The Commitments

That's The Way Love Is

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...
