Love Don't Work That Way Lyrics

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' meLove 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 wayI 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 sayLove 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 wayIt'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 wayLove don't work that way

Love don't work that way
Love don't work that way
