Ah baby 

After many tears fall from your eyes 

A thousand times you ask yourself why 

The one guy you love has departed 

You're left alone and broken-hearted 

Love just comes and goes 

How long it's gonna last nobody knows 

CHORUS: 

That's the way love is, baby (or honey, or other endearing term) 

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 

That's the way love is, baby 

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 

That's how it 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 (ain't got a friend) 

And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in) 

Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong) 

You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone) 

Remember... 

(chorus) 

(instrumental) 

Listen to me, little darlin' 

The road of love is rough sometimes 

But don't let it get the best of you 

I've been hurt by love so many times 

I know just what you're goin' through 

You wish you were never born 

You better forget him now that he's gone 

(chorus) 

Wipe away your tears 

Love is here today and gone tomorrow 

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 

All your joys turn to sorrow 

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 

One day gladness, and the next day sadness 

(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 

...and fade
