I tell you that it ain't no way
(Ain't no way)
It ain't no way for me to love you
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I
Stop trying to be someone you're not
(Ain't no way)
No way, if you won't let me
It ain't no way
Hard, cold and cruel is a man
It ain't no way for me to love you
Say, say, yeah, you do
And if you need me to love you
If you won't let me
(Ain't no way)
It just ain't no way, baby
Oh, it ain't no way
Oh, it ain't no way
I know that a woman's duty
Is to help and love a man
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
Give you all the things I can
If you won't let me
It just ain't no way, it sure ain't no way
(Ain't no way)
If you won't let me give all of me
It ain't no way, it ain't no way, baby, no
Who payed too much for what he got
If you're tying both of my hands
Oh then, baby, baby, don't you know that I need you
Ain't no way, baby
And that's the way it was for me
