That's the Way Love Is

Barrett Strong, Norman Whitfield

Ah baby
As the bitter tears fall from your eyes, oh
A thousand times you ask yourself why
The one guy you love has departed, oh
You're left alone and broken-hearted, woo
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, show love how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is, sugar, oh yeah
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
Oh, that's how it is
Oh, that's how it is, my little darling

Yeah, now
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
Oh, and your whole world's cavin' in
Ah, but now is the time to be strong
You gotta forget him now that he's gone
And remember

That's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is, baby, oh yeah
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
Oh, that's how it is
Oh, oh, my little darling
Oh baby, woo

Oh, listen to me, little darling
The road of love gets rough sometimes
Don't let it get the best of you
Said, I've been hurt by love so many times
So I know just what you're goin' through
Oh, you wish that you were never born
You gotta forget him now that he's gone
Just remember

That's the way love is, baby, oh
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is, honey, yeah
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
Woo, that's how it is

Wipe away your tears
Love is here today and gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
I said, all of your joys turn to sorrow
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
Oh, one day gladness, and the next day sadness
(That's the way love is, show love how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is, baby
