Lyrics:

“That’s The Way Love Goes”

I’ve been throwin’ horseshoes
Over my left shoulder
I’ve spent most all my life
Searchin’ for that four-leaf cloverYet, you ran with me
Chasin’ my rainbows
And honey, I love you, too
That’s the way love goes

That’s the way love goes, babe
That’s the music God made
For all the world to sing
It’s never old, it grows
Losin’ makes me sorry
You say, “Honey, don’t worry”
Don’t you know, I love you too?
That’s the way love goes

That’s the way love goes, babe
That’s the music God made
For all the world to sing
It’s never old, it grows
Losin’ makes me sorry
You say, “Honey, don’t worry”
Don’t you know, I love you too?
That’s the way love goes
