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.
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?
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?
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
