Ain't No Way 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
I know that a woman's duty is to help and love a man
And that's the way it was for them
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
It ain't no way
It just ain't no way, baby
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
How cold and cruel is a man
Who payed too much for what he got?
And if you need me to love you, then say, say you do
Oh, then baby, baby, baby
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
No way, if you won't let me
Ain't no way
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
And that's the way it was for them
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 just ain't no way, baby
Ain't no way, baby
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
How cold and cruel is a man
Who payed too much for what he got?
And if you need me to love you, then say, say you do
Oh, then baby, baby, baby
Don't you know that I need you?
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

I've spent years thinking about "How cold and Cruel..." and how this fits in. Lots to think about.
BTW that is Aretha's sister Carolyn Franklin singing the high falsetto vocals in the background. It makes my socks roll up and down and gives me chills to hear her.
Carolyn Franklin was the composer. Erma Franklin and Cissy Houston performed the back ground vocals. Ms. Houston performed the Soprano dramatic backgrounds.

"And that's the way it was for them" should read "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 have If you're tying both of my hands"
beautifully heartbreaking.
This song makes you think about past loves whom you were absolutely wild about. You probably were willing to compromise yourself just to win their love. But they couldn't be bothered. So really there AIn't No Way for them to love you, because they don't want your love.
