Lyrics
Two people take a vow to be together
Two individuals make a commitment to be together
And live and love each other forever
They plan to live and love each other for eternity
They promise to love a lifetime
They pledge to love for a lifetime
Funny thing, then they change their minds
Ironically, they change their minds
They both go their separate ways
They go separate ways, and love becomes a memory
And love is just a memory
Love becomes a distant recollection
But a young heart doesn't stay sad long
A young heart doesn't remain sad for long
Another love soon comes along (that's the way love is)
Another love soon enters their lives (that's the way love is)
That's the way love is
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of love
That's the way love is
-That's the way love is
-Two people don't get along
Two people experience discord
Deep down in both have feelings very strong
Despite disagreements, deep feelings persist
They try hard to conceal it their hearts burn
Efforts to conceal emotions, but hearts burn with passion
'Cause they both know they can feel it (that's the way love is)
Both acknowledge the undeniable presence of love (that's the way love is)
That's the way love is
Repetition emphasizing the recurring nature of love
That's the way love is
-That's the way love is
-Lovers leave without reason
Lovers part without clear reasons
Feelings change just like seasons
Feelings change, analogous to seasons
Love, nothing's for certain
Love is uncertain and unpredictable
There's no use in pretending
No point in pretending, revealing what's behind the facade
What's behind the curtain
Alluding to hidden aspects of love
(That's the way love is)
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of love
Sometimes it's so fast
Love can be swift and sudden
(That's the way love is)
Acknowledging the undeniable nature of love's feelings
Love's feeling ain't no denying
Love's emotions cannot be denied
(That's the way love is)
Restating the nature of love
That's the way love is
Confirmation of the way love operates
I'm singing about love
Expressing the theme of the song - singing about love
About love
Reiteration of the focus on the theme of love
