Love Don't Work That Way

(album: Living In A Moment - 1996)

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

Love don't work, love won'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

I used to work eight 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

Love don't work, love won'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
