Love Don't Work That Way

There's no need to put me through the things you put me through
First you entertain then you're inhumane
I don't like this pain you hurt me hurt me
Love don't work that way come on girl Love don't work that way
Got the devil moon in our bedroom
Makes me close the shades Makes you turn your back
And then you fade away
Next you're on the ground tryin' to break me down
Round and round and round and round and round You hurt me hurt me
Love don't work that way come on girl Love don't work that way
Last night on the telephone line
You weren't my baby or no friend of mine
You were somebody different that I don't care to know
I'm outta here Love Don't Work That Way
