The Jackson 5 - That's How Love Is 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 1)
She almost broke my heart (Strike 2)
How could she have the nerve?
And when I wasn't looking
She struck me out with a curve (You're out)

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

Ooh, put on my 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
And when I waved at the girl at ringside
She knocked me flat on my (Whoa)

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

Ooh, Jermaine, you're a little older
Give me some philosophy
How can I win the game of love
And make her come running 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 is)
That's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is (That's how love is)
Well, I know, take it from me
That's how love is (That's how love is)
That's how love's supposed to be, Michael
(I see)
That's how love is (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 ow, ow

That's how love is, love's supposed to be
Come on, come on
That's how love is, take it from me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
That's how love is (That's how love is)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Love's supposed to be)
That's how love is (That's how love is)
I know (Take it from me)

Well, sock it to me, sock it
To me, sock it to me, ooh
That's how love is, yeah
(Love's supposed to be)
Ooh, that's how love is, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know (Take it from) oh (Take it from)
Ooh (Take it from me)
