Love Don't Work That Way

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] Love don't work that way[x3]
