Love Don’t Work That Way

[Verse 1]
I've got a friend all caught up in keeping 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 asking me

[Chorus]
Love don't work, love don't work that way
It's a two heart assembly line, working 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 eighty hour weeks, trying to buy the best for her
Working my life, working her love away
But she met me at the door one night and threw my heart a curve
All she had to say

[Chorus]
Love don't work, love don't work that way
It's a two heart assembly line, working 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

[Refrain]
It's a two heart assembly line working 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
Love don't work that way
Love don't work that way
