No Choice in the Matter
We'll say a friend of mine, a fella I know real well
Came to me on Friday, he had a story to tell
I've heard it a thousand times, but this one hits close to home
'Cause the woman that left him, I've taken for my own
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder than a man in the throes of something real
And a woman that lays down beside you, she can't help or hide you
Don't matter how she wants to feel
So I bought him a round or two, and gave him a talking to
Said, "Boy, you can't let yourself get so far"
But you can't tell a man a thing, he's picking out diamond rings
And you yourself don't know who you are
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throes of something real
And a woman that lays down beside you, she can't help or hide you
Don't matter how she wants to feel
My hands, they used to be a young man's hands
But I worked 'em to the bone for one woman
When she even find the time to get to know another man
"Leave me alone", he'll say, "Leave me alone"
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throes of something real
And ahe woman that lays down beside you, she can't help, she can't hide you
Don't matter how she wants to feel, oh-oh-oh
It don't matter how she wants to feel
Came to me on Friday, he had a story to tell
I've heard it a thousand times, but this one hits close to home
'Cause the woman that left him, I've taken for my own
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder than a man in the throes of something real
And a woman that lays down beside you, she can't help or hide you
Don't matter how she wants to feel
So I bought him a round or two, and gave him a talking to
Said, "Boy, you can't let yourself get so far"
But you can't tell a man a thing, he's picking out diamond rings
And you yourself don't know who you are
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throes of something real
And a woman that lays down beside you, she can't help or hide you
Don't matter how she wants to feel
My hands, they used to be a young man's hands
But I worked 'em to the bone for one woman
When she even find the time to get to know another man
"Leave me alone", he'll say, "Leave me alone"
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throes of something real
And ahe woman that lays down beside you, she can't help, she can't hide you
Don't matter how she wants to feel, oh-oh-oh
It don't matter how she wants to feel
