Whitney Houston has performed "Ain't No Way" in concert several times, including as a duet with Mary J. Blige at "Divas Live/99." Their performance was later released on CD and DVD.
Ain't no way
For me to love you
If you won't let me
Ain't no way
For me to give you all you need
If you won't let me
Give all of me
I know that a woman's duty
Is to have and love a man
And that's the way
It was planned
How can I, how can I, how can I
Give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands
Oh, there ain't no way (Ain't no way)
There ain't no way (Ain't no way)
Just ain't no way baby (Ain't no way)
Ain't no way baby (Ain't no way)
There ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
Stop tryin' to be
Someone you're not
Hard, cold and cruel is a man
Who paid too much for what he's got
And if you need me
Then say you do
'Cause if you need me
Don't you know that I need you
