Oh baby, as the bitter tears fall from your eyes
Oh, a thousand times you ask yourself why,
The one guy you loved has departed
Oh, you're left alone and brokenhearted,
Oooh, love just comes and it goes
How long it's gonna' last, said nobody knows

Uh-huh, that's the way, love is baby
(That's the way love is,
Sho' 'nuff how it is)
Oh, that's the way, love is sugar
(That's the way love is,
Sho' 'nuff how it is)
That's how it is
Oh, that's how it is baby

I know you walkin' down a lonesome road
And your heart is carryin' a heavy load,
I know you feel like you ain't got a friend
(Ain't got a friend)
Oh, and your whole world is cavin' in
(Cavin' in)
Now it's time to be strong
(To be strong)
You've gotta' forget him
Now that's he's gone

Just remember, that's the way, love is baby
(That's the way love is,
Sho' 'nuff how it is)
Uh-huh, that's the way, love is honey
(That's the way love is,
Sho' 'nuff how it is)
That's how it is
Oh, that's how it is baby

The road of love is rough sometimes
Don't let it get the best of you,
See I've been hurt
(Been hurt)
So many times
So I know just what you're goin through,
You wish that you never born
You've got to forget him,
Now that he's gone

Saying That's the way, love is baby
(That's the way love is,
Sho' 'nuff how it is)
Oh, that's the way, love is honey
(That's the way love is
Sho' 'nuff 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,
Sho' 'nuff how it is)
All of your joys
Turn to sorrows
That's the way love is,
Sho' 'nuff how it is
One day gladness,
And the next day sadness
That's the way love is,
Sho' 'nuff how it is
Oh, that's the way
