The Isley Brothers - That's The Way Love Is 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 alright 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)
