That Ain't A Woman's Way

(album: They're Stepping All Over My Heart - 1971)

I sat alone at home all weekend waiting for you to call
But the phone didn't ring and the door didn't knock
And I sat there talking to the wall
Then today when you did come around
It didn't mean nothing to you
You say in your heart you know you love me
And I oughta know it too

But that ain't a woman's way, baby
That ain't a woman's way
A woman has to know she's loved
And needed every day
All you wanna do is tease me
All you wanna do is play
Breaking up making up staying
All shaken up that ain't a woman's way
No that ain't a woman's way

Just today I begged you, please
Let's have a little talk about us
But you said no that you had to go
And we ended up having a fuss
If I asked you to give me a ring
You probably would on the phone
Sometimes I can't help but think
I'd be better off alone

But that ain't a woman's way, baby
That ain't a woman's way
A woman has to know she's loved
And needed every day
All you wanna do is tease me
All you wanna do is play
Breaking up making up staying
All shaken up that ain't a woman's way
No that ain't a woman's way
