Lyrics:

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...

(Ooh-whoo...)
I know that a woman's duty is to help and love the man,
And that's the way it was planned...

(Ooh-whoo...)
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?

Oh-ho, 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 you me to love you, (hoo...) if you won't let me...

Stop tryin' 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 yeah, you do,
Oh, then, baby, baby, baby, don't you know that I need you?
Oh, it ain't no way... (Ooh-whoo...)
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 sho' ain't no way...
It ain't no way for me to love you,
If you won't let me... (Ooh-whoo...)
Ain't no way, if you won't let me...
There's no way...
