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 love has departed

Oh, you're left alone and broken-hearted, ooh

Love just comes and it goes

How long it's gonna last, say, nobody knows

(chorus)

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 how it is

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

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

I know you're walking' down a lonesome road

And your heart is carrying' a heavy load'

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

Oh, and your whole world is caving' in (whole world cabin' in)

Oh, but now's the time to be strong (to be strong)

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

That's the way love is, baby, that's how it is

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

Oh, oh, my little darlin'

Oh, baby, ooh

Oh, listen to me little darlin

The road of love gets rough sometimes, don't let it get the best of you

Said, I've been hurt by love so many times

So I know just what you're goin' through

Oh, you just wish that you were never born, yo gotta forget him now that he's gone

Now remember...

That's the way love is, honey

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

That's the way love is, baby, that's how it is

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

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)

I say all of your joys turn to sorrow (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)

One day gladness, next day sadness (That's the way love is, sure enough how it is)
