Jackson 5 — That's How Love Goes lyrics

Lyrics

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
