Marvin Gaye That's the Way Love Is song lyrics

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

Ooh, 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, sure enough, how it is)

Oh, that's the way love is, sugar

(Ooh, that's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)

Oh, that's how it is

Oh, that's how it is, my little darling

Yeah, now, 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 (Feel like you ain't got a friend)

Oh, and your whole world's cavin' in (Whole world is cavin' in)

Oh, but now it's time to be strong (It's time to be strong)

You've gotta forget him now that's he's gone (Now that he's gone)

And remember, that's the way, love is, honey

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

Oh, that's the way, love is, baby

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

Ah, that's how it is

Oh, oh, my little darlin'

Oh, baby, whoo

Oh, listen to me, little darlin'

The road of love gets rough sometimes

Don't let it get the best of you

Said I've been hurt by love so many times (Been hurt so many times)

So I know just what you're goin' through

Oh, you wish that you were never born

You've gotta forget him now that he's gone (Forget him now that he's gone)

Just remember that's the way love is, baby

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

Oh, that's the way love is, honey

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

I said all of your joys turn to sorrows

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