That's How Love Is

I'm trying to get to first base
With that little girl I love
But my technique is much too weak
The game is gettin' rough

Strike one, she almost broke my heart
Strike two, she had the nerve
And when I wasn't looking
She struck me out with a curve

That's how love is
That's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is
Hey boys, take it from me

That's how love is
That's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is
Hey boys, take it from me

Put on the gloves, jumped in the ring
And I heard the first bell sound
When she put her arms around me
I knew I won the first round

The tighter she held me
I knew I was gonna last
When I waved to a girl at ringside
She knocked me flat on my

That's how love is
That's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is
Hey boys, take it from me

That's how love is
That's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is
Hey boys, take it from me

Jermaine, you're a little older
Give me some philosophy
How can I win the game of love
And make 'em come runnin' to me?

Listen Michael, you win a little bit, lose a little bit
It's all in the game, I see
It doesn't matter if you win or lose
It all turns out the same

That's how love is
That's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is
Well, I know, take it from me

That's how love is
That's how love's supposed to be
Michael, that's how love is
Well, I know, take it from me

Sing it to me, sing it to me
Sing it to me, sing it to me

That's how love is
That's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is, take it from me
Come on, come on

That's how love is, love's supposed to be
That's how love is

That's how love is
Ooh, yeah
