That’s The Way Love Is

[Verse 1]
As the bitter tears fall from your eyes
A thousand times you ask yourself why
The one guy you loved has departed
And you're left alone and brokenhearted
Woah oh, love just comes and goes
How long it's gonna last, nobody knows

[Chorus]
'Cause that's the way love is
Oh, that's the way love is

[Verse 2]
I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road
And your heart's 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's the time to be strong
You've gotta forget him now that's he's gone

[Chorus]
And just remember, that's the way love is
Woah oh oh, that's the way love is
Won't you listen to me

[Verse 3]
Love can be a hurting thing (Tell, tell the truth)
Or it can be warm as warm as a breath of spring (Tell, tell the truth)
When love is present everything is alright (Tell, tell the truth)
But when it's gone, you toss and turn all night (Tell, tell the truth)
Listen to me, now
The road 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've gotta forget him now that he's gone

[Chorus]
And remember
That's the way love is
Oh, that's the way love is

[Outro]
Oh (That's the way love is)
(Sure enough how it is) Oh yes it is
(That's the way love is) Woah
(Sure enough how it is) Love is
(That's the way love is) Here today
(Sure enough how it is) Gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is) All your joys
(Sure enough how it is) Turn to sorrow
(That's the way love is) First day gladness
(Sure enough how it is) Next day
