(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
(Feel like you ain't got a friend)
One day gladness and the next day sadness
(Been hurt by love so many times)
So I know just what you're goin' through
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
Oh, you're left alone and brokenhearted
Oh oh, my little darlin'
The road of love gets rough sometimes
That's the way, love is baby
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
So wipe away your tears
(Whole world is cavin' in)
I say all of your joys turn to sorrows
That's how it is
The one guy you loved has departed
Oh but now is the time to be strong
Yeah now, I know you walkin' down a lonesome road
You've got to forget him, now that he's gone
Just remember
How long it's gonna' last
And remember, that's the way, love is honey
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
Oh baby
You've gotta' forget him now that he's gone
Oh, listen to me little darlin'
Don't let it get the best of you
(Know just what you're goin' through)
(Forget him, now that he's gone)
Oh, and your whole world is cavin' in
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
(Now is the time to be strong)
I know you feel like you ain't got a friend
That's how it is
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
That's the way, love is baby
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
That's how it is
And your heart is carryin' a heavy load
You wish that you were never born
Said I've been hurt by love so many times
That's the way, love is baby
Said nobody knows
(That's the way love is, sho' 'nuff how it is)
Oh, that's how it is my little darlin'
Love just comes and it goes
(Wish that you were never born)
Love is here today, and gone tomorrow
Oh, that's the way, love is honey
(Forget him now that he's gone)
Oh, that's the way, love is sugar
