"That's How It Is (When You're In Love)" lyrics

Please, somebody take your hand and slap some sense in me
And open up my eyes, I'm too blind to see
I got this woman, she's messin' my mind around
She knows that I love her, but still she tries to put me down
I know I'm just a fool, someone that she can use
But I can't help myself, yeah I can't help myself

Ooh, please don't look down on me
Because I'm weak
When you're in love, it ceases to be
I know I've been abused
Misused and confused
But that's how it is, when you're in love
Oh-oh, that's how it is baby

Now listen, baby, I know I'm just your fool
But I love you darling, and for you I'd break every rule
Now I've broken hearts before, that I didn't wanna love me
But now that I've fallen in love with you, place no one above you
The Lord knows I love you, I'm always thinkin' of ya
But I can't help myself, oh I can't help myself

Ooh, please don't look down on me
Because I'm weak
When you're in love, it ceases to be
And ooh, please don't look down on me
When you're in love, nothin' ever comes for free
I know I've been abused
Misused and confused
But that's how it is, when you're in love

That's how it is baby, listen now

And ooh, please don't look down on me
Because I'm weak. When you're in love, it ceases to be
Ooh, please don't look down on me
When you're in love, I said nothin' ever comes for free
I know I've been abused
Misused and confused
But that's how it is when you're in love
Oh-oh, oh
