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, baby
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
All your joys turn to sorrow
One day gladness, and the next day sadness
[…and fade]
