Ain’t no (Bb)way
for me to (C7)love
you
(Abmaj7)if you won’t
let me.
It ain’t no (Bb)way
for me to give (C7)you all you need
if (F9)you won’t let me give all
of me.
I know that a (Bb)wom an’s du ty
is to help
and love a man.
And that’s the (Ab)way
it was (Eb)planned.
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I
give you all the (C7)things I can
(F)if you’re (F7)ty ing both
of my (Ab6)hands?
Oh,
it ain’t no (Eb)way.
(Ain’t no way.)
It ain’t no way.
(Ain’t no way.)
It just ain’t no way, ba by.
(Ain’t no way.)
Ain’t no way, ba
by.
(Ain’t no way.)
It ain’t (Bbm)no way
for me to love you
if you (Abmaj7)won’t
(Eb)let me.
Stop try’n’ to (Bb)be
some one you’re not.
How cold and cruel is a man
who paid too much for what he got?
And if you (Bb)need me
like you say,
say (Cm)you do,
oh, then (F9)please,
please,
please;
don’t you know that (Ab)I
need
(Bb7)you?
Oh.
Ain’t no way.
I tell you that it (Eb7)ain’t no way, it ain’t no way, it ain’t no way, ba by.
Just ain’t no way,
it sure ain’t no way.
It ain’t no (Bbm)way
for me to love
you
if (Abmaj7)you won’t
(Ebmaj7)let me.
(Ebmaj7)let me.
