That's The Way Love Is
Darin Bobby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Or wrinkles her nose
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
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

Line by Line Meaning
You're feeling low and oh, so small
You are in a state of sadness and insignificance
Then suddenly you're eight feet tall
But when you meet someone you love, you feel empowered and confident
She just walked in the room
Suddenly, the woman you love appears
And the gloomy room just glows
Her presence in the room transforms the atmosphere from dull to lively
That's the way love is
This is how love affects people
That's how it goes
This is just the way things happen in love
You're such a drag from nine 'til five
Your life is boring and monotonous from 9 am to 5 pm
Then all at once you're so alive
But everything changes when you are with the person you love
It's just the way she winks her eye
Even small actions from her can have a huge impact on how you feel
Or wrinkles her nose
Even a simple facial expression from her can make your heart skip a beat
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
Love is a timeless mystery that no one has fully figured out
The kind of game you just can't win
There are no guaranteed outcomes in love
And if you come up with the answer
If you do figure out the mystery of love
You're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
You are wiser than most
So when that tingle hits you deep
When you feel that intense, passionate feeling
And you're tired but you just can't sleep
Even when you're exhausted, you can't stop thinking about the one you love
Don't you take my word
Don't just believe me
Go and ask anyone who knows
Ask someone who has experienced love for themselves
That's how it goes
This is just the way things happen in love
That's how it goes
This is just the way things happen in love
