This is the way baby This is the way This is the way baby This is the way You got to question your situation He's taking advantage of you You're such a pushover He's rolling you over And all that you ask him to do So stand up for yourself And get what you deserve And I will give it to you my love I will never leave 'Cause you're the air I breathe And you're the heaven high up above And this is the way That a man loves his lady He does what he can And he never tells her "maybe" The world is still turning But you are not learning You're letting him take what he wants You give him your loving Your kissing and hugging But then he goes back where he wants And you know that it's true It's all because of you And now you got to take back your love Open up to me I will make you see What I have is more than enough And this is the way That a man loves his lady He does what he can And he never tells her "maybe" I swear to you I will never let you down I care about you from the inside to the out Let the jokers learn a lesson that is true: It's only me and you from now on And this is the way That a man loves his lady He does what he can And he never tells her "maybe"
