THAT'S THE WAY LOVE IS<br />

WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD<br />

BARRETT STRONG<br />

<br />

Ah baby<br />

After many tears fall from your eyes<br />

A thousand times you ask yourself why<br />

The one guy you love has departed<br />

You're left alone and broken-hearted<br />

Love just comes and goes<br />

How long it's gonna last nobody knows<br />

CHORUS:<br />

That's the way love is, baby [or honey, or other endearing term]<br />

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)<br />

That's the way love is, baby<br />

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)<br />

That's how it is<br />

I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road<br />

And your heart is carryin' a heavy load<br />

I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (ain't got a friend)<br />

And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in)<br />

Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong)<br />

You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone)<br />

Remember...<br />

(chorus)<br />

(instrumental)<br />

Listen to me, little darlin'<br />

The road of love is rough sometimes<br />

But don't let it get the best of you<br />

I've been hurt by love so many times<br />

I know just what you're goin' through<br />

You wish you were never born<br />

You better forget him now that he's gone<br />

(chorus)<br />

Wipe away your tears<br />

Love is here today and gone tomorrow<br />

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)<br />

All your joys turn to sorrow<br />

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)<br />

One day gladness, and the next day sadness<br />

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)<br />

...and fade
