(Yuh huh) |
|
(Hey hey) |
|
Okay, this is what I say |
|
About when I was a young man |
|
Back in the day |
|
I see a young lady |
|
Thinking she was fine |
|
Then I try to step to her |
|
Just to make her mine |
|
Bet, I proceed with a plan |
|
Tellin' her how I could be her man |
|
Lookin' in her eyes |
|
While I tossed the bait |
|
But she threw it right back in my face |
|
Now I wanted this girl just to talk to me |
|
But she wouldn't even take the time to walk to me |
|
I got dissed |
|
And that made me made |
|
So I ran home just to tell my dad |
|
I had a question, for my dear father |
|
If girls treat you this bad, why bother? |
|
He said you're learnin' somethin' everyone else knows |
|
Just listen close son |
|
'Cause that's the way love goes |
|
(Ah hah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
Now I remember |
|
When I got older |
|
The ladies got hotter |
|
And my luck got colder |
|
Girls tellin' me I won't go for that |
|
Just because Young MC was not phat |
|
Now by Phat, I don't mean overweight |
|
I mean makin' crazy dollars |
|
'Til they come in a crate |
|
Ya see, I had myself a job |
|
I worked as hard as I could |
|
But to the young ladies |
|
It was just no goo&100 |
|
Wow, I guess you can't win for losin' |
|
Havin' bad luck with the girls you're choosin' |
|
I said to myself these dames are wack |
|
But give me some time and I'm gonna get them back |
|
But for now I manage my situation |
|
I'm pickin' my women all across the nation |
|
I'm havin' rough times with the girls I chose |
|
But I'll have to deal, because yo |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Yuh hah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
Break it down |
|
(BRIDGE) |
|
Alright, I went out last night |
|
Thinking about a girl that would treat me right |
|
I find myself chillin' at a discoteque |
|
And the night went better than I could expect |
|
One girl, down for the whole evenin' |
|
For when I got there to when I was leaving |
|
We went to her place and got in a cab |
|
She said she was a model |
|
I said, yo, alright |
|
We opened up a window to watch a full moon |
|
But the night was much colder than the afternoon |
|
She started to shiver |
|
So I gave her my sweater |
|
I said you alright? |
|
She said, yeah much better |
|
I held her close, she felt good in my arms |
|
And I knew this girl would do me no harm |
|
Thinkin' how the two of us could be as one |
|
Then I fell asleep before my boat was done |
|
Now I woke up, I was still in her place |
|
In the mornin' sunlight I could see her face |
|
Yo, I tried to get up, so I could start my day |
|
But I merely knocked over my breakfast tray |
|
Now this girl went and made breakfast for me |
|
When last night was the first time she saw me |
|
You win some, you lose some, I suppose |
|
Well I feel like a winner, yo |
|
'Cause that's the way love goes |
|
(Ah hah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Ah hah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
(My my my my, that's the way love goes) |
|
That's the way love goes |
|
See ya! |
