That's the Way Love Is
Bobby “Blue” Bland Lyrics

As the bitter tears fall from your eyes
You're crying because the person you love has left you.

a thousand times you ask yourself why
You're wondering why this had to happen to you.

the one guy you love has departed
The person you love has left you.

and you're left alone and broken-hearted.
You're feeling sad and lonely because the person you love has left you.

Love just comes and it goes.
Love can be unpredictable and may not last forever.

How long it's gonna last, say, nobody knows.
No one can predict how long love will last.

That's The Way Love Is, baby,
This is just how love works.

(That's The Way Love Is, sure enough how it is.)
This is how love works, no matter how much it hurts.

I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road
You feel lonely and sad.

and your heart is carryin' a heavy load.
You're carrying a lot of emotional pain.

I know you feel like you ain't got a friend
You feel like you have no one to talk to.

and your whole world is cavin' in.
Everything seems to be falling apart.

Now's the time to be strong,
You need to be strong in this difficult time.

you gotta forget him now that he's gone,
You need to let go of the person who left you.

and remember.
Remember that love can be unpredictable.

The road of love gets rough some times don't let it get the best of you.
Love can be difficult, but you should try not to let it negatively impact you too much.

Said I've been hurt by love so many times,
The singer has also experienced the pain of love.

so I know just what you're goin' through.
The singer understands the pain you're feeling.

You wish that you were never born, you gotta forget him now that he's gone,
You're feeling really sad, but you still need to let go of the person who left you.

just Remember.
Remember that love can be unpredictable.

Love is here today and gone tomorrow,
Love can come and go very quickly.

All of your joys turn to sorrow,
Things that once made you happy can now make you sad because the person you love is gone.

One day gladness next day sadness,
Your emotions can go from happy to sad very quickly because of love.

(That's The Way Love Is, sure enough how it is.)
This is just how love works, no matter how much it hurts.
