That's The Way Love Is
Marvin Gaye Song Lyrics
Written by: Norman Whitfield Barrett Strong Performed by: Marvin Gaye 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 |
