That's the Way Love Goes lyrics

I'm sad to see you losin'

in matters of the heart.

Hey, love let you walk

and then it tore your life apart.

Well, it's the same old story,

somehow it slipped away.

Don't feel discouraged,

happens to someone every day.

So you're down and you're countin'

another broken dream, well...

(That's the way...)

That's the way love goes.

(That's the way love goes).

(That's the way...)

Sometimes you win,

but sometimes you lose, yeah.

(That's the way love goes).

(That's the way love goes).

Your heart is set on someone

but he doesn't seem to care,

so you're feelin' rejected,

well, who said love was fair?

But when you least expect it,

he'll come knockin' at your door,

makin' you realize

he wants you forevermore, baby.

Love is like a circle

that's finally come around, but...

(That's the way...)

That's the way love goes.

(That's the way love goes).

(That's the way...)

Sometimes you win,

but sometimes you gotta lose.

(That's the way love goes).

(That's the way love goes).

Leave it alone.

That's the way it goes.

(That's the way...)

That's the way love goes, yeah.

(That's the way love goes).

(That's the way...)

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

(That's the way love goes).

Sometimes you win, but...

(That's the way love goes).

...that's the way it goes.

Hey, baby.

(That's the way...)  

Sometimes you just can't win.

(That's the way love goes).  

No, you just can't love.

(That's the way, that's the way love goes).    

Yeah, you're gonna win, you're gonna lose.

(That's the way love goes).

Sometimes that's the way... 

(That's the way...)
