Two people take a vow to be together
And live and love each other forever
They promise to love a lifetime
Funny thing, then they change their minds

They both go their separate ways
And love is just a memory
But a young heart doesn't stay sad long
Another love soon comes along

That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is

Two people don't get along
Deep down in both have feelings very strong
They try hard to conceal it their hearts burn
'Cause they both know they can feel it

That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is

Lovers leave without reason
Feelings change just like seasons
Love, nothing's for certain
There's no use in pretending
What's behind the curtain

That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love

That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love
That's the way love

Sometimes it's so fast
With the feelings more like that
That's the way love is

Sometimes it's gratifying
Love's feeling ain't no denying
But that's the way love is

It's hard to believe
Even stranger too conceive
But that's the way love is

I'm singing about love
I'm singing about love
That's the way love is
That's the way love is

That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is

I'm singing about love
I'm singing about love
Love, love, see no one
No one really knows

That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
