1. Ain't no way for me to love you.
If you won't let me, no, no.
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me.

2. I know that a women's duty
is to help and love a man
And that's the way it was planned
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I
Give you all of the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands?

R: Oh, it ain't no way (Ain't no way)
It ain't no way (Ain't no way)
It just ain't no way, baby (Ain't no way)
Ain't no way, baby (Ain't no way)
It ain't no way for me to love you
if you won't let me.

*: Stop trying to be someone you're not
how cold and cruel is a man
Who payed to much for what he got?
And if you need me to love you, say, say, say you do
Oh, then baby, baby, baby
Don't you know that I need you?

R: Oh, it ain't no way (ain't no way)
I'll tell you that it ain't no way (ain't no way)
It just ain't no way baby (ain't no way)
It sure ain't no way (ain't no way)
It ain't no way for me to love you
if you won't let me
