THAT'S THE WAY LOVE IS |

|
Ah baby |
|
After many tears fall from your eyes |
|
A thousand times you ask yourself why |
|
The one guy you love has departed |
|
You're left alone and broken-hearted |
|
Love just comes and goes |
|
How long it's gonna last nobody knows |
|
CHORUS: |
|
That's the way love is, baby (or honey, or other endearing term) |
|
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) |
|
That's the way love is, baby |
|
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) |
|
That's how it is |
|
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 (ain't got a friend) |
|
And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in) |
|
Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong) |
|
You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone) |
|
Remember... |
|
(chorus) |
|
(instrumental) |
|
Listen to me, little darlin' |
|
The road of love is rough sometimes |
|
But don't let it get the best of you |
|
I've been hurt by love so many times |
|
I know just what you're goin' through |
|
You wish you were never born |
|
You better forget him now that he's gone |
|
(chorus) |
|
Wipe away your tears |
|
Love is here today and gone tomorrow |
|
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) |
|
All your joys turn to sorrow |
|
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) |
|
One day gladness, and the next day sadness |
|
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) |
|
...and fade |
