Huh, you know life is funny
When you look at it
Everybody wants love
But everybody's afraid of love

You know I'm a true believer that
If you get anything out of life
You've got to put up with
The toils and strife

Now listen, hoo
You're pushing my love a little bit too far
I don't think you know, I don't think you know
How blessed you are

And your friend, Annie Mae, tell you all she see
Have you ever thought
She was trying to get close to me, yeah?
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over

Look, that's the way I feel about cha
And if that's being weak for you, darling, yeah
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind

That's the way I feel about cha
That's the way I feel about cha

Please, please, please answer love
If it ever comes knocking at your door
'Cause what's out there knocking, baby
The world don't give enough of, don't give enough of

I know you've been hurt and so has others too
But all you got to do is
Ask about the changes
That life has put them through

Lord, have mercy
This is just the way it is
Listen

Don't take my love
As a sign of weakness
Check into the situation, girl
Dig a little bit deeper

That's the way I feel about cha
Oh, that's the way
That's the way I feel about cha

That's the way I feel about cha
That's the way I feel about cha
That's the way I feel about cha
That's the way I feel about cha

That's the way I feel about cha
That's the way I feel about cha
That's the way I feel about cha
