Oh 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

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, sugar, how it is)
That's the way love is, sugar
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
That's how it is
Oh, that's how it is my little darlin'

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
(Feel like you ain't got a friend)
Oh, and your whole world's cavin' in
(Whole world cavin' in)

Oh but now is the time to be strong
(Now is the time to be strong)
You gotta forget him now that he's gone
(Forget him now that he's gone)

And remember, that's the way love is honey
(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
Oh, that's how it is my little darlin'

Oh, listen to me, little darlin'

The road of love is rough sometimes
Don't let it get the best of you
Said I've been hurt by love so many times
(Been hurt by love so many times)
So I know just what you're goin' through
(Know just what you're goin' through)

You wish you were never born
(Wish you were never born)
You got to forget him now that he's gone
(Forget him now that he's gone)

Just remember
That's the way love is baby
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
That's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
That's how it is

So wipe away your tears
Love is here today and gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
I say 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)
Oh, that's the way love is baby
