(You wanna do it, Dave'
- Is there a piano'
There's a piano right behind you,
David Leonhard on the piano,
- I got to figure it out,
This is...this is gonna be a joke,
- Okay, here we go,
Go.)

When I gave up, you held up,
When I ran out, you filled me up, oh no,
When I kept running, you kept up, good Lord,
When I let you down, you lifted me right up...this is the way love is.

(Don't get fancy, respect your elders.)

I couldn't find the words, you understood,
When I didn't have the time, you were in no hurry,
I wouldn't make ends meet, you tied them together,
When I cheated you kept to the rules.

This is the way love is, this is the way love is,
It's a one-sided, double-minded mirror with no reflection, no.

When I was keeping it in, you were giving it out,
When I was losing out, you kept coming back,
When I was holding back, you were holding on,
When I was losing my cool, you were keeping your love warm, oh, warm, yeah.

This is the way love is, this is the way love is,
Well, it's a one-sided, double-minded mirror with no reflection, no,
Yeah, this is the way love is, this is the way love is,
It's a one-sided, double-minded mirror with no reflection, no.

When I kept it all to myself, just like a miser holds on to his last dime,
When I closed up myself, like a desperate hand upon a lifeline,
Well, I was bled, I was dry, wrapped up in my pride,
This is the way it is when you're on the wrong side.

Yeah, this is the way love is, this is the way love is,
When it's a one-sided, double-minded mirror with no reflection, no, no, no,
Hey, this is the way love is, this is the way love is,
And it's a one-sided, double-minded mirror with no reflection, oh yeah,

This is the way love is,
This is the way love is,
Well, it's a one-sided, double-minded mirror with no reflection, no, no, no,
This is the way love is,
This is the way love is,
This is the way love is,
Yeah, this is the way love is,
This is the way love is.

(David Leonhard, the keyboard,
Take a bow, Dave.)
