That's The Way Love Is - Gladys Knight & The Pips

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

Oh, love just comes and it goes

How long it’s gonna last, nobody knows

Girl, that’s the way love is, baby

Oh, 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

And your whole world’s cavin' in

Won’t you listen to me, now it’s time to be strong

You’ve gotta forget him now that he’s gone

And just remember, that’s the way love is

That’s the way love is

Won’t you listen to me, love can be a hurting thing

And it can be as warm as a breath of spring

When love is present everything’s alright

But when it’s gone, you toss and turn all night

Listen to me now

The role of love gets rough sometimes

Don’t you let it get the best of you

Said, I’ve been hurt by love, oh yes I have

So I know just what you’re goin' through

I bet you wish that you were never born

You gotta forget him now that he’s gone

And remember, that’s the way love is

Oh, that’s the way love is

That’s the way love is…
