No Choice in the Matter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 hit close to home 'Cause the woman who left him I've taken for my own [Chorus] Love leaves you no choice in the matter There ain't a damn thing sadder Than a man in the throes of something real The woman who lays down beside you She can't help or hide you It don't matter how she wants to feel [Verse 2] So I bought him a round two, gave him a talking-to I 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 You yourself don't know who you are [Chorus] Love leaves you no choice in the matter There ain't a damn thing sadder Than a man in the throes of something real The woman who lays down beside you She can't help or hide you Don't matter how she wants to feel [Bridge] My hands, they used to be a young man's hands But I worked 'em to the bone, for the woman Where'd she even find the time to get to know another man? "Leave me alone," he said, "leave me alone" [Chorus] 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 the woman who lays down beside you She can't help, she can't hide you Don't matter how she wants to feel [Refrain] Oh no, no matter how she wants to feel
