Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me
I know that a woman's duty
Is to help and love the man
And that's the way it was planned

But how can I, how can I, how can I
Give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands

It ain't no way
It ain't no way
It just ain't no way baby
Ain't no way baby
It ain't no way
For you me to love you
If you won't let me

Stop trying to be someone you're not
Hard cold and cruel is a man
Who paid too much for what he got

And if you need me to love you
Say, say, you do
Oh my baby, baby, baby
Don't you know that I need you

It ain't no way
I tell you that it ain't no way
It ain't no way, it ain't no way baby, no
It just ain't no way, it show ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
