Ah, ah, ah

Things just ain't the way that they used to be

Back in the day when a man meant security

He'd be working hard all week

Baby kick back and throw up your feet

Let me fix you a treat

So it might be love and sweet



But he's worth it

He deserves it

May not be perfect

But he's all the man I need

He's ready and willing

Gives me the feeling, ah

And whenever we're together

I know where I belong



[chorus:]

It's just the way he looks into your eyes

Love that man

It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize

Love that man

It's the time he takes to show you that he cares

And he's always there (He's always always there)

Don't you love that man (I know)



Things they ain't the way they used to be

When a woman and a man work hard to be

Happy in love and stand together ooh

(Let's stay that way forever)



Never give in to a fight

Just trying work it out

Never give up on him

That's not what love's about

Stay true to your feelings

And remember

All the things he's done for you



[Repeat Chorus]



You'd better know I'm talking about that old-school love

That everlasting feeling can never be too much

Somebody loves you heart and soul

Hold on, don't stop

And never let him go



[Repeat Chorus]
