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 mans duty is to have and love a woman
   And that's the way it was planned
   Oh 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, just ain't no way, ain't no way baby
   It ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me
  
   Stop trying to be someone you're not
   The hard cold truth is, woman, you paid too much for what you got
   and if you need me, baby, say, say you do,
   Baby, I , 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, baby, baby, baby
   Just ain't no way, sure ain't no way
   It ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me
