Gary Morris - Love Don't Work That Way lyrics

Love Don't Work That Way

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
