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 walking 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 fiend)
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 tough 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)
