| As the bitter tears fall from your eyes
|
| Oh, a thousand times you ask yourself why
|
| The one guy you loved has departed
|
| And you’re left alone and brokenhearted
|
| Oh, love just comes and it goes
|
| How long it’s gonna last, nobody knows
|
| Girl, that’s the way love is, baby
|
| Oh, that’s the way love 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
|
| And your whole world’s cavin' in
|
| Won’t you listen to me, now it’s time to be strong
|
| You’ve gotta forget him now that he’s gone
|
| And just remember, that’s the way love is
|
| That’s the way love is
|
| Won’t you listen to me, love can be a hurting thing
|
| And it can be as warm as a breath of spring
|
| When love is present everything’s alright
|
| But when it’s gone, you toss and turn all night
|
| Listen to me now
|
| The role of love gets rough sometimes
|
| Don’t you let it get the best of you
|
| Said, I’ve been hurt by love, oh yes I have
|
| So I know just what you’re goin' through
|
| I bet you wish that you were never born
|
| You gotta forget him now that he’s gone
|
| And remember, that’s the way love is
|
| Oh, that’s the way love is
|
| That’s the way love is… |
