I hear you in the background
Whenever I phone
Tellin' your brother
To say you're gone
You've been trippin' around uptown
Wooin' some fancy clown
Gimme that confusion
That's no solution
Breakin' up, and makin' up
When will you get enough?

That ain't the way you make love, sweet darlin'
That ain't the way you make love
When will you get enough?

Lately, I don't know
Where you're coming from
Now you're acting strange
I tell the world
You seem to change
(What's wrong with you, now mama? Tell me
What's wrong with you, girl?)
At my expense, you've been having fun
Girl, what did I say to you?
What have I done?

Oh, no
(That ain't the way you make love)
That ain't the way you make love, baby
(That ain't the way you make love)
That ain't the way you make love
When will you ever get enough?

If it's over, baby
All you've gotta do is let me know
No, no, no, no, baby
Honey I won't try to hold you
All you gotta do is
Tell me so
And I'd let you go
Cause life is too short
And we came all this way
Fussing and fighting
Night and day
Tryna be a temptress
And bein' a flame
But kind of foolin' around, mama
Is gonna get you hurt

(That ain't the way you make love)
That ain't the way to make love, babe
That ain't the way
(That ain't the way you make love)
That ain't the way to make love
Oh, baby, when will you get enough?

That ain't the way
That ain't the way
That ain't the way
The way to make love

That ain't the way
That ain't the way
That ain't the way
The way to make love

That ain't the way
That ain't the way
That ain't the way
The way to make love

That ain't the way
That ain't the way
That ain't the way
The way to make love

That ain't the way
That ain't the way
That ain't the way
The way to make love

That ain't the way
That ain't the way
That ain't the way
The way to make love
