Lyrics

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  
  
[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  
  
[Chorus]
