Gaye Marvin That S The Way Love Is lyrics

(Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong)

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
