Lyrics
Love Don't Work That Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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,
Love 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)
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
