"That's The Way Love Is" lyrics

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...
[repeat till fade]
