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
