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

That's the way love is, baby

(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

That's the way love is, baby

(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

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

That's the way love is, baby

(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

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)
