That’s How It Is (When You’re In Love)

Please, somebody take your hand and slap some sense into me
Open my eyes, 'cause I'm too blind to see
I've got this woman and she's messin' my mind around
She knows that I love her, but still she's tryin' to put me down
I know I'm just a fool, someone she can use
But I can't help myself, ooh, I can't help myself

Ooh, now listen baby, I know I'm just your fool
But I love you, and for you I'll break every rule
Now I've broken hearts before of the ones that love me
But now I'm in love, too, place no one above you
The Lord knows I love you, always thinkin' of you
But I can't help myself, I can't help myself

Ooh no, please don't look down on me
Because I'm weak. When you're in love, it's easy to be
I know I'm being abused
Misused and confused
But that's how it is when you're in love

That's how it is now
I know that's how it is now
When you love someone that don't love you
Oh yeah, keep on being abused
Misused and confused
But that's how it is when you're in love

I know, I know that's how it is now
Make you feel so fine, yeah now
All right, oh yeah, keep on being abused
Keep on being misused
But that's how it is
It ain't a doggone thing you can do
No, now, oh no
Got to keep on holdin' on, yeah
