Lyrics

[Intro]
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
That's the way love goes
[Intro]
That's the way love
That's the way love
[Intro]
That's the way love goes
[Intro]
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
That's the way
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
That's the way
[Intro]
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
That's the way
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
That's the way love goes
[Intro]
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
[Intro]
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way love goes
[Verse 1]
Come with me, don't you worry
I'm gonna make you crazy
I'll give you the time of your life
I'm gonna take you places
You've never been before and
You'll be so happy that you came
Ooh, I'm gonna take you there
Ooh
[Chorus]
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
Desire
That's the way
That's the way love goes
Desire
That's the way
That's the way love goes
[Verse 2]
Don't mind if I light candles
I like to watch us playing
Baby, I've got on what you like
Come closer, baby, closer
Reach out and feel my body
I'm gonna give you all my love
That's the way love goes
Oh, sugar, don't you hurry
You've got me here all night
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
That's the way, that's the way
Oh, baby, don't stop, don't stop
Go deeper, baby, deeper
You feel so good, I'm gonna cry
Oh, I'm gonna take you there
Ooh
[Chorus]
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes, it goes and goes (That's the way love goes)
Mmm, that's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
Don't you know? Oh (That's the way)
[Refrain]
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
[Refrain]
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
[Bridge]
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way love goes
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way love goes, it goes, it goes
That's the way love goes
[Chorus]
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
[Chorus]
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love goes
