That's the Way Love Is
Bobby Darin Lyrics
You're feeling low and oh, so small
Then suddenly you're eight feet tall
She just walked in the room
And the gloomy room just glows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
You're such a drag from nine 'til five
Then all at once you're so alive
It's just the way she winks her eye
Or wrinkles her nose
That's how it goes
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
And if you come up with the answer
You're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired but you just can't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
You come up with the answer
And you're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired you don't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes

Darin was a very special and talented entertainer.

Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were there son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

And the gloomy room just glows
