Gary Morris - Love Don't Work That Way lyrics

rate me

(Gary Morris - Eddie Setser)

He graduated at the head of his class

With the kind of ambition that moves ahead fast

He wears a three-piece suit to a two name firm

He's got a one-track mind and no time to burn.

He married the girl he dated all through school

She wants a family but it just ain't cool

'Cause if you go to work early and come home late

It takes all you got to prove you got what it takes.

Chorus:

And there's always a price for everything in life

And sometimes it's somebody else who has to pay

The future looks so bright though he ain't got time tonight

But love, love don't work that way

Love, kove don't work that way.

He makes the right parties, shakes the right hands

He's quick to say yes, he's a company man

But deals bein' made, its just part of the lie

What he takes he can justify.

Meanwhile back at the penthouse suite

A lonely woman tries but she can't go to sleep

And he'd have known if he'd bothered to call

While he was climbin' the ladder she was climbin' the wall.

Chorus:

And there's always a price for everything in life

And sometimes it's somebody else who has to pay

The future looks so bright though he ain't got time tonight

But love, love don't work that way

Love, kove don't work that way.

Sitting on an old night stand is a photograph

A wedding band, a note she wrote he never threw away

It said love, love don't work that way

It said love, love don't work that way.

Love, love don't work that way

Don't you know love, love don't work that way...
