(Yuh huh) (Hey hey) Okay, this is what I say About when I was a young man Back in the day I see a young lady Thinking she was fine Then I try to step to her Just to make her mine Bet, I proceed with a plan Tellin' her how I could be her man Lookin' in her eyes While I tossed the bait But she threw it right back in my face Now I wanted this girl just to talk to me But she wouldn't even take the time to walk to me I got dissed And that made me made So I ran home just to tell my dad I had a question, for my dear father If girls treat you this bad, why bother? He said you're learnin' somethin' everyone else knows Just listen close son 'Cause that's the way love goes (Ah hah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) Now I remember When I got older The ladies got hotter And my luck got colder Girls tellin' me I won't go for that Just because Young MC was not phat Now by Phat, I don't mean overweight I mean makin' crazy dollars 'Til they come in a crate Ya see, I had myself a job I worked as hard as I could But to the young ladies It was just no goo&100 Wow, I guess you can't win for losin' Havin' bad luck with the girls you're choosin' I said to myself these dames are wack But give me some time and I'm gonna get them back But for now I manage my situation I'm pickin' my women all across the nation I'm havin' rough times with the girls I chose But I'll have to deal, because yo That's the way love goes (Yuh hah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) Break it down (BRIDGE) Alright, I went out last night Thinking about a girl that would treat me right I find myself chillin' at a discoteque And the night went better than I could expect One girl, down for the whole evenin' For when I got there to when I was leaving We went to her place and got in a cab She said she was a model I said, yo, alright We opened up a window to watch a full moon But the night was much colder than the afternoon She started to shiver So I gave her my sweater I said you alright? She said, yeah much better I held her close, she felt good in my arms And I knew this girl would do me no harm Thinkin' how the two of us could be as one Then I fell asleep before my boat was done Now I woke up, I was still in her place In the mornin' sunlight I could see her face Yo, I tried to get up, so I could start my day But I merely knocked over my breakfast tray Now this girl went and made breakfast for me When last night was the first time she saw me You win some, you lose some, I suppose Well I feel like a winner, yo 'Cause that's the way love goes (Ah hah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Ah hah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes (My my my my, that's the way love goes) That's the way love goes See ya!
