Love Don't Work That Way

I've got a friend all caught up in keepin' up with Mr. Jones

So high up that ladder he can't see

His wife left him three weeks ago, he don't even know she's gone

Hey, buddy, if you're askin' me

Love don't work, love don't work that way

It's a two heart assembly line workin' nights and overtime day after day

Code-a-phone apologies can't fill a woman's needs

Can't take a lover's place

Love don't work, love won't work that way

I used to work eight hour weeks, trying to buy the best for her

Workin' my life, workin' her love away

But she met me at the door one night and threw my heart a curve

All she had to say

Love don't work, love won't work that way

It's a two heart assembly line workin' nights and overtime day after day

Code-a-phone apologies can't fill a woman's needs

Can't take a lover's place

Love don't work, love don't work that way

It's a two heart assembly line workin' nights and overtime day after day

Code-a-phone apologies can't fill a woman's needs

Can't take a lover's place

Love don't work, love don't work that way

Love don't work that way

Love don't work that way

Love don't work that way
