Aretha Franklin | Lyrics | Ain't No Way

Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
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 a man
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?

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 paid too much for what he got?
And if you need me like you say, say you do
Oh then please, please, please don't you know that I need you?

Oh, 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 sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
Ain't no way if you won't let me
