, it sure ain't no way, no (Ain't no way)
(Ain't no way) I'm tellin' you it, it ain't no way
It ain't no way (Ain't no way) for me to love you back
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you won't let me, let me love you
If you won't let me, let me hold you
Oh, you're tyin' both of my hands (Just ain't no way)
Just give me a chance, baby, baby
Said there ain't, ain't no way, ain't no way
(Just ain't no way) ain't no good to you
Yes, but you're givin' me nothin', c'mon, nothin'
No (Just ain't no way) no way, no way, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
