That's the Way Love Is

Ah, baby

As the bitter tears fall from your eyes

Oh, a thousand times you ask yourself why

The one guy you loved has departed

Oh, you're left alone and brokenhearted

Woo, love just comes and it goes

How long it's gonna last, nobody knows, uh-uh

That's the way love is, baby (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Oh, that's the way love is, sugar (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Oh, yeah, oh, that's how it is

Whoa, that's how it is, my little darlin'

Yeah, now

I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road

And your heart is carryin' a heavy load

I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (Feel like you ain't got a friend)

Oh, and your whole world is cavin' in (Whole world cavin' in)

Ah, but now is the time to be strong (Now's the time to be strong)

You gotta forget him now that he's gone (Forget him now that he's gone)

And remember

That's the way love is, honey (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Ah, that's the way love is, baby (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Oh, Lord, uh, that's how it is, whoa

Whoa, my little darlin'

Ah, baby, woo

Uh-huh, listen to me, little darlin'

The road of love gets rough sometimes

Don't let it get the best of you

Said I been hurt by love so many times (Been hurt so many times)

So I know just what you're goin' through (Know what you're goin' through)

Ah, you wish that you were never born (You wish you were never born)

You gotta forget him now that he's gone (Forget him now that he's gone)

Just remember

That's the way love is, baby, ooh (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Oh, that's the way love is, honey, yeah (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Woo, that's how it is

So wipe away your tears

Love is here today and gone tomorrow (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Huh-uh, said all of your joys turn to sorrow (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Huh-uh, one day gladness and the next day sadness (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

Uh-uh, that's the way love is, baby
