Couplet 1

No sign of improving
We're like a song that just ain't grooving
Oh, the harder we try
The more it seems that it's just not right

Refrein

Ooh baby, this ain't gonna work
Baby baby, this ain't gonna work
Ooh baby, this ain't gonna work
Baby baby, this ain't gonna work

Couplet 2

Girl we've got to make some changes
We share the same bed, but we're living like strangers
Oh, it's sure we get by
But if it ain't true, then we're livin', we're livin' a lie girl

Refrein

Ooh baby, this ain't gonna work
Baby baby, this ain't gonna work
Ooh ooh ooh baby, this ain't gonna work
Baby baby, this ain't gonna work

Bridge

Oh, if it's up to you and me then why aren't we dancing
Oh, I wish the powers that be would in our way
But that ain't like it is today

Oh, and I'm really trying to feel you girl
Yeah, I really wanna want you baby
I'm not trying to leave you girl
But how am I gonna stay when

Refrein

Ooh baby, this ain't gonna work(no it ain't)
Baby baby, this ain't gonna work
Ooh ooh ooh baby, this ain't gonna work
Baby baby, this ain't gonna work
