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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
That's the way love is, baby [or honey, or other endearing term]
|
(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...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Instrumental]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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)...and fade
|
