RECORDED BY KITTY WELLS
I sat alone at home all weekend waitin' for you to call
But the phone didn't ring and the door didn't knock
and I sat there talkin' to the wall
Then today when you did come around it didn't mean nothing to you
You say in your heart you know you love me and I oughta know it too
But that ain't a woman's way baby that ain't a woman's way
A woman has to know she's loved and needed every day
All you wanna do is tease me all you wanna do is play
Breakin' up makin' up stayin' all shakin' up that ain't a woman's way
No that ain't a woman's way
Just today I begged you please let's have a little talk about us
But you said no that you had to go and we ended up having a fuss
If I asked you to give me a ring you probably would on the phone
Sometimes I can't help but think I'd be better off alone
That ain't a woman's way baby...
