It Ain’t Like That Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you reach the top of the ladder
Of success, I became second best
Thought you were high society
And you just as soon get rid of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Told me not to be hanging around
And now that you miss my lovin', you found (Found out)
I can't be replaced (Found out)
The love I gave you cannot be erased (Found out)

[Chorus]
Now, what you say, boy? (What you say, what you say?)
You say you want me back
Well, uh-uh
It ain't like that (No no no no)
No no, it ain't like that (No no no)
Can't be, can't be like that (No no no no)
No no, it ain't like that

[Verse 2]
Well, I sacrificed all I had
To stick by you when times were bad
Then you walked away with your head up high
And left me standing there to cry

[Pre-Chorus]
Told me I was just one of your stepping stones
And now that you find yourself alone (Alone)
You need my affection (Alone)
The arms that gave you protection

[Chorus]
Now you're sneaking around my door (Sneaking 'round, sneaking 'round)
Like an alleycat
Well, uh-uh
It ain't like that (No no no no)
Uh-uh, it ain't like that (No no no)

[Bridge]
(Ain't it funny?)
Funny how the things you do
(Ain't it true?)
Find a way of gettin' back to you
Said you didn't (Didn't)
Need me, no honey (Need me, no honey)
But ooh, baby, look at you now

[Verse 3]
Now you must live a life that you chose
Sorry baby, but that's how it goes

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't make you see our love was
The greatest gift of all
Without love to hold you up
You're bound to fall (You'll fall)
Into emptiness (You'll fall)
A world where's (You'll fall)
No tenderness (You'll fall)

[Chorus]
Now you say you found out (You found out, you found out)
Just where it's at
But, uh-uh
It ain't like that (No no no no)
No baby, it ain't like that (No no no)
Can't be, can't be like that (No no no no)
Uh-uh, it ain't like that
No no, baby (No no no)
It ain't like that (No no no no)
Can't be, can't be like that (It ain't like that)
No baby (No no no)
It ain't like that
