After bitter tears have fall form your eyes

1000 times you ask yourself why

The one guy you love have departed

And now you're left alone and broken hearted

Love it comes and it goes

How long it's gonna last nobody knows

That's the way love is, baby

(That's the way love is)

That's the way love is, sugar

(That's the way love is)

That's how it is

I know you're waling down a lonesome road

And you're heart is carrying a heavy load

You feel like you ain't got a friend

And your whole world is caving in

A 1000 times you've been told

You better forget him now that his gone

Don't you know baby

That's the way love is, honey

(That's the way love is)

That's the way love is, baby

(That's the way love is)

That's how it is

That's how it is

Let me tell you

The road to love is rough sometimes

Don't let it get the best of you

I've been hurt by a love so many times

So I know what you're going through

You wish that you were never born

You better forget him now that he's gone

Don't you know baby

That's the way love is, baby

(That's the way love is)

That's the way love is, honey

(That's the way love is)

That's how it is

That's how it is
