Lyrics:

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

Girl, that's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is, That's the way love is)

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
Oh, and your whole world's cavin' in
But now, it's time to be strong
You've gotta forget him now that's he's gone

And just remember, that's the way, love is (that's the way love is)

Love can be a hurting thing
Or it can be warm like a breath of sprine
When love is present everything's all right
But when it's gone, you toss and turn all night

Now, listen girl

Oh, I know love gets rough sometimes
But let it get the best of you
Girl, I've been hurt by love, yeah, yes I have
So I know just what you're goin' through
Oh, you wish that you were never born
Oh You'll forget him one that he's gone

And just remember
That's the way love is
That's the way (That's the way love is)
Oh, that's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is)

Love is here today and gone tomorrow
All your joy turns to sorrow
One day gladness - the next day sadness
(That's the way love is)
