Aretha Franklin Ain't No Way Lyrics

(Aretha Franklin, Carolyn Franklin)

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 her man,
And that's the way it was the plan.

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),
Ain't no way (ain't no way),
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.
Hard, 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,
It sure ain't no way,
It just ain't no way,
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me...

(Ad lib to fade)
