Marvin Gaye - That's The Way Love Is Lyrics

Oh baby, as the bitter tears fall from your eyes
Oh, a thousand times you ask yourself why
The one guy you love has departed
Oh, you're left alone and broken-hearted

Love just comes and it goes
How long it's gonna last
That nobody knows

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)
Oh yeah, oh, that's how it is
Oh, that's how it is my little darling

Yeah and I, 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

Oh, but now is the time to be strong
You better forget him now that he's gone
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, baby
(That's the way love is, sho' nuff, how it is)
Oh yeah, oh, that's how it is
Oh oh, my little darling, oh baby

Oh, listen to me little darlin'
The road of love gets rough sometime
Don't let it get the best of you
Said, ‽I've been hurt by love so many times
So I know just what you're goin' through”

Oh, you wish you were never born
You better forget him now that he's gone
Just remember

That's the way love is, baby ooh
(That's the way love is, sho' nuff, how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is, honey, yeah
(That's the way love is, sho' nuff, how it is)
Ooh, that's how it is

Wipe away your tears
Love is here today and gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
I say, ‽All of your joys turn to sorrow”
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
Oh, one day gladness, and the next day sadness
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is baby
