Oh baby, as the bitter tears fall from your eyes Oh, a thousand times you ask yourself why, The one guy you loved has departed Oh, you're left alone and brokenhearted, Oooh, love just comes and it goes How long it's gonna' last, said nobody knows... Uh-huh, that's the way, love is baby (That's the way love is, Sho' 'nuff how it is) Oh, that's the way, love is sugar (That's the way love is, Sho' 'nuff how it is) That's how it is Oh, that's how it is baby...

The road of love is rough sometimes Don't let it get the best of you, See I've been hurt (Been hurt) So many times... So I know just what you're goin through, You wish that you never born You've got to forget him, Now that he's gone Saying That's the way, love is baby (That's the way love is, Sho' 'nuff how it is) Oh, that's the way, love is honey (That's the way love is Sho' 'nuff how it is) That's how it is... So wipe away your tears... Love is here today, And gone tomorrow (That's the way love is, Sho' 'nuff how it is) All of your joys Turn to sorrows... That's the way love is, Sho' 'nuff how it is One day gladness, And the next day sadness... That's the way love is, Sho' 'nuff how it is Oh, that's the way...

I built my love a house from the bottom to the top Did it all with my hands and the wood I chopped Then the times got rough, we had to sell our home But we kept our love, and we're still going strong That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives We've had our ups and downs, we yell instead of talk Well, we both ran around in a state of shock Lonely and afraid, we looked inside our hearts Found our love survived shining through the dark That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives

Love's Love's such a wonderful thing Just think of the joys it can bring I've got so much love to give to you Now love is a shelter let it be your shade Somewhere you can run to your troubles will fade Life's so full of shadows it's so full of grey Let my love surround you and keep out the pain There's a feeling in the night That I know would be right to be shared Come on tell me what you see Every time you look at me Do you care? Love's Love's such a wonderful thing Just think of the joys it can bring I've got so much love to give to you Love's Love's such a wonderful thing Just think of the joys it can bring I've got so much love to give to you If each passing day girl gets harder to bear You know where to run to I'll always be there There's a feeling in the night That I know would be right to be shared Come on tell me what you see Every time you look at me Do you care? Love's Love's such a wonderful thing Just think of the joys it can bring I've got so much love to give to you Repeat last verse and fade.

It was early Sunday morning Everyone in the house was still asleep She made some toast and coffee Took a shower and made herself smell sweet She said, "I don't want a bus ride, I believe that the walk might help me think Got a heart kind of heavy I need some big hat and gloves, shoes and bag religion!" Religion That's my decision Some of that "make me feel better when I shout!" religion That's my decision Papa Henry was full of spice He was a man usually nice But something got into him last night Made him want to fuss and hollar The entire house was in a sweat His bottle got broken and the floor got wet "Clean it up!" you could hear him scream Then he said, "I'm going out" I need religion Religion That's my decision Some of that "raise up the roof, 90 proof" religion That's my decision Religion It's my decision, oh yes it is That's my decision It's the story about a good family Who doesn't live anymore in good harmony They are people who love their daughter and son They try to give them religion Little Billy likes his best friend Jack How in the world could he be like that Mama and Henry wanna have that chat Boy, you need religion Little Betty, whatcha gonna do? There's a child growing inside of you You should've stopped and thought things through Little girl you need a vision of religion Religion And that's my decision Some of that "how'd I get on Rikki Lake" religion That's my decision Religion Get a little, Religion Get a little Religion
